Happy New Year’s Eve…it’s freakin cold!!!! (OK… I live in California… but I am cold!)
Today marks day 6 for my campaign to battle health issues. The cold and icky days are obstacles… so I am looking at winter as a game. An obstacle course for my ingenuity and creativity. Oh, I will win…
Today I am clearing out my freezer… fun…not… but I found a bunch of frozen chicken which helps my budget. I found a crockpot recipe for chicken that I adapted to meet my needs…
I have a sick hubby, a tight budget, & a waist line to shrink!!!! And I dont have to think about what to cook later!!!!
Here is what’s in my crockpot:
Crockpot Chicken and Tomato Soup
4 frozen skinless boneless chicken breast
1 tablespoons Italian Seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 cup water
114 oz. can diced tomatoes (no sugar added)
1 cup of low sodium low fat chicken broth
1 tablespoon concentrated tomato paste
1 cup left over spaghizza sauce
Sea Salt and pepper to taste
Put all the above ingredients into the crock-pot, cook for 9 hours on low. After 9 hours take two forks and shred the chicken, set the crock-pot on warm till ready to serve (making sure to taste it before serving to make sure there is enough salt and pepper)
I will add veggies like zucchini and green beans! This can be packaged up and re-frozen in small servings… yeah!!!!!

I am putting them in the last hour…. I read a recipe that put them in at the start, pulled half out, puréed them and added back in for thickener… may try that next time!
