Mango Salsa Chicken
I'm sure this works with any salsa, but I use the Peach/Mango Salsa from Costco.
6 Chicken Breasts
1/2 container Salsa
Put in the crock pot on low for 6 hrs. or high for 3-4 hours. Then shred up the chicken and put it in whole wheat tortillas. I like a little bit of light sour cream in mine and my family puts cheese in theirs--but I try to stay away from the cheese.
Fruit Smoothie
1 c. skim milk (80 calories)
1/2 c. yogurt (dannon is the lowest in calorie that I've found--I get the big container and it's only 55 calories for 1/2 cup)
1 c. frozen fruit (your choice but usually only about 50 calories or so)
Super tasty and it makes a TON--so it's very filling and just under 200 calories!
Taco Soup
4 chicken breasts
1 qt. chicken broth (low sodium if you have it)
1 pkg. taco seasoning
1 can diced tomatoes
1 15 oz. can tomato sauce
2 cans black beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can navy beans/northern beans
1 cup frozen corn
1 T. cilantro
Cook the chicken in the chicken broth on low/medium heat, while covered until cooked through. Then cut up the chicken into bite size pieces. Add all other ingredients (rinse and drain beans prior to adding) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer for about 20 minutes. Then add cilantro. This is an awesome recipe and my kids eat it! It's only about 340 calories in about a 1 1/2 cup serving. If you use regular chicken broth, it does have a lot of sodium--so be careful!
