Cooking Chicken in a crockpot!

[tonemeup]

Hi,

Just incase you're interested here is a crock pot recipe that I got from another board. I have made it 10X's already and it's great.

Crockpot Sour Cream Salsa Chicken
Serves 4

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 pkg reduced sodium taco seasoning mix
1 cup salsa
2 TBL cornstarch
1/4 cup light sour cream

Spray crockpot with cooking spray. Add chicken breasts. Sprinkle with seasoning. Top with salsa. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. When ready remove chicken. Mix cornstarch with a small amount of water. Stir into salsa sauce. Stir in sour cream.

Note: I made this today and everyone LOVED it. I served it with bulgar wheat instead of rice and everyone liked that too (bulgar wheat has half the points of white rice and a lot more fiber). Also, I didn't have any taco seasoning so I found a recipe on the internet and used that instead. In case you are out of taco seasoning, here's that recipe:

Taco Bell Taco Seasoning
2 TBL flour
2 tsp chili powder
1 1/2 tsp dried minced onion
1 1/4 tsp salt (I only used 3/4 tsp as the above recipe calls for 'low sodium')
1 tsp paprika
3/4 tsp beef bullion
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp cayenne
1 dash onion powder


I have some more good ones if your are interested. Enjoy!

I'm going to try this tonight. Lately I have been just microwaving the stuff and choking it down. Might as well make it tasty

Thanks for the recipe

That sounds delish! Any idea of how many carbs will be in a serving from the cornstarch?

HI Mrs. P,

Well 1tbsp of cornstach has 7grams of carbs. So for the two tablespoons the recipe calls for, that's 14 grams. It may seem like a lot but don't forget that it's 2 tbsp for the whole recipe. I have even cooked it like this with 2 pounds of chicken breast(roughly 8 breast) only used the 2 tbsp of cournstarch and it was still very good. I have plenty more where these came from. If interested let me know.

Thanks...that's not too bad. And, yes, please, more!!! I get those 4 lb. bags of chicken breasts or tenders at Sam's Club and I've about had it with grilling them for a while. I alternate our meat mainly between that and lean ground beef. Although last night I used ground turkey breast and made meatballs cooked in chicken broth...they were pretty decent.
