The crock pot is so great. Throw all the ingredients together in the morning, forget it, and then when you return, you are greeted by that wonderful smell and relieved knowing that dinner is already done.
Here’s a recipe for those of you following Weight Watchers as well as those who love an easy-to-fix, healthy, family-favorite Mexican style dish that is full of flavor. (That’s pretty much everyone else right?)
If you are following Weight Wathchers, I highly recommend that you visit Gina who blogs at Skinnytaste.com and check out her mouthwatering Weight Watchers recipes. I found this Crock Pot Santa Fe Recipe over at her site and tried it yesterday.
I love how you place the chicken on top and after several hours take it out, shred it, and place it back in for the last 1/2 hour or so of cooking. Imagine the possibilities with this one healthy dish! Have this over rice, a shredded chicken taco, a chicken burrito, how about a chicken chili? The best part? It is so easy.
