This is a very simple recipe that is perfect for a cold winter's night! A secret ingredient in this recipe is using Red Robin's spice mix that they sell at the restaurant. This isn't an ingredient that most people have in their households, so the close equivalent in spices will be given in this recipe (if you have the Red Robin burger spice mix, by all means use that for this recipe!) This recipe serves 6-8 people and takes about 6-8 hours to cook

This recipe is one of the EASIEST ones that you can do! If you have a child at home who wants to help out more in the kitchen, this can be a great way for them to do so without worrying about them making a mess or getting hurt. There are only 2 main ingredients, and then the other ingredients are up to you! Let us know in the comments if you try out this recipe! Recipe serves 4-5 people and takes 10-15 minutes of preparation and 6-8 hours to cook.
Ingredients: 1 jar of salsa (any spice level, 16 oz, can be homemade) 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 soft fajita tortillas per person (can be corn or flour, we use flour)(if someone in your family doesn't like tortillas, you can put it on a hamburger bun and it tastes just as good!) Optional: Rice (we recommend Spanish, brown or white), cheese (we recommend the Mexican four cheese blend or 6 cheese Italian blend), peppers (bell and jalapeño work great), onion diced (Vidalia, yellow, or white), guacamole, sour cream, and/or more salsa. Directions: 1. Line the slow cooker with a slow cooker liner 2. Pour in 1/4 cup of water in the bottom of the slow cooker to prevent the chicken from burning 3. Take a few spoonfuls of the salsa and spread it on the bottom of the slow cooker so it's just barely covering the bottom 4. Place the chicken in the slow cooker on top of the salsa 5. Spread the rest of the salsa on top of the chicken 6. Cook on low for 6-8 hours (ours cooks in 6 hours, but you should check and make sure that the chicken is cooked all of the way through before shredding. It should be falling apart as you try to pick it up) 7. Shred the chicken with a fork and put it back into the slow cooker for 15 minutes so it can absorb some of the juice. 8. Optional: warm your soft tortilla shells in the microwave for 15 seconds with a damp paper towel around them. 9. Put chicken on the shells and top with desired ingredients 10. Enjoy!
This recipe is a delicious and hearty meal on a cold winter's night. It even tastes just as great when you reheat it the next day in the microwave! Let us know in the comments if you try this recipe!

However, it's not always ordered because it always seems to take 40 minutes for them to cook it. This slow cooker recipe cooks all day so that you can have your Chicken Vesuvio without having to cook for 40 minutes straight! It's very delicious on a cold day (or even a warm one) and the secret to this is to marinate it over night if you can (optional) which lets the flavors become more enriched. You can easily cut this recipe in half or double it. Let us know in the comments if you try out this recipe!!
Ingredients: 4-5 large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless works great here!) 2-4 tablespoons of olive oil 3/4 cup of dry white wine 2-3 teaspoons of chicken bouillon powder 3/4 cup of chicken broth 3-4 teaspoons of Italian herbs 1-2 teaspoons of parsley flakes (or fresh) 3-4 cloves of garlic minced 3-4 large russet potatoes cut into 1 inch pieces 3-4 teaspoons of onion powder 1 small white or yellow onion diced Parmesan cheese grated for serving (optional) Instructions: (1) If marinating overnight: In a gallon ziplock bag, combine together all ingredients except for the parmesan cheese. Shake well. Marinate in fridge overnight 2. If marinating overnight, pour bag into slow cooker. Skip step one if you don't want to marinate it over night and just put all of the ingredients straight into the slow cooker except the parmesan cheese if using. 3. Cook on low for 6-8 hours (tends to take 7-8 hours, check it every half hour after 6 hours). 4. Serve with parmesan cheese grated on top if desired. 5. Enjoy! Love Italian food? Then this is definitely the recipe for you! Best part about it is that it cooks in the slow cooker so you can prepare it in the morning and leave it all day!

You can get these at local grocery stores and some dollar stores as well.
