for those days you're so busy you're on the verge of a panic attack... a crock pot recipe


i'm often running around like a chicken with my head cut off.  maybe it's time management or maybe it's choice management, but sometimes i'm spread pretty thin.  i almost never say no to anything.


it is so nice on a busy day to come home to a cooked meal.  my good friend ashley gave me this super easy recipe, not sure where she got it from. i have no desire to be a food blogger but i like to share some of my favorite recipes, especially easy ones like this.  i still can't believe how good these are considering the effort put into making them.

ingredients:


1 pkg boneless skinless chicken breast
1 pkg chicken taco seasoning (i have lawry's pictured but i think i like mccormicks better) 
1 can rotel

1/4 c olive oil
1/4 c water


directions:


sprinkle taco seasoning in the bottom of a crockpot.  place frozen chicken breasts on top.  pour rotel on top of the chicken.  pour olive oil and water over everything.  cook on low for six hours.  you can turn the chicken halfway through but not necessary.  the chicken is so tender you just need to stick a fork in it and it shreds.  shred chicken and let it sit in the juices in the crockpot for 15-30 minutes more.  that's it!  super easy!
