Smothered Chicken

Smothered Chicken in a crockpot or slow cooker is one of the easiest meals you can throw together! It is literally a dump and go style slow cooker meal full of flavor and you can serve and enjoy in a variety of different ways. Love the versatility in this simple meal.

We love to eat our Smothered Chicken as is, but is also delicious spooned over mashed potatoes or with rice or even pasta

Spring seems to be one of the busiest seasons for our family. Between spring sports – track and baseball, spring productions for my daughter who is in theater to the end of school it is rare we have a night without something already planned for us. It can be rough living a fast paced life, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Hence the need for quick and easy meals, otherwise we would be going through the drive thru way too much. Slow cooker meals are a saving grace for all crazy busy mama's like myself.
