This could be my new favorite slow cooker meal. I made Chicken Primavera in the slow cooker today for the first time. I didn’t follow a recipe, I looked in my fridge and pantry and threw together what I had. Part of being frugal is being creative in the kitchen and making do with what you have. My husband and son are always my guinea pigs when I try new recipes and this was a hit with both of them.
