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

• 16 oz Chicken Breast (boneless,skinless)
  
• 2 serving Taco Seasoning, Original
  
• 1 can KIDNEY Beans

• 8 oz Fat Free Cream cheese
  

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)

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....

Both of these sound YUMMY, now if you could just come over and cook them that would be great!! LOL. I have been ssooo lazy about cooking since the new baby. I'm tired:sleep:
