| Good morning, Friends. Twice in two weeks, I heard two women, my dental hygienist and a fellow hockey mom, describe their favorite crockpot meal: Place chicken breasts, taco seasoning, a jar of salsa, a can of black beans, and canned or frozen corn into a crockpot. Cook on low heat all day. Many of you know, I love my crockpot for beans (see here, here, and here). But as my blog's recipe archives reflect, I have had little success with my slow cooker otherwise. So I was skeptical as I found myself shopping for this recipe. Both women called for breasts, but, predictably, I couldn't not buy thighs. The assembly was simple, taking all of about 3 minutes to unload everything into the pot... ... 6 hours later, it was done... ... and it was delicious! And everyone loved it! I served it with shredded lettuce (top photo), grated cheese, guacamole (purchased), and chips, and everyone assembled bowls as they pleased. Incredibly, 2 pounds of meat fed all six of us, thanks to the help of all the fixings. But, Friends, the real miracle here is that dinner prep was essentially done by 8 am. I have now made the recipe three times and foresee it becoming a staple. This recipe is not on the blog, but I've typed it up in a Google Doc in case any of you want more guidance on the quantities. As always, I'd love to hear from you if you give it a go.
PS: My friend Colu Henry's new book, Better at Home, came out this week, and it is such a beauty! You can get a sneak peek in Colu's wonderful newsletter, and I will share more about the book soon. I want to make everything but... ... of course, I had to start at the "Pasta Pots & Pizza Pies" chapter. This one is topped with thinly sliced potatoes, mozzarella, and 'nduja, a spicy, spreadable Calabrian sausage... ... and it is delicious! More soon! But get your copy here in the meantime: Better at Home: Recipes for Big Nights In Review of the WeekThin & Crispy (3 Minute) Chicken Cutlets "This was absolutely AMAZING!!! I then topped it with a little passata, some shredded mozzarella, and popped it into the oven for a few minutes for a fast chicken parmigiana. Sensational!!! The combo of Dijon and mayo added a delicious flavour with less effort. Thank you!
