Here's a Chicken Cacciatore recipe I found on my crock pot app:

3 chicken breasts (I use boneless, skinless)
1 tsp salt
1 dash pepper
1 Tablespoon onion flakes
1 green pepper chopped
1 teaspoon garlic minced
15 ounces canned tomatoes (I use Pomi in box or Eden organic to make sure I am not getting a can with BPA)
4 ounces sliced canned mushrooms, drained (I usuallly make without or use fresh)
2 tespoons tomato paste (buy in glass jar to avoid BPA)
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp thyme
1 onion chopped

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker, Add chicken to top
Cover and cook on low 7-9 hours (although my newer crockpot cooks a lot faster than that!)

Can serve with rice.

With 3 8 ounce breasts it is 286 calories per serving with 14 g carbs, 5 grams fat, 49 grams protein, 3 grams fiber, 7 grams sugar

When using the slow cooker, I suggest boneless skinless thighs. Once you trim them they are about the same calories as breast but they hold up a lot better in the slow cooker. Even if you don't like dark meat baked/roasted, the slow cooker dark meat is a completely different thing.

Putting the following into the crock pot tomorrow morning for dinner...

2 leeks, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
3/4lb yellow wax beans, cleaned and chopped
5 cloves garlic
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 tin no salt added diced tomatoes
12oz cooked turkey breast sausage
1 cup beef/chicken broth - no salt added
2 tsp oregano, dried
2 tsp montreal chicken spice (or cajun seasoning)
1 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2lb chicken meat (we have some leftovers so I'll add it in near the end), chopped
360g cooked shrimp (also added at the end)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Will toss everything in apart from the cilantro and chicken/shrimp. Cooking it on low 6-8 hours total and may end up thickening it with some cornstarch near the end. I'll let you know how it goes!

I have heard that chicken breasts plus a jar of salsa in the slow cooker = delicious and very easy taco/burrito filling. I haven't bought chicken breasts in a bit, though, so I have yet to try this myself.

I can tell you that 2 chicken breasts, 1 jar of your favorite salsa, and some shredded cheese in the slow cooker is DELICIOUS. My significant other requests it on a weekly basis. And the calories are pretty low, especially if you eat it without anything else.


Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great meal. And it makes your home smell absolutely delicious. Even my dogs walk around licking their chops!

Super easy: chicken breasts (or thighs as some people have suggested), 1 jar salsa, 1 can corn, 1 can black beans.
Use in a wrap, on baked tortilla chips, on a bed of lettuce, or by itself.
Yum!
