Mexican Crockpot Dinner

I am so excited to share this recipe. I wanted to try something a little different and out of our comfort zone and surprisingly our daughters loved it. I found this delicious dinner and like always I had to tweak it a little to make it my own.

They are a couple ways you could serve this dinner. One way is, as regular cooked chicken breast or since it falls apart so nicely you can even add the chicken and beans into a wrap. We did both and the girls enjoyed the wraps.

Mexican Crockpot Chicken 

warning your home will smell great!

• chicken breasts
• chicken broth
• black beans
• chipolata seasoning (only a little if you do not want it spicy for kids)
• taco or fajita seasoning
• a little water if you feel the need. 

1. Boil the chicken breasts. ( I do this so the crock pot time isn't as long if I run out of time also to make sure the chicken is cooked in the middle.)
2. Add all the ingredients in the crockpot and turn on high for about 6-8 hours. (the chicken will start to fall apart when you touch it with a fork when its finished cooking.)
3. It is that simple and non time consuming which I love.

Stuffed Spinach Chicken (recipe)

Last week I wanted to make a new meal for dinner that I haven't tried yet. As a mother of three it's a little daring to do so. It could both ways. I could get great compliments or Disgusting look on their faces as they take the first bite. Of course as a mother who slaved in the kitchen I'm hoping for the compliments so I don't feel like I wasted food and my time.

I wanted to make stuffed chicken, so I searched all over Pinterest for the perfect recipe. I couldn't find a recipe that stood out so I incorporated a few ingredients from a few different recipes. And thrilled to say my daughters loved it. They ate it all and said I can make it for dinner again in the future. Good thing, because I loved it too.

Here is the recipe I made into my own...

Stuffed spinach chicken

Ingredients it calls for
Large skinless chicken breasts
Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
Parmesan cheese (shredded)
Fresh spinach leaves
1 or 2 eggs
flour and shake n bake
Toothpicks

How to prepare
Preheat oven to 350
Chop the spinach leaves.
In a bowl I add the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese with the chopped spinach leaves
Use a separate bowl for the egg. (Beat the egg)
In another bowl I add the flour and shake n bake. (Could probably use just flour but the shake n bake gives more flavor.)

Slice the chicken breast open half way like a bun.
Beat the heck out of the chicken breast.
Add the spinach mixture in the chicken and fold over the other half of the sliced chicken breast.
Take  couple toothpicks to close the chicken along the open edge.
Dip the chicken into the egg.
Dip the chicken into the flour mixture.
Lay in a glass pan.
Once they are all in the glass pan throw some shredded cheese over the top .
Cook in the oven for about 45 minutes.
