Delicious slow cooker recipe....and only three ingredients...



Recommended Posts

Hi Rain, the pork chops sound good, but I made pork chops Sunday in sauce in the slow cooker and really got sick. I think they stuck even though I took small bites. Got the slimy thing. I have them in the fridge but am afraid to eat them.

i cant handle the heavy meats like steak and pork chops... i think i may just try that recipe with chicken or turkey:rolleyes2: i think it would be good

Honestly, I think it would also be awesome with chicken. Teriyaki chicken is one of my favorite foods.

2.5 lb bag of frozen chicken breast

1 lg can ro-tel tomatoes and green chiles

cook on low 8-10 hours

Shred the chicken in the juice and serve over rice. SO easy and good.

I tried this tonight, but I didn't put it in the slow cooker. I seasoned, then browned the chicken breasts in a skillet with canola oil. Put them all back in the pan and added the rotel and let it simmer about 30-45 minutes. The kids loved it! I ate the shredded up chicken and some tomatoes, but no rice for me yet. But it was really easy and good. Thanks!

This is my FAVE easy recipe. If I'm in a hurry, and know that I won't have time to cook dinner, I'll just grab a bag of frozen chicken breast, dump it in the crock pot, dump the ro-tel tomatoes over it, cook it all day, and VOILA! DINNER! The rice cooks fast while I'm shredding the chicken, and it's SO good.

Santa Fe chicken

I use about 3-4 already cooked frozen grilled chicken breast....just thaw them out enough to slice up.

1 can black Beans...drained

1 can corn....do not drain

1 cup salsa

mix all of this together and pour into crock pot, then add chicken. I usually add about 1/2 c. of Water just to give me a little extra liquid

Cook for 3 hrs. since your meat is already cooked you are basically just heating everything up really good.

Then add 1 block of fat free cream cheese and stir occassionally until melted.

This is so good and filling. You can serve over rice or just by itself.

Ok, I have this going in my crockpot right now, with the pork chops and a bag of frozen stir fry vegetables. It smells so good! I am just coming off of liquids after a fill and am not sure if I am going to be able to wait until dh gets home to eat dinner! He better hurry!

I made this last Saturday and it couldn't have been easier. It went down easily also:

Ingredients:

About 3 to 3 1/2 pounds of boneless pork loin (I get mine from Costco), and trim off any excess fat around the edge

3/4 of a bottle of Pace Salsa Verde

1 yellow onion, roughly chopped

About 1/4 cup of beef broth (I know we all have this around our house!)

Scatter the onions around the bottom of the slow cooker and place the pork on top. Pour the salsa verde on top of the pork. You may want to add additional seasonings such as chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, jalapenos, etc. I'll leave that to you to doctor up how you see fit. Cook on low for about 7 to 8 hours. When done, take the pork out and shred it with two forks. Then put the pork back into the slow cooker with the juices so that the pork can reabsorb the juices. The end result is very tender, soft, juicy pork that tastes like the shredded Mexican-style pork you get in restaurants.

This makes a ton of shredded pork, so decrease the amounts according to what you need. You can use the shredded pork in a number of ways, e.g. enchiladas, mixed up with scrambled eggs for a Mexican-style Breakfast, or how I've been eating it lately -- with a side of refried Beans. Yum.

I got this recipe from sparkpeople.com and it is just yummy!

I have even left out the sour cream before and it was still just as good. :crying:

INGREDIENTS

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup salsa

1 package reduced sodium taco seasoning

1 can reduced fat cream of mushroom Soup (condensed)

1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream

DIRECTIONS

Add chicken to slow cooker.

Sprinkle taco seasoning over chicken.

Pour salsa and Soup over chicken.

Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.

Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.

Serve with rice.

NOTES:

You may use half the packet of taco seasoning (I have started doing this to reduce sodium content myself)

Some slow cookers cook faster than others. Mine is a true slow cooker (have had it over 10 years.) The newer ones cook a bit faster and you may have to adjust your cooking time based on that!

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
