EASY Two-Ingredient Crockpot Chicken Recipe

Crockpot Chicken Recipe

How many nights do you want to make a delicious and healthy dinner, but you just don’t have the energy? You know the scripture in Matthew, “…the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”? I find myself in that position way more than I would like! That usually leads to eating out or a frozen pizza and that really doesn’t help our fitness or money-saving goals. So I started experimenting with fast, but healthy recipes that would also make for great next day lunches! This two-ingredient crockpot chicken recipe quickly became a staple on our weekly dinner menu! It is the perfect protein for so many dishes and is just so tasty! I think you will be shocked to learn just how easy it is!

Two Ingredients Crockpot Chicken

Crockpot Chicken Ingredients

  1. 4 Raw and Rinsed Chicken Breasts
  2. 1 16 oz. Jar of Pace Chunky Style Medium Salsa

Directions

Place all 4 pieces of chicken in your crockpot and cover with the salsa. Place the lid on the crockpot and select the setting for 4 hours. Go have a glass of wine, read by the pool, or head to the office while the amazing invention that we call the crockpot works its magic! After four hours, take the lid off and watch with amazement as you are able to shred the chicken with a fork!

Tada! You are done! How easy was that? This chicken is cooked to perfection and is so delicious! You can serve this in a salad, on nachos, or with a side of veggies for a low carb option! This week, I already had the ingredients for tacos, so we decided to have some shredded chicken tacos. Jeremy (my hunky husband) really likes when I serve this Chipotle style with beans, rice, and guacamole on a salad! However you decide to eat it, I can assure you that you will absolutely love it! Enjoy!

Easy Shrimp and Sausage Foil Packet Recipe

Shrimp and Sausage Foil Packet Recipe

Y’all! It is officially fall and I could not be happier! Football, sweaters, and pumpkins! Oh, I love this time of year. I don’t know about you, but as the colder weather starts rolling in, I find myself getting much more creative with new recipes in the kitchen! As I was heading out to the grocery store for the week, I checked to see what random items we had left over from the recipes I made the week before. You know, trying to use everything possible, because, well, let’s save all the money! I have also made it a game. Like how creative can I be this week?

Anyway, my husband absolutely loves shrimp. While I love the idea of shrimp and I think there are so many delicious recipes out there, my taste buds will never know. Yes. I’m allergic. But thankfully, I’m not so allergic that I can’t cook it for the sweet husband. I had some frozen shrimp and corn from other recipes I had made earlier in the month, so I decided to grab some sausage and make one of his favorite meals! I purposefully did not include potatoes because we are both trying to do low carb, but you can easily add potatoes to this dish. Just boil the potatoes with the corn to make sure they are soft enough. Since I can’t taste test shrimp recipes as I go along, I rely completely on my husband’s review. He promised it was delicious, so I’m trusting his opinion! It is SO easy to make and cleanup is a breeze! This recipe serves 2, but it is so easy to double or triple the recipe for a dinner party! Ready to get started? 

Easy Shrimp and Sausage Fall Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 ear of corn cut into 4 pieces. You can use frozen or fresh.
  • 20-30 pieces of shrimp depending on how hungry you are! Make sure the shrimp are peeled, no tails, and deveined. You will divide the shrimp between the two foil packets. If you have frozen shrimp, make sure it is fully thawed.
  • 12 ounces of your favorite sausage
  • 3 Tablespoons of butter, melted

Seasoning Ingredients

  • 1 tsp. of garlic powder
  • 1tsp. of onion powder
  • 1 tsp. of Lowrey’s seasoning
  • 1 tsp. of paprika
  • 1 tsp. of Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tsp. of Parsley
  • Pinch of Salt
  • Pinch of PepperRecipe Card

Shrimp and Sausage Recipe

Step 1:
Preheat oven to 400 F.

Step 2:
Boil the corn for 4-6 minutes. Drain.

Step 3:
Add your sliced sausage, corn, and shrimp to a large mixing bowl. If you are using potatoes, add them to the bowl as well. I chose Hillshire Farms Beef Polska Kielbasa Sausage. It is already cooked, so it is ready to heat and serve! I was worried that it would cook too much, but the hubs said it was perfect and so delicious! If you are not using precooked sausage, make sure you cook it ahead of time.

Step 4:
Add the seasoning mixture and melted butter to the bowl and squeeze a little lemon juice on top. Gently stir all of that yummy goodness around to make sure everything in the bowl is evening coated.
