Hi. Anyone have any healthy slow cooker recipes for me please? Mine usually include things like cream and wine... Hubby is finally trying to lose weight, so I want to help him as much as possible with nice, but healthy dinners. Also fed up of cooking, so would like to do large batches and into freezer - hence slow cooker.
Thanks.

    There have been a lot of posts about slow cookers in the past. If you click on search and type in slow cooker or crockpot you should see a lot of them.

    My current obsession:

    Lazy Chicken
    -frozen chicken pieces
    -a bottle of your favorite sauce/salad dressing

    Cook on low 8 hours, shred with a fork.

    I use a 4lb bag of boneless skinless breasts, this makes about a week's worth for me. I was using tomato/pasta sauces at first, and most recently I used a bobble of Catalina Lite dressing. It's delicious! The chicken came out so moist and flavorful. I'm thinking light Ranch next! :)

    For some reason EVERYTIME I slow cook the meat comes out dry... or the dish is like a soup. I would love to know of any foolproof recipes.

    Hands down the favorite in our house,

    1 Roaster chicken
    1/2 packet dry onion soup mix

    Cook on high about 5 hours or low about 10. Fall off the bone moist.

    My personal favorite & no fat

    4 or 5 boneless/skinnless chicken breasts
    1 jar of salsa

    Again cook about 5 hours on high or 10 on Low. Take a fork & shred the chicken like you would pulled pork.
