Are you a busy person? There are these awesome categories of meals called “Crock Pot Dump Meals” that make dinner easier!
I was looking for a new recipe to try today and came across a few that I think you’ll like.
Meal #1 – Garlic Parmesan Chicken, Potatoes, Carrots
2 Chicken Breasts
Small Potatoes (I got a 24oz bag of new potatoes)
Baby Carrots (I used 1/2 a bag)
1 bottle of Sweet Baby Ray Garlic Parmesan
Place the Chicken Breasts in the bottom of your Crock Pot or Instant Pot.
Put in the potatoes (I quartered mine)
Put in the Carrots (I cut mine in half)
Pour in the whole bottle of Sweet Baby Rays
Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8.
I used the Instant Pot as a Slow Cooker for this recipe.
Meal #2 – Pulled Hawaiian Chicken:
2 large chicken breasts
Half a bottle of your preferred BBQ sauce (I use Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey BBQ)
Small can of crushed pineapples
Cook on high for 4 hours and pull apart chicken. Serve as a sandwich, over rice, whatever you want. Is great reheated too!

Meal #3 – Stuffin’ and Chicken
A few boneless chicken thighs (or breasts, but I think they get dry), a box of stove top stuffing, two cans of cream soup (I use mushroom, but chicken works too), and some chicken broth (at least half a box, but adjust to taste). Stir everything but the chicken in the crockpot, put the chicken on top, and cook on low for six hours or so. Salt and pepper to taste. Add a little broth and stir if it gets too dry. If you feel really ambitious, get one of those steamable bags of peas, steam them in the microwave, and put them over the finished product.

Meal #4 – No Sear Pot Roast
Pot roast! No searing needed.
1 lb bag of baby carrots
1 lb bag washed baby potatoes (fewer if small slow cooker)
2-3 lb chuck roast (or other cheap roast)
1 package ranch seasoning mix
1 package brown gravy mix
1 c. Beef broth
Put everything in slow cooker in order listed. No meat searing needed. Cook on high 6 hours or low for 8 hours.
