Yummy Santa Fe Chicken

A few people suggested a website to me that has a bunch of healthy recipes. http://www.skinnytaste.com/ I've only tried one recipe so far, but once I get some more groceries I will definitely be trying some more. I like to tweak some recipes I find online, mostly because I don't always have the right ingredients, or I don't have them period. This site seems like it would be really easy to substitute some things. I was just looking for some crock pot recipes, because cooking in our apartment makes it really hot. Which will be nice in the winter, but it's not winter yet. A recent favorite of mine and Nick's is called Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken. Here's the direct link http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/02/crock-pot-santa-fe-chicken-425-pts.html

I made some adjustments because I didn't have some things, and I had some other things I wanted to use up. Here is my version.

· 1 frozen Kroger chicken breast thawed and cut into two pieces. (they're pretty big breasts :)

· 2 roma tomatoes diced

· 1 can pork and beans (I bought a bunch of these when they went on sale after the 4th of July)

· handful of dried cilantro

· 14.4 oz can fat free chicken broth ( used the powder mixed with water, it's the same thing)

· 1 whole jalapeno cut into medium sized chunks

· 1 tsp garlic powder

· 1 tsp onion powder

· Couple sprinkles of red pepper (to taste)

· dash of Chile powder

Combine chicken broth, beans, jalapeno, tomatoes, cilantro, chile powder,red pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in the crock pot. Season chicken breast with salt, and pepper then lay on top. Cook on low for 10 hours or on high for 6 hours. Half hour before serving, remove chicken and shred. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in. Adjust salt and seasoning. Serve over rice (extra pts).

I don't do weight watchers or points, but I like healthy foods. I served it over rice and had it with a tortilla. YUMMM!
