Okra smothered chicken and roasted cruciferous veggies

I love pairing a word like "cruciferous" with a word like "veggies."

Anyway....

I saw this easy-peasy chicken and okra dish on $5 Dinners and new I would toss it in my crockpot.  The artist behind the original dish browned her meat and used a dutch oven, but I just can't be bothered with any of that nonsense.

As for the veggies, we live and die by roasting.  I hadn't yet given Tom any roasted broccoli, but he declared he liked it even more than the cauliflower.  That's saying something.

Anyway, without further ado....

Crockpot smothered chicken with okra:
Ingredients:
1 bag seasoning mix or mixed peppers and onions
1 bag chopped okra
2 large chicken breasts
1 can rotel
dash of Chacheres
large squirt of sriracha

Layer in a crockpot like so: chicken, veggies, rotel, seasoning.  Set on low and cook 6-8 hours, depending on whether or not your chicken was defrosted.  Come back, shred chicken, eat!

Veggies:
1 crown broccoli
1 head cauliflower
1 glug oil
2 generous shake of Chacheres

Chop Chop.  Shake shake. Glug.

I think that's clear enough.

Mix around, spread on a baking sheet and roast at 400 for 20 minutes.
