Crockpot Mexican Chicken Recipe



Recommended Posts

Hiya,

I posted this on another thread and received a message for the recipe as well, so I thought I would post this recipe for anyone else who was interested:

Crockpot Mexican chicken

Put some salsa in the bottom of the crockpot. Add 2 chicken breasts and sprinkle taco seasoning on them (repeat for the additional layers of chicken). Soften the cream cheese and stir with the remaining salsa and pour over the chicken. Put chili Beans on top. Cook on low for 8 hours.

(Serves 4)

Enjoy, from your bandster friend Karen who is still continuing to find different ways to cook a chicken :Banane20:!!

I don't know what the heck is wrong with me---I thought Beans were completely GROSS before getting the band! Now I can't get enough of them LOL!

I have a great QUICK 2-bean chili recipe that I can post too if anyone is interested :-)!

I am so excited to see this thread! I have been collecting crockpot recipes for about a month now, and crock cooking almost every day since.

I was wondering if all these great recipes would go to waste if I get the lapband, and now I see that they won't if I modify some a bit. I can share a lot of great recipes if anyone wants them!

That is a good meal...I used to make that before surgery, but I'd add a cup or two of rice in the bottom...the rice would soak up the salsa and would be awesome....although after the surgery, I'm not sure how the rice would go over...I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard that people have trouble eating rice after the band....

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
