(someone at work pointed out that I like to say a lot of thing in twos - "good morning, good morning" or "hello, hello" - not really sure why? Just want to sound upbeat maybe?)
Since this blog post has no pictures - thought I would add one of Yosey =) |
I never want to "glorify busy" and make it seem like I am important because I am the busiest person in the world... but since I did start my Human Anatomy class and lab this week, I have been a little bit out of the loop - but hopefully I will find my groove soon and can get into a schedule.
Also, as you read this - I am probably in the air on my way to NYC for a work trip. Short trip, but get excited for some Central Park running pictures =)
I wanted to pop in today to share the easiest recipe in the world!
On Mondays and Tuesdays I will have about 10 minutes to eat dinner before my 6pm classes and I also want to be a good wife and have dinner for my hubby ... therefore, the crockpot will become a good friend! One of my favorite crockpot recipes is ....
SALSA CHICKEN
Ingredients- 1 big chicken breast or 2-3 small chicken breasts
- 1/2 a packet of taco seasoning (reduced sodium!)
- 1 can of black beans (reduced sodium and drained)
- 1 can green chilies
- 1 jar of your favorite salsa (Have an extra jar or a bigger jar for chips or to use if needed)
- Put your chicken breast into the crockpot and sprinkle the taco seasoning on all sides
- Pour in the black beans, chilies and salsa
- Stir the ingredients and make sure the chicken is completely covered and there is some liquid in the crockpot, if the chicken is not covered - add more salsa (or if you are going to have the crockpot on for more than 6 hours - add more salsa to insure it does not dry out)
- Turn the crockpot on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6 hours. (You can use frozen chicken too - but allow for extra time)
- Once the chicken is cooked, it should fall apart easily and shred it with 2 forks
You can make chicken tacos, big taco salads, or I have used it in casseroles too.
A tasty, easy casserole can be made as follows: take the cooked, warm, shredded chicken and put it into a 8 X 8 pan and then top the chicken with corn bread batter (Jiffy is the best!) - then bake the 8 X 8 pan according to the directions of the corn bread. Once the corn bread is cooked, you can dish it out! Yummm ....
Now it is your turn - help me out and share some of your favorite healthy crock pot recipes?!
I've got a few on my blog!
