Crock Pot Spicy Chicken Broccoli Slaw

I made this a few days ago and I have more cooking in the crock pot as I type this blog entry. It's cold and snowy outside today, so this is the perfect dish for dinner. Super easy to make, super yummy and who doesn't love a good crock pot recipe?

Ingredients Needed:
2 Cans of Mild Diced Tomatoes & Chilies (do NOT drain your juice)
1 Yellow Onion - Chopped (I did big chunks)
2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (I used frozen)
McCormick Mesquite Seasoning
Less Sodium Soy Sauce (amount used is based on preference, I used about 1 tablespoon)
1 Tablespoon Earth Balance Butter
1 12 oz bag of Broccoli Slaw

Ready?

Chop your onion, I did big chunks. Pour 2 cans of tomatoes & chilies (juice included) in crock pot, top with your chopped onion. Place frozen boneless skinless chicken breast on top. I did not use a specific amount of mesquite seasoning, just enough to cover my chicken. The juice from the tomatoes and chilies makes this :almost: soup like. Not quite a soup, but juicy. Ah yummy. (although I'm sure you could add a can of broth to make this soup)

Cook on high for 4 hours, stir occasionally. After 3 hours I used two forks to start shredding my chicken. Once shredded, add your bag of broccoli slaw, tablespoon of butter and tablespoon of soy sauce. Let cook for remaining hour.

Done. I think this would also taste really good with maybe some corn and black beans added to it. So delish! I hope you enjoy as much as I did! :)

Healthy Spicy Chicken Stir-Fry

I've done it again. I came up with a new recipe and I LOVE it! Hope you do too! It's super easy to make and very yummy! 

 Ingredients Needed:

Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast - thawed, if using frozen (I used about a pound)

1 12 oz Bag of Broccoli Slaw

1 Package of Sliced Mushrooms (forgot to take a picture, but any kind of mushrooms will work)

2 Yellow Onions - Chopped

1 Clove of Garlic - Minced

Less Sodium Soy Sauce (amount used is based on preference. I used about a tablespoon)

McCormick Mesquite Seasoning (optional if you want spicy stir-fry)

1 Tablespoon of Earth Balance Butter (or whatever butter you would like)

Ready to Cook?

Cut your chicken into bite size pieces and cook on medium heat. While your chicken is cooking, chop your onion and mince your garlic. Here is a helpful tutorial on how to peel garlic, if you aren't sure how. Once your chicken is done cooking, set it aside. Now you are going to saute your mushrooms, onion, garlic and broccoli slaw with your 1 tablespoon of Earth Balance Butter (or whatever butter you use). After about 3 minutes add your soy sauce and mix. Then you are going to add your chicken and McCormick Mesquite Seasoning. I used about a half of package, it really depends on how spicy you would like it! Mix well and let it cook for about 3-5 minutes.

You're ready to eat! 

Yummy Yummy!! This is really good with grape tomatoes on the side!
Hope you enjoy as much as I did! :)

Bowl Full of Yumminess

I honestly can't come up with a name for this dish. So a Bowl Full of Yumminess it shall be. My husband is stationed in Turkey right now and that's the only way I can get away with cooking like this. He's not a fan of mushrooms.

I don't have exact measurements for this dish. I literally just made it up as I went along. I can tell you that I used:

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast.
1 yellow onion.
Sliced Mushrooms - as many as you would like
1 bag of frozen corn - thawed
Cabbage - as much as you would like, cut into smaller pieces
Spinach Leaves - as much as you would like, cut into smaller pieces
Soy Sauce
Mesquite Seasoning - optional
Grape Tomatoes - optional

Cut chicken into bite size pieces and cook in skillet until done.
In a separate skillet, saute your mushrooms and onion in some soy sauce. Amount of soy sauce used is however much you would like. I used maybe 2 tablespoons. Once that is done, add your cabbage, spinach and corn. If you want, add a bit more soy sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring so there is no sticking.
Then add your chicken and sprinkle some mesquite seasoning and mix well. The mesquite seasoning is optional, I like to use it to add a little spice. And you may notice from my other recipes, that's one of my favorite spices! :)

After that, you're done. It's such a simple dish that's easy to add or take away ingredients, you can experiment and make it your own. :)

I added the grape tomatoes on the side, taste great with the Bowl Full of Yumminess!

Hope you enjoy! :)
