An Easy Slow Cooker Recipe

We use the slow cooker all the time at my house, mainly because it’s easy to use and I don’t have to spend much time in the kitchen.

You can throw the chicken and the ingredients into the cooker in the morning, add some rice in the evening, and have dinner shortly after.

I’ve got a picky eater in the house and he loved this recipe. It’s not too strong of a taco flavor, but it added enough to make it delicious.

After seven hours, shred the chicken.

It should shred very easily. It’s so tender that I am able to shred it with two forks.

Replace the lid and cook for another 45 minutes to one hour, or until the rice is tender.

You can use white rice, which I what I used here, but you can also use Spanish rice, which will give it a little bit more of a spicy flavor.

    I have made this Fantasy Fudge for years. My kids tend to love the Rocky Road Fudge I make the best. So one variation is to add small marshmallows and pecan pieces to the plain chocolate Fudge recipe. At Christmas I’ve gotten used to the family’s order for:
    Plain
    Walnut
    Rocky Road
    Peanut butter
    Mint chocolate
    Pecan

    It isn’t hard as you can divide 3 recipes in half to make 6 flavors of the fudge.

    1. What a great idea to add those different ingredients. I love the list your family came up with. Thank you for the tips!
