Chicken Cassoulet Crockpot Meal

1/9/15

Alright so before you go out and make this meal, I want you to know it is a little bland.

Of course you can add seasoning to get it more flavor. Since its a clean/healthy recipe, I would say to use Mrs. Dash seasonings. They are packed with flavor but they have NO SALT added to them!! Its a win, win!!

Ingredients:
  • 1 can of black beans
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • Sea salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 2/3 cups low sodium chicken stock
  • 1 medium onion
  • 4 celery stalks
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1/4 cup of sundried tomatoes, not packed in oil (try to find on in a resealable bag)
  • 3 large carrots
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil
  • 1tsp thyme
  • 2 tbsp fresh minced parsley



This meal takes a little longer prep time! It takes 15-30 minutes to get everything prepped
Directions:
  • Rinse and drain black beans. Put half of the beans in the bottom of the crockpot.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper, put in a frying pan with olive oil until the chicken is browned. Put the chicken on top of the black beans. Put the remaining black beans on top of the chicken and put in chicken broth
  • In the frying pan you just used for the chicken, saute onion, celery, garlic, sundried tomatoes, carrots, basil, thyme and parsley.
  • Spread the mixture on time of the chicken. 
  • Let it cook on low for 6-8 hours




    Eat & Enjoy!

Chicken Spinach Crock Pot Meal

1/5/15

This meal is probably one of the easiest meals you will ever make!!


I wanted to do a weeks worth of crock pot meals, because I really dont like cooking. I figured there has to be other women out there who really dont like to cook either, or maybe they just dont have enough time in their day to make healthy, delicious meals.
So if this sounds like you, keep reading because this weeks meals are for YOU!!!


Ingredients:

  • 1 piece of boneless chicken breast, per person in your family. (We cooked for 4 people, so there were 4 pieces of chicken.
  • 1 bag of frozen spinach 
  • 1 jar of clean marinara sauce (READ the ingredients, if you cant pronounce the ingredients, put it back on the shelf, find a marinara sauce that you can pronounce all the ingredients)
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes (we used 2 cans because we really like tomatoes)

Directions:

Put the 4 ingredients into a 5 quart crock pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours. 


***I am in love with hot spicy things! So to add a little flavor, I put crushed red peppers on top of mine!!!

EAT & ENJOY!!
