Roasted Chicken in the Crock-Pot!
A whole cooked chicken is a great meal prep idea if you are looking for protein! …and, okay, I know that you can't beat the price of a Walmart rotisserie chicken, but I would always rather make my own! The control freak in me loves knowing exactly what's in it (and what's NOT in it). I normally slow roast my whole chicken in the oven, but this whole chicken made in the slow cooker is 100% set-it-and-forget-it! Assemble this the night before and stick the whole insert in the fridge until the next day, or make it in the morning!

Despite cooking at home and eating whole, clean foods, I started gaining weight, felt exhausted all the time, and—let’s be honest—I was mad at everyone!
I found myself visiting doctors often, desperate to feel healthy again.
Everything changed when I discovered the power of prioritizing protein at every meal and lifting heavy weights to build muscle! I finally feel like myself again!
