It’s finally feeling like mid-fall here on the east coast - crisp cool days, fleeces, warm drinks, blankets on the beds. November always kicks off my season of slow cookery. If you’ve been following the blog, you know I’ve got lots of slow cooker recipes from which to choose. From slow cooked steel cut oats to apple butter to tortilla soup, I’ve rolled up my sleeves and delved into the slow cooker world without fear.

Next to my crock pot and all the hassle-free dishes it produces, my other go-to meal is Potato Chip Chicken. Unless your entire family is vegan, it's safe to say, most people probably have chicken in their stocked fridge or freezer and some form of "potato chip" (healthy or otherwise) in their pantry.
