One of the greatest kitchen inventions since sliced bread could very well be the crockpot. Crockpots allow us to create flavorful meals with little to no effort. One of the biggest benefits of a crockpot is that it allows us to live life without spending so much time in the kitchen. When we come home, a meal is ready and waiting. We can use the leftovers for another night or freeze them for an easy meal when we are out of time another evening. The best way to take advantage of a Crockpot is to plan your week out ahead of time. Get started with a crockpot chicken week meal plan.
By now you probably know how much I love crockpot and Instant Pot cooking. These devices mean less time in the kitchen and more time for me spent doing things I love! While it’s fun to be in the kitchen sometimes, there are other times when I’d much rather be hanging out with my family and not tied to the stove or the oven!
For one whole week, you can use different crockpot chicken recipes to fill out your week meal plan and never have to think about what’s for dinner.
Having a crockpot chicken week meal plan means your week of meals is already set. By introducing the crockpot into your meal plan you make everything much simpler. The whole week is already planned out and the crockpot makes every meal even easier. Simply make one recipe, save the leftovers and use them for lunch or dinner over the weekend. You don’t have to worry about anyone in the family asking what’s for dinner either. Instead, one afternoon of prep can get you ready for the entire week.

Turkey Chili Crockpot Recipe | Best of Life Magazine
Okay, yes, the recipe is for turkey but this recipe works really well when you substitute 2 pounds of shredded chicken. Chili is one of the best crockpot recipes because the flavors all simmer together for hours. When finished, you end up with a dish that is filled with flavor and smells amazing. You will most likely end up with leftovers that can be frozen or refrigerated for use later during your next week meal plan. The leftovers would make a great topping on a bowl of rice or on a hot dog.

Stuffed peppers have grown in popularity and for very good reason. The peppers aren’t spicy and the stuffing can be whatever you’d like.
