*Time and money saving tips:

  • § Use slow cooker liners in your crock pot for easier clean up
  • § Mix this recipe the night before and refrigerate.
  • § Slow cooker time frame, not working out? Mix ingredients together in a baking dish and bake for 30 - 40 minutes at 350 degrees F.
  • § Keep canned chicken in the pantry for emergency meals.
  • § When you have left-over chicken, chop it and freeze it in a freezer container in 1 cup portions so that you can have chopped chicken whenever you need it at a less expensive cost.
