Chickpea Curry

Chickpeas (or garbanzo beans) are an easy pantry staple that can quickly turn into a tasty curry in no time, offering protein rich options while being budget friendly! Make this dairy free crockpot recipe your next staple meal this year.

Chickpea curry made with yellow curry powder, coconut milk and red curry paste is a creamy vegan chickpea dish that features garlic and fresh-squeezed lemon juice as seasoning. Chili flakes provide some spicy heat while water is added to thicken up the sauce.

Chickpea curry makes an excellent meatless Monday or weeknight vegetarian dinner option, perfect for sopping up all that flavorful curry sauce. To speed things up further, dice onions and mince all aromatics like ginger or garlic before beginning so dinner can come together faster than expected!

Beef Stew

Beef stew is an all-year meal, yet particularly comforting on cooler autumn and winter evenings. This recipe requires minimal ingredients – perfect for use in the slow cooker! – making assembly a snap.

An essential step in creating an excellent beef stew is using meat with ample marbling, as this will produce a succulent, melt-in-your-mouth texture when simmered low and slow. Chuck roast is often recommended, though other cuts such as rump or bottom round work just as well.

Before placing the beef into your slow cooker, be sure to cover it in flour. This will season and thicken its broth while also adding flavor. While this step can be skipped if preferred, but your end result will likely not be as flavorful.

Tuscan Chicken

Tuscan chicken is an Italian-inspired dish featuring pan-roasted chicken covered in an herb-infused Parmesan sauce, served over spinach and mushrooms in a slow cooker version – ideal for busy weeknights and dairy free!

This budget-friendly dinner recipe uses only 9 ingredients to create an energizing one-skillet dish! Perfect for paleo, whole30 and dairy free diets alike – your whole family will absolutely adore this nutritious dinner recipe!

Simply swap out the mushrooms for vegan alternatives, and I highly suggest adding sauteed cauliflower steaks (or just roasting) as another vegetarian alternative to this Italian classic dish. Cauliflower provides an enjoyable taste experience and provides hearty bites without eating meat!

Start off right by prepping all your ingredients, so cooking goes more smoothly. Avoid stopping halfway and risk overcooking or undercooking chicken; make sure it reaches 165F before serving!

Chicken Pot Pie

Slow cooker chicken pot pie made with fresh vegetables, creamy cream of chicken soup and flaky biscuit topping is a delicious family dinner perfect for busy families with young children. Plus it can even be prepared and frozen ahead of time (minus potatoes, which don’t freeze well uncooked!).

This simple recipe calls for ingredients you likely already have on hand: chicken from a rotisserie chicken, carrots, celery, frozen peas and corn from your freezer and butter. Next step? Combine these with onions, flour and some milk or broth to create the thick sauce which coats chicken, vegetables and peas while providing flavor thanks to salt, pepper, thyme and turmeric – added at your discretion for flavor!

Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-7. 30 minutes before the cooking time has ended, remove and shred the chicken using two forks, before returning it to the crockpot with frozen peas and stirring in fresh green salad and warm buttery biscuit for an unforgettable comfort food dinner experience!
