I love my crockpot!!! Here is the easiest low fat BBQ chicken recipe. 3 ingredients!

Shredded BBQ Chicken

2 pounds boneless chicken breast (I use 1 package of Tyson which is about 2 lbs)
1 (18 oz) of your favorite BBQ sauce - I like Sweet Baby Rays
1/2 onion chopped

Combine into crockpot on low for 6 hours. After about 6 hours, you should be able to easily shred the chicken. Then let cook for another 1-2 hours on low, or until chicken is nice and tender.

This is great on a low carb wrap, bun, or even just plain. Add a veggie and you have a great meal.

****There are also low sugar and light BBQ sauce options.

***This recipe can be doubled. I make a huge batch on the weekend to have easy dinners ready, and then I freeze the extras.

Enjoy!

That's what I'm talking about lol. Easy!!

Clean Eating Slow Cooker Pineapple Chicken

(Makes 4 servings)


Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1 (12 ounce) jar of your favorite clean salsa
4 small raw zucchini, halved, quartered, then sliced (shredding works too)
1/4 medium, fresh pineapple


Directions:
1.Turn on slow cooker to the low setting and put in the chicken and salsa. Cook for about 4-6 hours. Slow cookers vary, so base the time on that. The chicken should fall apart easily when finished.
2.Shred the chicken using two forks and mix in your raw zucchini and fresh pineapple.

Nutritional Content:
(Data is for 1/4 of the recipe)

Please note: I was surprised to find that this dish was so high in sodium. Most of the sodium in this recipe comes from the salsa. If this is an issue for you, find a clean, low sodium salsa and this will magically become a lower sodium dish!

Go to allrecipes.com its just fab loads of different ideas,crockpot best invention ever!!!
THinking about eating more clean. My schedule is kind of crazy and am interested in some crockpot recipes so they will be ready by the time I get home.

I will most likely use brown rice or whole wheat pasta as part of my main dish.. but would like some recipes using fresh (or frozen if I have to) veggies & meats --with low sodium sauces or lots of spices.


Any or all recipes would be appreciated!!

Crockpot Green Lentils, Bacon, Carrots, and Red Onion soup

500g of green lentils
200 g bacon lardons (pieces) cooked well and drained
500 ml chicken stock and water to cover all
1 red onion chopped
8 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp celery salt
black pepper to taste
1 tsp red pepper flakes
a few dashes tabasco
2 tsp cumin powder

This fills my whole crockpot, and I do have to add water but I cooked it on high in about 3 hrs. I smashed some of it with a potato smasher before it was done. It sort of reminds me of split pea soup. It is around 300 kcal per cup I think.

I'm making vegetable soup today. Easy to make.

A big can of V8 Juice.
Then cut up celery, carrots, onions, red potato...I also put a bell pepper and sweet peppers in mine today. Minimum items, cheap to make, and delicious! I put mine on about 11:00, 11:30 and it should be done by 6pm tonight.
