The article also mentions that the carb rich poratoes help protect immunce cells weakened by a hard run (study by ASU)

Seafood is high in zinc which studies show runners may not get enough of.

Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast, uncooked, frozen, boneless, skinless
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can 98% fat-free cream of chicken soup (feel free to use the cream of mushroom here instead)

1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope onion soup mix
Directions
1Place the frozen chicken in the bottom of a crockpot.
2Mix the other ingredients together in a separate bowl and pour it over the chicken.

I love it:) Very yummy !

I just made this for dinner last night and am having the leftovers for lunch today! it was VERY yummy! thank you!

This sounds amazing... just bought some sour cream, so it might be dinner tomorrow.

I tried the Salsa Chicken and came home to find that it had burned. This was the first time I have used my crock pot as I got it for Christmas, is there something I am missing?

Great thread! I have the smaller-size crockpot, so I'm not sure I could fit all the ingredients in for some of the suggested dishes, but I have certainly gained a renewed interest in my slow cooker.

My favorite crockpot recipe was an experiment that turned out great, and is now a regular meal in our house.

We call it "Chinese Chicken":
- 1 package of boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 8 pieces)
- 1 jar of dry garlic rib sauce (or honey garlic sauce)

Pour a bit of sauce on the bottom of the crockpot to coat, place all pieces of chicken in crockpot, pour the rest of the sauce over the meat. I leave mine on low for 8 hours, and if I am home, I will stir every few hours to prevent the tops of the chicken pieces from drying.

I serve with thai / jasmine rice. Or, if we're feeling super lazy, I'll pick up a package of chicken fried rice and a few egg rolls from the chinese food place on the way home from work.

Complementary side dishe suggestions: steamed broccoli, or apple slices (sounds strange, but a tart apple was a nice contrast).

White Chicken Chili (The best creamy chicken chili recipe I've found yet)

3-4 chicken breasts (appx. 1-1 1/2 lbs.)
1 pkg. McCormick's White Chicken Chili seasoning
1 can corn drained
1 can 98% fat-free cream of chicken soup
1 can Swanson Low-sodium chicken broth
1 can diced green chiles
2 cans white northern beans drained
1/2 c. light sour cream

Pour broth, soup, chiles, & seasoning in crockpot & mix together. Put chicken breasts in sauce & top w/corn beans. Cover & cook on low for 6-8 hrs (7 hrs gives best results). Break chicken breasts apart w/spoon, add sour cream & stir together. Enjoy =-D

This sounds amazing! Can't wait to try it. Have you ever figured the calorie count on it? I imagine it is pretty low cal, high protein, just wondering if you have already done the math?

We made our Thanksgiving turkey in the crock pot... well, our Thanksgiving Turkey Breast. Here's what we did:

Layer celery (chopped), onion (chopped) & baby carrots (or chopped carrots) on the bottom
Rubbed the turkey breast (it was about a 6-7 lb turkey) with some EVOO and a lil salt & pepper
Poured broth (low sodium) over it all (I think I used about 1 1/2 cans and that ended up being too much - I had to baste some of it out later!)
Cooked it on high for 7 hours then switched it up low until we ate


I tried this again later with pork chops & beef broth (to make gravy) and it was AMAZING!! The meat just fell apart!! I'm sure you could use a cream of mushroom or celery soup too instead of broth.

I love my crock pot - I'm not the greatest cook and it's hard to screw up dinner with my CP!! The only thing I lack is the planning to put it in before I go to work so I am DEF going to try freezing stuff in bags! Great idea!!! :bigsmile:

According to the recipe calculator on sparkrecipes.com, 1/6 of the recipe would be 299 calories per serving & 1/4 of the recipe would be 448 calories per serving (this would be a full bowl of the chili). Sorry, I'm not good at figuring out how much one cup would be. Hope this helps.

I purchased a pressure cooker. You can throw frozen meats in there and they cook in less than 1/2 hour and it will fall off the bone. I've made BBQ pulled pork. Shredded beef for enchiladas. The recipes are endless.

I love the chicken breat covered with salsa in the crockpot! It makes great Chicken Burritos! I love crockpot reciepes.

aam_84

Make sure you have enough salsa that the chicken is completely covered ( i use a whole jar!)... sometimes mine gets dark around the edge of the liquid but it still works out okay.

Hope this helps!
