Want to know my #1 secret for feeding my family during the crazy work weeks? It’s chicken.  We eat chicken several times a week and I try to cook several pounds ahead of time. This week, my hubby cooked the chicken for me on the smoker.

My usual method for cooking chicken is to throw 2-4 pounds of chicken in the crockot with a few cups of chicken broth, turn the crockpot on low for 7 hours, and leave for work.
Chicken cooked on Sunday makes a great chicken Caesar wrap on Monday. 

I also chop up the cooked chicken and put it in freezer bags. Small bags are perfect to grab in the morning for my lunchtime salad. 
This week we will use the chicken in a casserole and a pasta dish, as well as the Caesar wraps I already showed you. Last week we used our chicken to make chicken soft tacos, white chicken chili, and chicken pizza. 

Once the chicken is cooked, dinner is a snap!
Happy cooking!
