I mentioned before that I love seasoning packets. I peruse the spice aisle almost every time I go to the grocery store to see if there are any flavors that speak to me. I use them on all kinds of meat but chicken is my favorite. Today I chose a sweet bbq seasoning packet that is made for roasting a whole chicken in the oven but I buck the system and always do it in the slow cooker.
So, toss in however many chicken breasts your family will eat. I throw them in frozen so they don't dry out (my dinner is typically going for 10 hours or so by the time we're all home) Then add 1-2 packets of the seasoning packet of your choice. Then, pour in some water - about 1" deep is what I do.
Turn it on low and you're done prepping dinner!
When you get home you can steam or roast some veggies, add a salad and dinner is ready. I mean really, 5 minutes. And real minutes too, not those 20 minute meals on TV where everything was already prepped ahead of time. I mean, can't ANYONE make a meal in 20 minutes if everything they need is laid out in tiny little bowls all measured and chopped for them.
Do you use seasoning packets to your advantage? What are some of your quick recipes using them?
