One of the things I rant about ALL the time is preparation. In order to succeed with your fitness, weight loss and nutrition goals you HAVE to be prepared and trust me, I know how hard it is when your time is constantly in demand with work, kids, significant others, friends, schooling, charity work, house up keep … You get the point.
It seems like there’s always something else to do (usually much more fun than food prep!) and sadly, it’s usually YOUR VERY OWN SELF that gets neglected. Am I right? We’ve all “been there, done that” to ourselves haven’t we? Well, this prep is so easy there’s absolutely NO reason you can’t do it.
What am I talking about? Prepping your chicken in the crock pot – Soooooo easy!
Easy Food Prep You Have NO Excuse NOT to Do!
Ingredients
Whatcha Do
- If frozen, thaw chicken breasts in fridge overnight
- In the morning, cut the gross stuff off and toss the breasts into a crock pot
- Cover them with water
- Sprinkle lightly with onion powder or garlic powder if you choose. You may leave it plain if you want it natural to make different seasoned dishes later
- Set your crock pot on your desired cook time. I usually do 6-8 hours
- When it's done put it all in a container so you can make meals for the next 4 or 5 days using other food items you have already prepped as well

Having your food prepped and ready is wonderful – sometimes I just toss some on a salad, sometimes I throw some in a skillet and re-heat with some seasonings and eat with a sweet potato, sometimes I spice it up and make a chicken and veggie skillet out of it … I could go on and on. The beauty is I can do whatever I want since it’s handy and ready to go at a moments notice if needed.
See – simple, quick, healthy, clean. No excuse!
Cheers!
