Easy Dump and Go Crockpot Chicken Meals for a Hassle-Free Dinner

Looking for a dinner that will basically cook itself?

I love nothing more than coming home from work and dinner is done! If I have the opportunity to throw something in the crockpot, I will!

Having to cook dinner when you have been working all day and then the kids have had all those after school activities is enough to make you lose your sanity a little bit.

Plus I like to cook things that I know my kids will eat – and these are recipes they love. Especially the crockpot chicken and rice dinner. My two year old LOVES anything chicken and rice! I think she would eat it every day if I would let her.

I try to prepare for those crazy busy type of days in the morning and just toss a few ingredients in the slow cooker and let it do it’s thing – but sometimes the mornings are just as hectic as it is at night time and I just don’t have time. So on those days I will make one of these 20 minute dinners!

These crockpot chicken dinners are so simple and absolutely delicious, but without all of the hassle of cooking dinner on the stove or in the oven!

Whether you want something basic, something comforting or a dinner that a little bit fancier – there is something in this list for everyone!
