Here is a new heavenly recipes I came up with this weekend for the crock pot I call Lean Mean Green Chick - lean because it only has 3 grams of fat per serving, mean because it has a ton of garlic and a dash (or more if you like) of red pepper flakes, green because of the blend of kale and spinach and chick because the protein is chicken. This is going to be one of my favorites, I really loved it. And it’s easy too. (My meal plan calls for one lean & green meal a day, this is the first one I’ve created so far.)
Makes 7 servings, each 232 calories, 12 carbs, 36 grams of protein, 3 g fat. (determined from information on packaging).
Ingredients:
7 Perdue Perfect Portion chicken breasts (140 calories each)
1 can 98% fat free cream of chicken soup
4 celery stalks and 1 medium onion (chopped roughly)
1 20 oz bag of frozen spinach
2 10 oz boxes of frozen kale
Seasonings: Mrs Dash Original, red pepper flakes, 20 cloves of garlic chopped or smashed (approx. one head of garlic), fresh or dried basil and parsley.
Put soup on the bottom of the crock pot, top with chicken breasts, add celery and onion, sprinkle with seasonings and most of the garlic. Top with spinach - spinkle with seasonings and a little garlic, top with kale - sprinkle with seasonings and a last of the garlic. Cook on low for about 6 hours.
When finished, serve or place in freezer containers approximately two large spoonfuls of the veggies to the plate or container topped by a chicken breast. When done, add a spoonful or two of the broth on top.
This is a very filling dish and the added kick of the garlic and the mild heat of the red pepper help to curb the appetite too.
Health Benefits of Garlic - eliminates toxins from the body, helps lower cholesterol, aides in purging the body of harmful metals, and is a helpful antibiotic and anti-inflammatory agent. Also helps the body fight off colds and influenza if taken in the early stages.
