My absolute favorite way to make chicken in the crockpot is so easy that it's almost scary!

I put in three chicken breasts....and I throw them in frozen, straight from the bag at Sam's Club.....cover them with about a cup of my favorite salsa.....put the lid on, set it on low....VOILA....about 6-8 hours later, juicy, tender, flavorful salsa chicken!

Pre-band, I always served them with a sprinkling of grated cheese and a dollop of sour cream.....but they're certainly good without the extra fat.

Try chicken tenderloins with a can of cream of mushroom soup and a scoop of sour cream. Cook a couple hours. Great with rice or mashed potatoes. Jeean

I make a simple mild chili on the stove that could lend itself to a slow cooker.

1 lb. lean ground turkey (93%)
1 med- lg. onion
1-2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 cup chopped celery
1 green pepper, chopped
(any other veggies you want!)
1 or 2 cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can corn, drained, optional
tomato sauce (lower calorie choice) and/or tomato soup (tastier choice!)
chili powder, cumin, etc. to taste

Brown and crumble the meat, add the chopped veggies, saute them if you like. Throw in everything else. Simmer for a while.

My last batch, a cup had about 260 calories and was very satisfying.

Here's one my family loves, it's sort of a thick chicken soup/chili type.

3 frozen skinless chicken breasts
2 cans chili beans (I use one hot and one mild)
1 can black beans (drained)
1 can chicken broth
1 package taco seasoning
1 can tomatos with green chilis
1 can mexican corn (optional)

I put everything in a crock pot (chicken last). Submerge the chicken and cook it on low for 6-8 hours. The last 30 minuts I shred the chicken breasts.

I top with grated cheese and sour cream. My teenagers like it with crushed tortilla chips (I skip that part)

Crock-Pot Turkey Breast

1 turkey breast
1 can cranberry sauce

I do an easy chili on the stove. Brown turkey (I put it in frozen on low heat and spoon out the fatty stuff that cooks off of it--I use 93% turkey). I add pkg of Chili seasoning, 1 15 oz can tomato sauce, 1 can of kidney/pinto/black beans juice and all, 1 can chopped green chilis. I simmer for a while on low heat to mix the flavors, then before serving I sprinkle fat free (I like Kraft Free) shredded cheese on top to melt. Low fat, high protein, and very tasty!

Here is one of my favorites:
Guilt Free Chicken
1 pkg skinless boneless chicken breast (3-4 breast)
1 pkg dry onion soup mix
1 pkg Italian Salad dressing mix ( I like the zesty Italian)
1 jar pepperocini with juice
Spray crock pot with non-stick spray. Place chicken in crock pot. In a bowl combine dry soup mix and dry italian dressing. mix in juice from pepperocini. Pour mixture over chicken . Place whole pepperocini on top of chicken. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours. Chicken will be very tender. Remove pepperocini and set aside. Break chicken apart and let it absorb the sauce. (this happens immediately). serve on light wheat sandwich buns or with rice.

My family fav:
Beefy Onion

Cheap Steak in the bottom

My favorite crockpot chicken recipe is to take frozen chicken breasts right from the bag, drop them in the crockpot and cover with a can of green chili enchilada sauce. Turn on low for 6-8 hours. I like to shred the chicken and serve them in burritos with a little f/f sour cream or on top of a salad. Very good!

Since you used to use sour cream and cheese, why not try the fat free variety? Kraft Free shredded Cheddar or Mozarella is very good, and Breakstone I believe is one brand of fat free sour cream. You would still elminate the extra fat.
