Have more things piled on your to-do list in the new year? Hope you're out and about having more fun and enjoying at least a tiny bit.
As with the turn of every corner, there is always some adjustment to new schedules and things to do and get used to.
I've personally been playing around with some minimalist slow cooker dinner recipe ideas.
This slow cooker recipe has only three ingredients and is perfect for adding your own flair to with spices and extra flavorings. The possibilities are endless.
Dinner does not get any less complex than this one, my friends.
Hope you love the simplicity and few ingredients.
This recipe was made for crazy busy people that need easy meal solutions.
This was the first time using Portobella mushrooms (Baby Bellas in this case) in my slow cooker, but it sure won't be the last.
I just love them cooked almost any way, but they really add a lot to this very simple recipe.
With only three ingredients like my classic salsa chicken, plus some salt and pepper, this is a no fuss simple dinner idea.
If you are a mushroom lover, you will adore this quick fix!

This is so easy and delicious! I do have a question though, cause mine came out pretty soupy instead of creamy…it’s still enjoyable, but I’m wondering what may have caused that? Haha 😆.

Hi. I don't have a slow cooker but do have a Le Creuset pot. Online it says 190 degrees is the same as a cooker on low. Think this will work?

I have a similar recipe but it calls for golden mushroom soup and onion soup mix is sprinkled on top at the end then baked in oven. I'm wondering if they are ok to use in crockpot in this recipe? Love that it can be made ahead as a Nurse I can leave instructions for dinner and my teenage daughter can finish it up if I get called in.

can you start with the chicken frozen, and just do it on low for 6hr?

@Debbie, I use frozen chicken breasts, and it’s perfect every time.
