Get out that crockpot.... put 1 cup low sodium chicken broth on the bottom. Take a whole chicken ( which is on sale regularly) or around 3-4 lbs of chicken of your choice. Sprinkle a LITTLE Mrs. Dash spices on top. Then turn it on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3.5
Then you will have the most moist chicken for anything you wish. This is a great way to have your protein ready to eat anytime of the day too!
For those with picky eaters... ALL of my kids LOVED it!!
Whoever knew cooking can be so simple. I am in love with my crockpot this week!!
A few side dish ideas:
Veggies & greens
~ Green beans steamed ( melt butter & 1 clove of garlic then pour over grean beans when done & if you wish to sprinkle over a little bit of grated parmesan cheese)
~ A great Salad with spinach lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers and brocolli slaw w/ tsp low cal dressing
Carbs
~ Mashed sweet potatoes or potatoes ( 1/2 cup)
~ Steamed rice ( use broth & it's a little flavor too) Eat 1/2 cup
~ in the mood for Bread... 1 slice.....choose one with high fiber: Like Orowheat Double fiber
