As the name suggests, this was just a simple meal prep recipe to throw together over a very busy weekend. I loved this slow cooker chicken because it had very little prep, and all I had to do was make sure I bought the chicken and red onion ahead of time. I quickly sliced the red onion, then seasoned the chicken, and put everything in the crockpot on high for 4 hours. Easy peasy, and done in under 8 minutes. I made sure to get this in the crockpot before my busy day started, so when I got home it was almost done. This chicken recipe is a great one to prepare in bulk, have ready in your fridge throughout the week, and dress up multiple meals however you please -- top it on a salad; throw it in a casserole, soup, or omelette; heat it up with some rice/riced veggies; dress it with your favorite BBQ, buffalo/hot sauce, mustard, salsa; or make a chicken salad out of it. The possibilities are endless with this basic shredded chicken. Anyways though, since I had this incredibly simple chicken, I decided to find a delicious yet not too difficult vegetable recipe to pair with it. These balsamic brussels sprouts were exactly what I was looking for and they turned out tasting amazing! I will definitely be making these a lot moving forward. Last thing I will note is that I just threw a bunch of sweet potatoes in the oven to bake while I did various chores around the house. If you have a two-hour period at home, then why not throw some potatoes in the oven to bake and have ready for your week!? I just set a timer on my phone, so I'm reminded to get them out of the oven. There you go. A super simple and basic meal prep.

  3. Arrange the onions in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
