Low Fat Crock Pot Recipes

Today I am going to share two of my favorite low fat crock pot recipes. I love using the crock pot even if it means I have to clean it later. I know there are crock pot liners but I can never find them in the grocery store. Now that the school year is on its way I will need a supply since I rely on my crock pot to feed my family several times a week. Due to that reliance I have to make sure what I am making is healthy.

Salsa Chicken

My children love this meal. I use the leftovers for tacos or fajitas. You could try using the leftovers for quesadillas as well.

Ingredients:

5 Chicken Breasts (I always purchase hormone free and trim it or cut into strips.)

1 (16 oz) jar of mild salsa (I purchase whatever is on sale.)

½ package of taco seasoning

You can add in rice now or make it later.

Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.

Salsa Chicken is so simple and versatile. I know you will find a million ways to make this basic recipe your own.

Italian Chicken

My kids enjoy this meal as well. This is another basic recipe you can make your own. I use it on noodles if I have any leftover chicken. You can also use the leftover chicken in other pasta meals.

Ingredients:

5 chicken breasts

1 package Italian dressing mix

¼ cup water

1 (8 oz) low fat cream cheese (you can use non fat as well)

1 can low fat cream of chicken soup

3 cups white rice or use noodles (you can add the rice to the crock pot but you will need to add extra water)

Directions:

Put the chicken in the crock pot and top with water and salad dressing mix.

Mix cream cheese and cream of chicken soup then add to crock pot.
