Crock Pot Meals

As most of you know I am a #gymrat. Which means I am in the gym 5 days a week in the evenings! This can be tricky with 2 school age girls..

So I decided to start making my meals in the Crock Pot. It has been the biggest timesaver and I thought I would start to share some of my meals with you!!


Today I am making chicken with turkey pepperoni, black olives, and diced tomato. 

First I put the chicken breast in the Crock Pot and cook all the fat off. 

After that I will drain out the fat and I either shred the chicken or chop it up and then I dump my other ingredients in. I will chop up the pepperoni into 1/4 pieces first. I season with onion powder and garlic. And I will sprinkle Italian seasoning on the top once I put it all in there. 

Thats it! I cook it on low for the afternoon and it is ready and delicious by the time I get home from the gym!


When its plated I will let the family pick a cheese if they want one. Im going for gorgonzola!!! 

For a side I will probaby make white rice. I come in from the gym and start the rice so that it cooks while i am in the shower. It makes everything so easy peasy!!

** I dont usually salt the food while its cooking. We try to limit the salt so if we want it we do it after:) MY FAVE TRICK: Use a standing mixer to shred the chicken breast for you. Put on your paddle attachment and let it shred away!
