Crockpot dinners are such timesavers. Here are a few simple recipes.
Salsa Chicken + Instant Pot Rice
No recipe for this one but I’m sure you can google it. I just like to throw it together: frozen 3-4 chicken breast, seasoning (cumin, salt, garlic, chili powder) topped with jar salsa and set to cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for a bit longer. When fully cooked shred and serve over white rice or in tacos.
Okay, so this one seems like it has a ton of ingredients and I know we’re trying to keep it simple. But….the ingredients are simple and the reviews on this recipe make it worth it!

I love finding easy recipes that you can tweak to your liking. I use this recipe as inspiration. I leave out the liquid smoke and add jalapeños into the crockpot. Try it and change it up to suit your tastebuds.
