    That greek chicken sounds great!
    Also, salsa chicken.

    2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
    1 cup salsa
    1 can cream of mushroom soup

    Cook on high for 4 hrs or on low for 6-8
    Delicious and low calorie! Best served on rice or just as an entree with anything else.

    ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BLOG!

    http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2009/01/crockpot-diet.html

    My personal fave of my own concoction: 1 whole cut up chicken (about 5lbs, skin if you like) 1 tall boy of any beer and 1 canister of Weber brand Beer Can Chicken, throw it all in the crock pot for 8 hours on low, drain and shred the meat, great on tacos, nachos, in eggs, very versatile!

    also you can register at BettyCrocker.com, it's FREE, you get emails with coupons and recipies and they have a great search engine, just type in "slow cooker" :-)

    ENJOY!

    I do the overnight oatmeal and I love it. I just make mine plain and add the fruit and nuts and seasonings per serving. It's great.
