Crock Pots are AWESOME -Recipes

CROCK POT - The Most Amazing Invention

I love the crock pot. I throw some protein in there and it's magic.

Chicken salsa
5 chicken breasts
1 can of tomatoes with green chilis
1 jar of salsa
(chopped green pepper or onions if you want)
 To taste:
Cayenne powder
chili powder
cumin
7 hours on low. 4-5 on high
Take out excess liquid
Shred the chicken

Under 200 cal for 4 oz serving

This chicken is great because you can eat it plain, throw it in corn tortillas with some avocado for a healthy taco, put it on salad, throw it in an omelet. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!

I ate this chicken for about 6 days - lunch and dinner. You can freeze part of it and use it later. That's what my mom does.

Pork Chili
2-3lbs of Pork Tenderloin (the big thing, not sliced)
3 cans of tomoatoes
3 cans of beans
1 onion
Chili powder to taste
Cumin to taste
Jalepenos for heat (if you want heat)
(any other veggies you want to throw in)
Turn the pork on with the tomatoes for about 4-5 hours on high. 7 hours on low
When the pork pulls apart, add the beans and leave it on low for another hour.

This serves about 8 people at under 400 cal/serving.
