    this is delicious. i have made it
    Check out http://www.skinnytaste.com/search/label/Crock Pot Recipes

    The Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken is particularly good and I prep it ahead of time and throw it in the freezer - then when I want to have it I just defrost and throw the contents in the crockpot! Easy Peasy!! :) One note though - if you are away from home a long time I would recommend substituting chicken thighs for chicken breast - the breast really dries out - even being submerged in liquid! And the calorie difference is negligible (less than 40 calories per serving of chicken).

    Edited for spelling error! :)

    what kind of timer did you buy? often I have to be away from home for 8 hrs but the recipe only needs 5-6 hrs in the crockpot...would love a timer but not sure where to buy or how it works... thx.

    I also use a site called food.com because all of the recipes there include the nutritional breakdown - including calories. It's a free site, and you can look things up like, "Low calorie crock pot meals," or "weight watchers" or whatever. I've actually found a lot of yummy, healthy stuff there! :wink:

    Super Easy Chicken
    4-5 Frozen skinless boneless chicken breast
    1 package dry italian dressing mix
    1 cup warm water or fat free chicken broth

    place chicken in bottom of crockpot, sprinkle dressing mix over chicken then pour water or broth over chicken. Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours.

    ---You can put whole chicken and turkey in frozen or thawed without precooking. But ground meat will not cook through in a crockpot you need to at least "grey" the meat, cook it thru.
