This recipe has been floating around the internet
and when HHjr came across it,
he knew it would be a great weeknight dinner
Easy, kid friendly and do ahead
means “winner winner chicken dinner” to both of us!
Boneless chicken
a bag of frozen tots, milk, cheese, cooked bacon
and seasoning, that’s it!
He used chicken tenders for a quick way to get even chunks,
but you can use boneless skinless thighs or breasts if you prefer
Place everything in the slow cooker, set it to high and go relax for 4 hours and dinner is ready!
