Got a great deal on chicken breasts (with bone) at grocery store and bought a bunch of packs! Need some quick delicious crockpot recipes for busy days.
 
Cook 3 breasts in one jar of salsa, shred...serve over rice and beans or make burritos.
Cook 3 breasts in Cream of Chicken soup, can of water and diced onion, one hour before serving shred chicken, add frozen peas and carrots and one can of biscuits cut into fourths.
I always use frozen chicken as it seems to get too dry with fresh. So I freeze the fresh chicken!
 
Cook the chicken in the crock pot, remove and shred, add a bottle of BBQ sauce and serve on buns (our version of pulled pork).

Put 1.5-2 lbs of chicken in the crock pot and add a can of black beans and a can of tomatoes with diced green chilis. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8. Remove chicken and shred, drain off excess liquid, return chicken to crock pot and add a jar of salsa con queso. I serve with with warm tortillas and a side salad. DD likes to eat hers like a dip with taco chips.
 

One of my easy favorites is to throw chicken in the crockpot with your favorite bottle of bbq sauce. Let it cook low on 6 hours or until the chicken is done. Then you can eat as is, or shred to make bbq chicken sandwiches.
 
Rachel, your recipes look fabulous! Especially the Teriyaki Chicken Bites - yum!
 
I have a 112 page chicken cookbook (with WW points) that I can email. PM me your email address and I'll send it to you in the morning.
 
I don't use bone-in chicken breasts but here are some of my faves.

chicken
2 cans diced or stewed tomatoes
italian seasonings to taste (or McCormick Italian Herb chicken for slow cookers packet)
cut up pepper, mushrooms and onions
put in crockpot over chicken, cook all day and serve over rice

chicken
1 jar salsa
1 can black beans (rinsed)
add 1 brick cream cheese for last 30 minutes


chicken
1 jar salsa
brown sugar
spicy mustard
Mix salsa, brown sugar and mustard together. (I don't measure, I go by taste so I would start off with a Tbsp of sugar and 1/4 tbsp of mustasrd and go from there).
Pour mixture over chicken; cook all day

When I make the last 2, I make alot and have it over rice the first night and then shred the chicken for either tacos or enchilada filling for another

We do BBQ chicken legs alot too. After they come out of the crockpot I throw them on the grill or pop them in the oven on broil.

When I don't have any meal planned, I just throw cut up chicken in the crockpot with 2 cans of cream soup and serve over egg noodles.
 
these all look yummy and easy...going to print out tomorrow at work!

I love chicken and the slow cooker! Here are some of my favorites. I've got more on my blog. Some of these use boneless, but I think they would work fine with bones too.

Oh and we must have posted at the same time, I hadn't seen yours when I went to post! :) I am looking forward to trying some of them, though!
 
Chicken Marsala. Put chicken in crockpot, add 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 can full(maybe a little less) of Marsala wine, a 1/2 chopped onion and cook all day. Add some sliced mushrooms about 2 hours before you want to eat. I serve with white rice.
