Truth time! This dish is the product of my third attempt at making a crockpot meal. ♀️ The first dish I attempted had to be thrown out completely due to an expired chicken broth (eww), and the second meal I attempted sat uncooked all night because I didn’t fully plug in the crock pot! This was my last-ditch effort and I couldn’t be more glad that the other two meals didn’t work out, because this one is super easy and delicious!
