"Santa Fe" Chicken Tacos
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (if frozen cook time is five hours if thawed cook time is three)
1 can black beans, drained
1 can corn, drained
1 cup of your favorite salsa (I use hot salsa but it can be mild or something fun like mango)
Layer in crockpot from bottom to top : corn, chicken, beans, salsa (I find this order keeps the chicken very moist). Cook on low for 3-5 hours depending on the chicken. Shred the chicken at the end of the time and mix, Careful! the chicken will be falling apart very easily at this point. Serve hot on tortillas with typical taco toppings or just by itself.
Thanks...I will have to try this.0 -

Through out my life, my mom would take whatever chicken she had (skin or no skin truly whatever) put it in the crockpot cover with a jar or two of store bought spaghetti sauce (we used cheap Del Monte or Hunts) and if she was feeling really frisky she would add diced onion and bellpepper. Do this in the morning, cook on low all day. Come home boil noodles or rice and top it with your chicken. It falls off the bone and is AMAZING.
Another go to what ever meat you like with bbq sauce (pork loin, chops, chicken, brisket, etc.). Put in crock and let it simmer all day. It will fall off the bone and be fork tender.0 -
Teriyaki Chicken
4-5 boneless, skinless Chicken breasts
1 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
Put chicken into slow cooker.
Mix all remaining ingredients together and pour over chicken.
Cook on low for 6 - 8 hours or high for 3 - 4 hours.
I like to add pineapple chunks during the last hour or so. If you'd like to thicken up your sauce mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with a little bit of soy sauce or pineapple juice until dissolved. Remove chicken from slow cooker, turn temp. to high, if it's not already, and stir mixture into sauce. Cover and let simmer about 10 minutes. Add chicken back to crock and mix to coat. Serve over brown rice.
Chicken and Rice (It's not exactly healthy though)
2-4 chicken breasts (fresh or frozen)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 block of cream cheese (cubed)
1 packet of Italian Dressing (Good Seasons brand)
1-2 cloves garlic (optional)
Cook on low for 4-6 hours (closer to 4, if fresh and 5 if frozen), or on high for about 3 hours (fresh). I add a bag of frozen corn during the last hour. Serve over brown rice or egg noodles. I've found it best to add the cream cheese and soup before everything else and let it soften a bit (to the point where you can stir it) before adding the rest of the ingredients, but it's not necessary. If it seems thicker than you'd like, you can add a couple tablespoons of sour cream in the last hour or so.
That sounds delicious!0 -

Salsa Chicken
Dump a jar of your favorite salsa over frozen chicken breasts and cook on high for about 4 hours. At this point, you can drain the extra liquid and the end result will be the consistently of a chicken salad sandwhich spread or if you keep the liquid, it will be more like a dip. (I drain, but my friend who also uses this recipe says the only way to do it is dip style)
Now stir in a package of fat free cream cheese and cook on low for another hour or two. Other things I add at this point are green chiles, black beans, and corn. But this is all to personal taste - although,the black beans add great extra nutrition!
As long as you use fat free cream cheese this a great healthy and lower calorie dinner or lunch. You can eat it by itself or in a high fiber wrap, sandwhich, lettuce wrap, or salad.0 -
I like take a pork tenderloin, cover it with a mixture of brown sugar (or molasses), onions, garlic, red wine, balsamic vinegar, seasoned salt and pepper. cook on low for about 6 - 8 hours. Shred with forks, and serve on big hamburger buns with some brie cheese melted on it. Sooo good.0

I was at the grocery store recently and saw jalapeno cream cheese... Hmm.
So I took the salsa chicken recipe (1 jar salsa, 1 packet taco seasoning, lime juice, chopped cilantro, chicken breasts, high for ~4 hrs, shred with two forks) and added half a container of the jalapeno cream cheese to it 30 minutes before it was done.

My pleasure! If you're at all sensitive to spice, I recommend using mild salsa and taco seasoning if you plan on using the jalapeno cream cheese. It adds quite a wallop!0 -
Is Mojo sauce really hot or spicy? My stomach doesn't tolerate those. But I desire a lot of flavor?0

Boneless, skinless chicken, 1-2 lbs
Crushed tomatoes, large can
Chipotle peppers in adobo, as many as you like
Chili powder
Cumin
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4. Shred and serve with almost anything. It's always a hit! (You can do the same with cheap cuts of beef. Good stuff!)0
