    We call this one "Chicken Slop" - I don't know why the gross name seems to intrigue my kids, but everyone likes it. You can serve it over egg noodles for those who can eat all the carbs they want (not me unfortunately!):

    1.25 lbs chicken breast, cubed
    Cream of chicken soup - Amy's Organic or other healthy option
    3 c. veggies of choice (chopped carrots, celery, peas, etc - fresh or a frozen bag of mixed veg works)
    Egg noodles - 1/2 lb

    Put everything but the egg noodles in the crock pot and set to low for 6 hours, or high for 3 hours. Boil up the noodles before serving and add to the crock pot, mix well.

    Makes 8 servings of approx 1 cup at ~380 cals per serving

    Rugged Bear...do you cook up the chicken first or do you throw it in the crockpot raw? Thank you!

    Chicken tacos- 2 cups chicken broth, 1 pound chicken breast and 1 package taco seasoning. Mix seasoning and broth in the crockpot and add chicken. I cook it on low while I'm at work (8-9 hours) and then I shred the chicken.

    Then, of course add to tacos with all the fixins. :-) Also great for taco salads.

    We do faux quesadilla nights, where we take super low-cal whole grain wraps, add some beans, some cooked diced chicken (with whatever spices we have on hand...usually cumin, some coriander, oregano, etc. or plain old taco seasoning), some 2% shreddy cheese, lightly sautéed onions/peppers, maybe some corn. Pile it all on top of each other. Top with avocado slices & salsa verde. If you feel adventurous one night, or over a sunday afternoon, I would recommend making your own salsa verde...it's easy & delicious, and you can cut a lot of sodium this way!

    I don't know if anyone has recommended this, and I'm not about to go through 9 pages to see, but check out http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/. The blog is "A Year of Slow Cooking", the author, Stepanie O'Dea, cooks a crockpot meal everyday for a year, and still updates with new recipes every once in a while. And yes, she does have kids and comments on their reaction to each meal.
