One of our favorites is chicken with cream of mushroom soup

1 can of 98% Fat free cream of mushroom soup
4-6 chicken breasts (I cut mine up if they are too thick)
2-3 stalks of celery chopped chunky
1/2 package of fresh mushrooms
2-3 large carrots chopped chunky
1 can of whole potatos--i cut each one in half
Garlic Salt
Pepper
Cajun seasoning (i use this on everything--optional)

Put chicken in crockpot, add cut up veggies. Season with the
garlic salt, pepper, cajun spices. Add the whole can of cream
of mushroom soup. Cook on high at least 4 hours, I do 5.

An hour before it is done, I steam brown rice for 58 minutes in
my steamer.

The soup and the chicken make a yummy sauce that goes good
with the rice. So good!

    Taco chicken
    Chicken
    Peppers
    Onions
    Taco seasoning of choice (I use cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, cilantro, cayenne, pepper, salt)
    Salsa
    Cook on low for 6 hours.
    I put it in a tortilla with avocado, plain Greek yogurt, tomatoes, raw baby spinach (anything really that goes good with Taco food) and dinner is served!

    Sweet Glazed Asian Chicken
    20 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    Cooking spray
    1 cup pineapple juice
    2 tablespoons light brown sugar
    2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
    3 tablespoons water
    2 tablespoons cornstarch
    4 cups hot cooked rice
    3 tablespoons sliced green onions

    Preparation

    1. Sprinkle chicken with pepper and salt. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken to pan. Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Transfer chicken to a 4-quart electric slow cooker coated with cooking spray. Stir pineapple juice into drippings, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Remove from heat; stir in brown sugar and soy sauce. Pour juice mixture over chicken. Cover and cook on LOW for 2 1/2 hours.

    2. Transfer chicken to a serving platter with a slotted spoon. Increase heat to HIGH. Combine 3 tablespoons water and cornstarch in a small bowl; add to sauce in slow cooker, stirring with a whisk. Cook 2 minutes or until sauce thickens, stirring constantly with whisk.

    3. Place rice on each of 4 plates. Top with chicken breasts and sauce. Sprinkle each serving with green onions.

    Just made this recipe this past weekend and loved it! One of the easiest crock pot meals I've ever made and very healthy too! We served it over wild rice and it was delicious.

    Made this twice so far. Delicious and not bad Calorie wise.

    Slow Cooker Taco Soup

    So far I've made more "keepers" of that website than ones I'd never make again.

    I got this from another board on MFP. In the crockpot add a whole chicken, can be frozen, top with foil wrapped potatoes, cover and let cook on low for 6-8 hours. The chicken will let off some juices that you can use on your potatoes. So simple!

    Korean Style Ribs

    1.00 tbsp(s), Oil - Sesame
    0.50 cup(s), Low Sodium Soy Sauce
    0.50 cup(s), Sugars - Brown
    2.00 tbsp(s), Rice Vinegar
    2.00 tbsp(s), Ginger root - Raw, grated
    4.00 clove(s), Garlic - Raw, minced
    0.50 tsp(s), Crushed Red Chili Pepper Flakes

    2.00 - 3.00 lb(s), Pork Ribs (baby back have less fat, spare ribs have more)

    2.50 tbsp(s), Cornstarch
    2.00 tbsp(s), Water
    1.25 cup(s), Carrots - Raw, shredded

    3.0 whole, Green Onions - Raw, chopped
    1.00 tbsp(s), Seeds - Sesame seeds, whole, dried, toasted

    Combine first 7 ingredients. Pour over ribs in crockpot. Cook on Low for 6-8 hours (depending on your crock pot). Pour out sauce into a saucepan and skim fat. Combine water & cornstarch and then add to sauce. Boil, then simmer for 2 minutes. Add carrots to sauce. Serve ribs with sauce and top with green onions and sesame seeds. Goes well with brown rice.

    I'd like to try this one with beef short ribs, but they're pretty pricey. Pork ribs do the trick though! The leftover pork can be removed from the bone and shredded for some yummy lettuce wraps for a day 2 meal.

    Do you get the ribs cut Korean style?

    The meat market and supermarket I go to only carry standard rib cuts. I usually get the baby back or St. Louis cut ribs. Honestly, I've never searched out the actual Korean Kalbi style cut ribs. I'll have to make an effort to get some and see if the cut makes a difference to me. I think those are more like a country style rib. I'm just a big fan of the sauce's flavor, whatever cut it goes on. :)

    Salsa chicken - this is embarrassingly easy

    Boneless skinless chicken breasts, with a jar of any kind of salsa dumped on top. Cook on low for about 6 hours. The chicken will start to shred after 4 hours. This is great for tacos, quesadillas, etc., or good on rice or a salad.

    I got this from a friend and love it

    Apple Pot roast

    Ingredients:
    1 (3lb) boneless beef sirloin cut in half
    1 teaspoon of seasoned salt
    1teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
    1-2 apples quartered
    2 tablespoons of corn-starch
    1 cup of apple juice or water (or enough to cover)
    1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
    1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
    1 yellow onion
    2 tablespoons of cold water

    In a large non-stick skillet coated with non-stick spray, brown the roast on all sides. Transfer to a slow cooker. Add juice or water to the skillet to loosen brown bits, pour over roast. Add more water until covered. Sprinkle salt, soy sauce, Worcestershire and garlic powder. Top with apple and onion. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until meat is tender. (I also add potatoes, and carrots to the crockpot)
    Remove- strain liquid into saucepan. Bring to a boil- cook until reduced to 2 cups. Combine Cornstarch and cold-water stir; add to the saucepan until thickened.

    Hope you enjoy! We love having the leftovers too. It's a great meal when having company because it makes a lot, without taking too much time. I add in extra vegetables after a few hours, and they end up tasting really good.
