Summer Crock Pot Recipes
Two things are always on sale at the grocery store during the hot summer months. Boneless chicken breasts and in season fresh asparagus. Cooking these two ingredients together in the slow cooker accomplish a couple of things.
First off cooking in a slow cooker during the hot summer months avoids heating up the house by cooking on the stove or using the oven.
I don't know about where you live but it is scorching hot here in S. W. Florida. My ac unit can't keep up with the heat! My crock pot is a life saver during the hot summer months!
Secondly, you save money at the grocery store by buying ingredients when they are on sale and at their lowest prices.
Stock up when the prices are low to help keep the grocery store bill low! Buy boneless chicken in bulk and freeze it in meal size packages to use for other summer meals.

Recipe FAQS
What you season chicken with depends on your own tastes. A basic seasoning is salt and ground black pepper. If you want to add more flavor to chicken use seasoned salt, garlic or onion powder, fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme are all tasty ways you can season and add flavor when cooking chicken.
The entire length of an asparagus spear is edible but the bottom woody part of the spear is tough. The tough and often woody part at the bottom of fresh asparagus should be trimmed before cooking. This part doesn't have much flavor, and is very tough.
Recipe Expert Tips
- Chicken: My family likes white meat the best. You can use chicken thighs if you like.
- Seasoning chicken: salt and pepper is a standard seasoning. Omit the salt and use seasoned salt for more flavor.
- Shredded cheese: You can use cheddar, Swiss, Gouda or Parmesan cheese. Any cheese will be delicious.

I made this for dinner last night and it was great! Two things: First, the recipe didn't specify how much asparagus to use; I used an entire bunch. Second, it also doesn't say what to do with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese, so being a cook, I put it on top of the chicken when it was plated. Otherwise, it worked.

Glad you enjoyed the recipe. You can use as much asparagus as you like. The remaining 1/2 cup of cheese did go on at the end in the slow cooker to melt.
