    A good trick so the chicken is not sitting in the grease is:
    1. set the chicken on balls of foil
    2. set the chicken on potatoes that are double wrapped in tinfoil (this way you have some baked potatoes too!!)

    HTH
    You can cook a whole chicken too. Just remove neck etc, wash and toss in the pot with whatever spices you desire. You get tender and jucy meat that is cheep and can be eaten and or added to other recipes.

    Are you kidding? This sounds super healthy and delicious! O.O 144 calories. That's under 300 for a big portion.
    And my chili recipe (will go up on Healthy Doesn't Mean Boring... at some point)

    Chili Con Carne - Very flavorful, but not overly spicy. Add more cayenne if you like to burn your mouth.



    Throw it all in the pot and cook on low for 8-10 hours (or your entire work day + commute. :bigsmile: )

    Ihave two very simple and very yummy:

    Salsa Beef or Chicken

    I either use about 4 chicken breast or more or a lean london broil. I add a cup of salsa and cook on low all day and walah!

    It's done!

    I use for taco meat, nachos or whatever....my kids just eat the meat plain it is soooooo goood. We prefer the beef but both are so easy and soooo yummy!


    The other is pulled pork -

    I put a lean pork roast in with enough BBQ sauce to cover it sometimes I will add a half of a beer, let it cook all day and you have yummy pulled pork. Low in calories and high in flavor...another favorite of the kids.

    I have more but these two are the best ever...trust me...I kow it sounds too good to be true! But it is true!

    My favorite breakfast. I substitute margarine for the butter, abd I add either an entire apple or a can (10.75 oz) of pumpkin puree to a double batch. This also freezes well!!

    Ingredients

    1 cup steel cut oats
    3 1/2 cups water
    1 cup peeled and chopped apple
    1/2 cup raisins
    2 tablespoons butter
    1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
    2 tablespoons brown sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Directions

    Place the steel cut oats, water, apple, raisins, butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla extract into a slow cooker, and stir to combine and dissolve the sugar. Cover the cooker, set to Low, and allow to cook 6 to 7 hours (for firm oats) or 8 hours (for softer texture).

    8 ounce package jambalaya rice mix

    One that I like to make that is really easy and not terribly unhealthy:

    Frozen Chicken Breasts
    Canned Black Beans, rinsed
    Salsa
    Frozen or canned corn

    Cook on low 5 hours. Place a brick of cream cheese (low or nonfat) on top and let cook another 30 mins. The chicken turns out really tender and makes great leftovers.

    If you do Facebook at all, look up Skinny Crock Pot. They have tons of GREAT recipes! I just made these two this week:


    Irish Lamb Stew

    Ingredients

    2 pounds boneless leg of lamb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
    1 3/4 pounds white potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
    3 large leeks, white part only, halved, washed (see Tip) and thinly sliced
    3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
    3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
    1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth
    2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    1/4 cup packed fresh parsley leaves, chopped

    Preparation

    Combine lamb, potatoes, leeks, carrots, celery, broth, thyme, salt and pepper in a 6-quart slow cooker; stir to combine. Put the lid on and cook on low until the lamb is fork-tender, about 8 hours. Stir in parsley before serving.
    (It's Delicious!! And the meat turns out SO tender!)


    Balsamic Chicken

    Ingredients:
    4-6 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
    2 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
    1 onion thinly sliced (Not chopped)
    4 garlic cloves
    1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
    2 tblsp olive oil
    1 tsp each: dried oregano,basil, and rosemary
    1/2 tsp thyme
    ground black pepper and salt to taste

    Preparation:

    Pour the olive oil on bottom of crock pot
    place in chicken breasts, salt and pepper each breast
    put sliced onion on top of chicken
    then put in all the dried herbs and garlic cloves
    pour in vinegar and top with tomatoes

    Cook on high 4 hours, serve over angel hair pasta.

    (this can also be slow-cooked over 8 hours. I added a bit more balsamic than called for, plus some fresh spinach under the onions and tomatoes, and it was wonderful!)

    Enjoy!

    Bumping for that lamb stew recipe!
