Slow Cooker Chicken Marinara is a simple go-to for your crockpot or slow cooker!
Do you love super simple slow cooker meals? I do! Lately, we have been SO busy that dinner time has been a struggle. Yes, even for someone that cooks a lot it’s still hard sometimes to get dinner on the table.
My husband has started his extra job during the summer months and it takes up almost all of his evening, so this means I’m left to wrangle the kids, get homework done, all the nightly duties, and dinner too… it can be tough!
I know almost all of us have those same challenges. The good thing is my handy dandy slow cooker can really help a mama out!
This past week, I went with a very easy version of Slow Cooker Chicken Marinara.
Just before dinner was ready, I made a little bit of pasta mixed with marinara sauce to serve with our chicken. This pairs well with salad or corn. My kids prefer corn but I like a good salad with this dish.
