Crockpot healthy meals.,

[exercise forever]

Hi ladies,

Just got a crockpot the other week and I really want some easy,healthy recipes that all I have to do is throw in the ingredients and let it cook all day. I will be getting groceries tomorrow and I want to get stuff that is healthy. So if you have some recipes that you like please send some my way.


Also if there are spices and herbs you use I would like to start seasoning my food with different ones.

Hi! Here's one I made last night that I only make occasionally, and I'm reminded every time how good it is. It only takes a few minutes to throw together. I served it with a Smashed Potato and Broccoli casserole from Cooking Light and a mixture of roasted veggies.

East-West Barbecued Chicken

6-8 boneless chicken breast halves
1/3 cup catsup
1/3 cup orange marmalade
2 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp fresh minced ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
2 drops liquid hot pepper sauce

Place chicken in crockpot. In small bowl, combine remaining ingredients and pour over chicken. Cover; cook on Low 7-9 hours or High 3-5 hours.

I find that the shorter cooking times work best in my crock pot. Also, the sauce makes a liquid that can be strained and served over the chicken breasts. I sometimes shred any leftover chicken and mix it with the juices to make sandwiches.

Ally, I've saved that one in my files. Sounds yummy.

Meals.com, allrecipes.com have some good recipes, do a search for crockpot recipes. You can always clean up a recipe.

When I was eating animal protein my fav crockpot meal was putting in a whole chicken on top of veggies: potatoes, carrots, celery or whatever you like, a little salt and pepper and I'd cook it on low about 8 hours or so.......Carole
