1gorgeousgodzilla 192 Posted August 13, 2013 I was told by my bariatic center to stay away from chicken breast and go towards skinless boneless chicken thighs - does the breast meat in the crock pot come out just as moist or should I stick to my thighs? Wait do they recommend the thighs or not? I typically buy boneless skinless thighs because breasts tend to be dry, but I'm just curious as you your center's rationale? I have a slow cooker balsamic recipe that's rather tasty. I typically used thighs but i guess it would work with breasts. 190 calories 26 gram of Protein per serving, and 4 net carbs. http://m.skinnyms.com/slow-cooker-balsamic-chicken/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I would certainly follow whatever rules your surgeon has in place. I get the idea that the thighs are moist but they are not as healthy as the white meat. I personally do NOT eat dark meat chicken, it has a much higher fat content. But that is just my preference. As I said. cooking the breasts this way makes them very moist and very post-op friendly. 1 MrsAnders reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adargie 159 Posted August 13, 2013 I have used boneless breasts a jar of salsa and a packet of taco seasoning, let it go about 6 hours. Then shred the chicken, its perfect for tacos for my husband and I just have to dress it up with some sour creme maybe cheese for myself 2 Mrsturbo and ACB1008 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

honib52 10 Posted August 14, 2013 I was sleeved July 16, 2013 and am now eating soft foods. I feel so blessed to be able to eat my favorite chicken. I made a chicken in the crockpot and I have been eating those roasted chickens from the grocery stores. I am also back at work and am needing easy recipes. These are some great ideas.
