When I cook, I'm the type who likes to kill two birds with one stone. I make my favorites in big batches so I have them handy whenever I'm pressed for time and need a tasty meal. That's the case with these two chicken recipes. I make them in big batches and use them in everything from chicken noodle soup to barbecue chicken sandwiches. The best part about it is that they require almost no effort. All you have to do is assemble the ingredients, throw them in, and let the slow cooker do all the work.
