Clean Eating---Crockpot recipes???

Bump.... I would like to know as well since I have a busy scedule.

Here is one from Skinnytaste.com. She has alot of good recipes. We really liked it. I had some left over and I drained the sauce from it and layered the filling over some corn tortillas with some green and red enchilada sauce and lowfat cheese. It was great!

Another great one is this Crock Pot Turkey White Bean Pumpkin Chili from Skinnytaste. You can't taste the pumpkin...it just makes the chili velvety smooth

try googling Wendy's Chili Recipe... we make it without the meat and by using stewed tomatoes instead of sauce... it's delicious and super easy for a busy schedule... the only prep is dicing onion and celery...yes, the pinto and kidney beans are canned...that's what makes is a 5 minute prep meal....I think it's the combo of chili powder and cumin that makes it so tasty.

THinking about eating more clean. My schedule is kind of crazy and am interested in some crockpot recipes so they will be ready by the time I get home.

I will most likely use brown rice or whole wheat pasta as part of my main dish.. but would like some recipes using fresh (or frozen if I have to) veggies & meats --with low sodium sauces or lots of spices.


Any or all recipes would be appreciated!!

Eat Clean Slow Cooker Recipe
Spicy Lemon-Turmeric Chicken and Vegetables
Serves: 6

* 1 tablespoon ground cumin
* 1 tablespoon paprika
* 1 tablespoons turmeric
* 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, plus more to taste
* 1 whole lemon
* One 3 1/2 pound free-range broiler/ fryer chicken skinned and trimmed of excess fat, rinsed and patted dry
* 1 large onion, chopped
* 5 cloves garlic, chopped
* 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
* 1 pound carrots, chopped
* 2 red bell peppers, chopped
* 1 can (14 ounces) fire roasted crushed tomatoes
* 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil


1. In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, paprika, turmeric, cayenne pepper and salt. Add the juice from one whole lemon (reserving the lemon rind) and mix well.

2. Using your hands, apply the spice mixture generously all over the inside and outside of the bird. Stuff the cavity of the chicken with half of the onions, half of the garlic and half of the cilantro.

3. Place the remaining onions, garlic and cilantro in the bottom of a 5 or 6-quart slow cooker. Add the carrots, bell pepper and crushed tomatoes. Stir in the extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt to taste. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables. Cover and cook on low for about 7 hours or on high for approximately 4 hours, or until the meat pulls easily away from the bones.

Serve warm.

Super Easy Crock Pot Meat

Ingredients:
4-6 Chicken Breasts (or pork tenderloin)
bag of baby carrots
20-30 small red or yellow potatoes
1 onion chopped (I like sweet or Vidalias)
1 green pepper chopped
1 package french onion soup mix

Directions:
1. Toss all ingredients into the crockpot and add enough water to cover meat (keep water level at least 1/4 inch from top to prevent overflow.)
2. Set crockpot on low.
3. Cook 6-8 hours on low or until meat is fully cooked.
4. Serve over brown rice.


You can also use a modified version of this to make pulled pork. Marinate the pork tenderloin overnight (or buy premarinated pork tenderloin.) Only add the pork tenderloin and the onion soup mix, plus two cups of water to the crockpot. Set the crockpot to low and cook 10-12 hours, flip meat halfway through (or as soon as you get home form work.) Check to make sure the pork is falling apart with a fork; if it isn't you need to let it cook a little longer. Drain water off the meat, pull the pork apart using forks and serve with your favorite BBQ sauce.

I made this today and it was OH.SO.GOOD!

Hassle-free Salsa Chipotle chicken

3 chicken breasts whole
Old El Paso hot salsa (650ml)
1/2 packet chipotle pepper Clubhouse Seasoning
5 pepperoncini peppers cut up
Cayenne pepper (optional)

Rub the seasoning all over the chicken and put on the bottom of the slow cooker. Dump the entire bottle of salsa over it. Cut up the peppers and put in. Add cayenne pepper if you like it hot. NO salt needed!
Keep on high for 4-5 hrs (mine got done in 4 hrs).
When its done cooking, tease the chicken out with a fork so that it shreds like fibres.This way the chicken will won't be all sauce on top and no taste underneath. No oil or butter needed! The whole thing is about 1000 calories and makes 5-6 serving or more!
