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!

      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.
