I was looking for a new recipe to throw in my slow cooker when I stumbled onto this recipe over at Skinny Taste. I had all the ingredients on hand, so I figured I’d try it. It looked simple {it was}, it looked delicious {it was} and it looked like something my whole family would love {they did}. I made it for dinner the other night and it was an instant hit. Seriously put this on your menu for the week!

Ingredients

1 1/2- 2 lbs chicken breast
1 can {14.4 oz} diced tomatoes with mild green chilies
1 can {15 oz} can black beans
8 oz frozen corn
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high 4-6. Before serving, remove chicken, shred and place back in Crock Pot.

Serve over rice or wrap in tortillas. You can top with cheese, sour cream, fresh cilantro, salsa, green onions or anything your little heart desires. Enjoy.

My friend JJ can cook a mean, well, anything really. I’m always trying {and loving} her recipes. So when I saw this one {which she technically found in a book about Casey Jones, of all places}, and she raved all about it and about how her children were begging and harassing her to remake it daily, I knew I had to put it on my list. And those kids have some taste buds I agree with. It was awesome. Every last spoonful of it!

Ingredients

6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
1 pound of ground beef
1 large onions, diced
1 pound dried red beans, cooked
1 cup crushed pineapple
1 cup brown sugar, gently packed
1 quart of tomato sauce
1 tablespoon brown spicy mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon of vinegar

Directions

In a large skillet, fry bacon until crispy, drain and set aside. Leaving the bacon grease in the pan, add the ground beef and onions and cook until meat is browned.

Throw all ingredients into a slow cooker. Cook on low for 4 hours. Enjoy!

This recipe rocks! Oh, and it’s good for you too. 🙂

It will take you longer to get your crock pot out of the cupboard than it will for you to put this recipe together. And it’s good. Really, really good. Did I mention it’s easy? Yep, it is. All you need are a few chicken breasts, a bottle of Italian dressing and handful of Parmesan cheese and you’ve got dinner made in about 30 seconds flat.

Ingredients

4 chicken boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into chunks {I use Zaycon chicken}
1 16 ounce bottle Italian Dressing
1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese, shredded

Directions

Place chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker and pour dressing over the chicken. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and cook for 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high. Serve over a cooked noodles or rice {and a little extra sauce from the slow cooker}.

How easy was that? Seriously, this is good!!!
