    Kickin' Chicken Chili (Better Homes and Garden) *** It's already in the database***



    2 lbs. bonless skinless chicken breast halves, cut in 1 inch pieces

    2 tsp. ground cumin

    1/4 tsp. salt

    1 Tbsp. olive oil

    1 16-oz. jar of salsa (I used mild, but if you like more heat use medium or hot)

    1 16-oz. package frozen pepper stir-fry vegetables (yellow, green, red peppers, and onion)

    (I used fresh onions and peppers - yellow, orange, and red - don't like green)

    1 15-oz. can cannelini beans (white kidney beans)

    1 14.5-oz. can diced tomatoes with onion and garlic (a.k.a. Italian style)

    Sour Cream (optional)

    Cheddar Cheese (optional)



    1. In a large bowl, toss chicken with cumin and salt to coat. In a large skillet, cook chicken, half at a time, in hot oil over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain off fat. Place chicken in a 4- or 5- quart slow cooker. Stir in salsa, stir-fry vegetables, beans, and undrained tomatoes.

    2. Cover and cook on low heat setting for 4 to 5 hours or on high heat setting for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

    3. If desired, top with sour cream and cheese.



    Makes about 6- 8 - 1 1/2 cup servings (for me, 1 cup was plenty filling)



    Nutrition Info (1 1/2 cup serving size): 305 cal, 5 g fat (1 g sat. fat), 88 mg cholesterol, 914 mg sodium, 24 g carbohydrates, 6 g fiber, 41 g protein.

    the possibilitys are endless with a crock pot!
    It mostly depends on your taste.

    My current favorite (and the one my family sighs when they see me making AGAIN) is

    1 boneless pork roast (or loin, Costco has loins @99%fat free)
    1 large jar diced green chiles (or I like to use salsa verda sometimes too)

    cook around 4or5 hrs or until you can reach in and shredd with a fork or knife. (fix and forget kinda meal for sure)

    hubby likes street taco style : corn tortilla, lime, onion, and CALANTRO (most important in my oponion) & sour cream.

    I make taco salad style on top of lettuce with extra salsa verda.

    shredded pork is also great COLD and can be added to/put on almost anything. rice, bread, tortillas, salad, exc.

    Also :

    3or4 chicken breasts
    1/2c barbecue sauce
    cook until chicken shreds and put on hamburger buns (toasted) with cheese and pineapple. yummy. :wink:

    good luck.
