tasty tuesday {slow-cooker chili chicken meat}

3 reasons i decided to use my slow-cooker last week:
1-its so dern hot outside i didn't want to heat up my kitchen by turning on my oven.
2-worked all day and needed something that would be ready when we got home.
3-this recipe looked really good and easy so i wanted to try it (and with only 5 ingredients, very cheap!).


slow-cooker chili chicken meat
derived from: martha stewart
makes 4 servings (really it makes a lot more and i didn't use quite 2 lbs of chicken)





ingredients:
2 pounds chicken breast
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2-cup of chunky salsa (pick your heat)
3 tbs canned chipolte chiles in adobo sauce, coursely chopped + some of the sauce (use only 1-2 tbs if you can't take the heat. we like it spicy in our house!)
1 tbs chili powder

directions:
dump all ingredients in slow-cooker. cook on low for 8 hours or high for 6 hours. and voila you have meat for chicken tacos, burritos, nachos, salad, and etc.



i made this last wednesday. we were supposed to have some friends over for dinner but they couldn't make it and we ended up eating dinner with aaron's family that night. so, i stuck it in the fridge for thursday and we ate on it all weekend and aaron took the last of it for lunch today. it lasted us a long time.

martha's recipe is a little different, go {here} for her version.

once again, i'm linking up with 33 shades of green today. so head on over for some good recipes.

i found this strawberry crumb pie recipe, via the link-up, last week. plan on making it today! looks so delicious!

happy tuesday. elle louise and i are beating the heat by staying in doors! yea oh yea. we only have a few outdoor activities today...popsicles, bubbles, the bank and sonic happy hour!
