Crock Pot Garlic Chicken, Roasted Cauliflower And Sautéed Green Beans
You can never fail with chicken and veggies for all kinds of occasion.
There are days that I feel so desperate trying to make my kids eat veggies for them to have a whole hearty meal. Thanks to several slow cooker recipes, I no longer need to worry about preparing several dishes which will be yummy and healthy at the same time.
This recipe is one example of a slow cooker dish that gives you the best of both, delicious and healthy. One thing I love about this is how tender the chicken is, which is also one of the reasons why my sons love having this for meals.
Check out the recipe below.
