Easy Crock Pot Roast Chicken

With my busy schedule I need to be able to prepare meals that are quick, easy and tasty.  I'm sharing with you my favorite crock pot recipe.  My family absolutely loves this recipe.  Additionally since this recipe calls for a whole chicken, you'll have leftovers which can be used to make other dishes in the week. 
I hope you enjoy and if you have any questions, you can post here or email me at contact@busy-moms-tips.com.

3 - 4 lb. Roasting chicken

If you're always on the go like me, then a crock pot with an auto shut off is very helpful.  Listed below is a crock pot like mine and it works great.  You can set the timer for 4, 6, 8 or 10 hours.  Once the predetermined time has been met, the crock pot goes into warm mode.
