Crock Pot

Ok, I broke down and bought a new one yesterday since the one here ya have to wash by hand and I was NOT about to do that. Anyway... I need some good WLS friendly ideas. I know Brooke uses hers and she helped inspire me to get one since what I have seen looks so yummy. So please let me know what you make and the recepe. Thanks guys!

LOL! As soon as I saw your post I was thinking "cheesy chicken" but I'm sure you've seen me post that a zillion times.

I made Chicken N Dumplings last week. It was wonderful and the dumplings melted in your mouth.

I experimented but it turned out good.

1 large can of low fat cream of mushroom soup

2 small cans low fat cream of chicken

1 big can of skim milk ( fill the big soup can)

1 small can of water ( use the small soup can)

as many carrots and onions as you want ( I used regular carrots and sliced them in circles, and sliced the onion thick)

2 lbs of chicken breast ( uncooked and cubed)

1 can of biscuits ( I used pilsbury jr grands, but you can use any, just dont use flacky biscuits)

seasoning of your choice. ( I used lowery's season salt and pepper )

Add all the ingredients EXCEPT the BISCUITS into a crock pot or slow cooker. Set on low and let it cook 6 hours.....after 6 hours open the biscuits and cut each one into 4 pieces, then throw all the biscuits in the crock pot. Stir them in lightly and very quickly. then put the lid back on the crock pot and let it cook and additonal 1 hour., and enjoy. Do not take the lid off once you put the biscuits in. The biscuits(dumplings) should rise to the top and begin to turn brown.

You can really alter it anyway you want.....It is low fat and the dumplings are very soft and not gummy at all. It was really delish

I would love to hear about cheesy chicken in the crock pot!  If you don't want to post it, could you message it to me Brooke?????

Cheesy Chicken is.....

Boneless skinless breasts
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 can cheddar cheese soup
teaspoon of garlic powder

Put the chicken in the CP. Mix the soups first and then pour over chicken. Sprinkle the garlic powder last. Cook on low 8 hours.

I serve it over egg noodles but it's good without them too. Other people put broccoli in theirs too. And both soups come in low-fat too I believe.

I found the same cheesy chicken online about 3 yrs ago..

It is so yummy.. I have been able to find cans of Pepper Jack Cheese soup in the past and use that instead of the cheddar cheese soup...

This is good. A friend makes this with one of the 3 pound bags of frozen b/s breasts. She puts them in frozen in the morning covered with the soups and let's it crock all day. In the evening she shreds the chicken in the sauce and makes shredded chicken sandwiches for her family.

How much chicken do you use for this one?  Or how many breasts =)

I have a gihugic word document with tons of crock pot recipes in it.  They are not necessarily WLS friendly, but Janet adjusts many of them.  Since we both go to school full time, she crock pot cooks a lot.  PM me your email address and I will send them to you.

the thing I make most isn't nearly as yummy sounding as either of the other ones posted, but I make it all the time.

I just throw a couple pounds of chicked breast in the crock with a bottle of BBQ sauce (there is one at Stop & Shop that is VERY low in sugar) and let it cook on low for 4-6 hours.  Toward the end, just take a fork and shred it up, like pulled pork.

I keep it in the fridge, and can just take a scoop of it with a slice of cheese and some soy pita bread... quite nice.
