This was a 9 o’clock at night, need to figure out what I am going to eat for dinner tomorrow night but won’t have time to make type of meal. Luckily I left my crock pot on my counter and that was the end of it, nice and easy. Throw chicken in a crock pot with some nice Paleo sauce from Fresh and Easy or Trader Joe’s, with some veggies and call it a day. Prepped in 10 minutes on Monday night, put in the crock pot Tuesday morning and it should be delicious and waiting when I get home. Enjoy

Sweet Potato Scramble
This was delicious over rice. The chicken was super tender, it fell right apart and was easy to shred. We ended up using a homemade marinara sauce, and I added a little sugar for sweetness. Thanks for the recipe! Great find!
Oh that sounds delicious
Tastes great but created a whole lotta sauce. Next time I’ll try it without the can of diced tomatoes and just stick with the marinara. Thanks!
Do you have a recipe on how to make my own tomato basil marinara?
I don’t but Danielle Walker has a great one :) http://againstallgrain.com/2011/04/30/simple-marinara-sauce/
I made this for dinner last week…AMAZING!!!!! Fresh basil is a must and your house smells great and after a long day at work – this hit the spot! Thank you so very much for sharing this recipe!
You are so very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!
Just made this today and it was delicious! Thanks for another great recipe George!
You’re so welcome!
Do you have an approximate weight of the amount of chicken used? Even organic chicken breasts vary hugely in size which can turn crock pot recipes either soupy or too dry. Heading out to Wegman’s now to grab some more almond meal to make your lemon poppy seed muffins.
To be honest, I don’t remember. I would try it out and let me know how it goes though, yeah? :)
This was delicious! I didn’t add any salt or pepper and the kids only needed a pinch once it was served. Didn’t have spaghetti squash, so we ate it over sweet potatoes! GREAT dish, will definitely make regularly! Thanks for the great recipe George!
That sounds delicious, I want to eat it over sweet potatoes now
