    i made this tonight... it smells good so I'm assuming it'll taste good when I eat it for lunch tomorrow!

    1 tbsp olive oil
    2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into large slices
    3 medium potatoes, cut in quarters
    ~2 cups broccoli, chopped
    ~2 cups cauliflower, chopped
    1 can condensed low fat cream of chicken soup
    1 soup can of skim milk
    spices: garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper

    heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan
    brown the chicken with the garlic and onion powders, salt and pepper (to desired amount)
    throw everything in the crockpot and cook on high for 2-3 hours.
    makes 4 servings.

    i put everything into the recipe calculator and it came out to roughly 276 calories per serving, 2g of fat, 22g protein. :)

    I created and made this today. Delish!!!!

    Tuscany meets Peru, in this Mushroom, Chicken & Quinoa Stew Created by Sarah Tracy – November, 2011

    In this heavenly and healthy crockpot stew, the flavors of Tuscany and South America collide. The stew is filled with hearty mushrooms, chicken and quinoa, decadently dressed up with touches of indulgent goat cheese, parmesan and pine nuts. This stew will help you feel full, fancy, and warm to the brim.

    ~5 servings ~350 calories per serving (~3 cups)

    All-day Crockpot ingredients
    Dried Porcini Mushrooms, ~4 oz – broken into small bite-size pieces
    One chicken breast or two thighs
    A ready chopped stew mix of carrots, celery and onion (~2-3 cups total); or chop your own
    Three cloves garlic, diced
    Cup of dry quinoa (I used red quinoa)
    Tbl butter
    Four-five cups chicken broth / water / water left from soaking mushrooms
    Seasoning: Salt and pepper to taste, several shakes of thyme, rosemary or oregano (or mix)

    Ingredients To just prior to eating
    2 Tbls. Goat Cheese
    2 Tbls. Pine Nuts, toasted
    1/4 cup Parmesan (freshly grated if available)
    Fresh Rosemary sprig (if available)

    Soak and rinse the quinoa (if you don’t, it has a slightly bitter taste)
    Soak and rinse the mushrooms (filter and keep the leftover water to add to soup)
    Add all the “crockpot” ingredients and cook at low for 8-10 hours; high for 4-5

    About 10 minutes before eating:
    Remove and shred the chicken; return to pot
    Add the goat cheese to pot and mix in
    Toast the Pine Nuts (e.g., toaster oven pan at 350 degrees for ~4 min)
    Grate the cheese

    When ready to eat
    Dish up and enjoy the heavenly comfort of this rich soup / stew
    Top with pine nuts, cheese and rosemary sprig
    Consider pairing it with a mixed greens and tomato salad and a crusty piece of bread

    Awesome! I'm always making this, so easy. It's a very sweet, very tender roast. Goes great with mashed potatoes.

    I'm interested in starting to cook with a crockpot. However, I don't have a lot of recipes...actually, I don't have any. I'm a fairly picky eater, but was wondering if anyone had any healthy crockpot recipes to share. If I had ideas, I could omit ingredients that I didn't care for and adjust as I felt was necessary.

    there is a website called "crockpot365.com". you may find something there

    I highly reccomend this book http://www.crock-pot.com/Product.aspx?cid=112&pid=7121

    So many things, appatizers, stews, beef, poultry, seafood, breads, desserts, drinks, pork, breakfasts, sides, dips, one pot meals, 5 ingrediants or less, light recipes, etc.

    I just threw this in today http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/mandasimba/view/fall-chicken-crock-pot-stew-170422 which is a variation of one of the stew recipes from the book.

    And oh my crock pot cakes are absoutly delicious!! They have one in there, a chocolate hazlenut pudding cake that is just to die for.
