Crock-Pot Honey Mustard Chicken & Roasted Potatoes

If you are looking for something simple, easy, and scrumptious to make for dinner, this is it. These chicken and potatoes each only have 5 ingredients! Pop a whole chicken in the slow cooker before work, potatoes in the oven when you get home, and by the time you have changed and relaxed for a bit, dinner is ready. 

My Mom used to make these potatoes all the time when I was a kid and I loved them. After everyone had eaten their fill and Mom was doing the dishes, I'd pick all of the burnt bits from the pan and eat them. They are so simple, but are still my all time favorite way to eat potatoes.
