    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?

    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.

    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!

    I am making beef stew in the crock pot tonight - carrot, onion, potato, peas or corn, and some lean sliced steak. 1 box of low sodium beef broth and cook on low for 5 hrs.

    I've got a turkey ham in my crockpot today, along with some green beans. Not great if you are watching your sodium though!

    Oooo, nice thread!

    Here are my fav slow cooking combos:

    1 lg potato, 1 head of cauliflower, 1 leek, nutmeg and white peppercorn

    1/2 pumpkin, 1 lg sweet potato, stir in a can of whole tomatoes at the end, and cinnamon and ground cloves

    2 c of dry chickpeas (then soaked), 1 lg eggplant, 2 stalks of celery, 4 tomatoes, cumin and paprika

    I just cut it all up in chunks, putting in heaviest first, and top it off with filtered water. I add the spices and herbs only at the very end of cooking (about 8-10 hrs). When it is done and begins to cool, I blend it all right in the pot with a hand blender.

    Oh, and just in case, I learned the hard way that garlic does not take well to slow cooking and, if added, should be sauteéd and added only at the end.

    Ok, so I just discovered this one & it is awesome.

    Crockpot cheesy scallped potatoes & "ham"

    6-8 medium idaho potatoes, sliced thin
    1 1/2 lbs. turkey ham (or regular if you like), cubed
    Can cheddar cheese soup
    1 c. lowfat shredded cheese (I used cheddar jack)
    Medium onion, chopped

    After cutting everything up, place half the onion & potatoes in the crockpot. Sprinkle w/pepper & garlic powder, then cover w/half the shredded cheese. Layer the rest of the potatoes & onion & season w/some more pepper & garlic powder. Pour entire can of cheese soup on top & spread out, then cover w/the rest of the shredded cheese. Cook on low for 8 hours & enjoy.

    PS: This recipe tastes even better the next day warmed up.

    not sure if anything similar to this has already been posted but this is a fave of mine for my slowcooker

    cubed lamb
    tin of chopped tomatos
    4 cloves of garlic
    chopped peppers
    chopped red onion (i use a lot of onion and pepper to bulk it out)
    some salt and pepper
    a squirt of sweet chilli sauce

    i call it spanish stew...no idea why! it just seemed to stick in my head when i made it!
    i dont brown the meat or anthing, just bung it all in, make sure the meats covered well with the sauce. i only cook it for 6 hours but thats cause my slow cooker seems to heat up quite a bit even on the low setting. and i serve it with brown rice
