I adore my crock-pot and try to use it whenever I can. I prefer it to lots of other cooking methods because of how good it makes the house smell. And nothing beats making a scrumptious dinner in less than 2-minutes. Well, the preparation that is!
This chicken dinner can be the basis for many dinners – shred the chicken and make tacos (like here), or serve it over a seasoned rice and veg. You can even make a casserole with the chicken you made in your crock-pot. The possibilities are endless!

- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions
- Season chicken with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, cumin and salt and place in the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with salsa verde, cover and cook on high for 2 hours.
