Crockpot Chicken Yumminess!

I love my crock-pot Chicken because it's super simple...tastes great and is low calorie!

Ingredients:

(2) 4 oz Skinless, boneless chicken breasts (Adjust number of breasts for your family size)

4 cups Veggie Organic Broth

4 oz can of mushrooms

2 Tbsp Cornstarch (I use Argo)

1/4 c cold water
Pepper to personal taste

Wash and put chicken breasts in crock-pot.  Cover with Veggie Broth and add mushrooms.  Cook slow for 7 to 8 hours. Once done....mix Cornstarch with 1/4 c cold water in a cup or small bowl.  Pour veggie broth and mushrooms into a sauce pan and heat to boiling. Turn off heat and pour in Cornstarch and mix until thickened. Spoon evenly over each Chicken Breast and serve.

*Don't make the gravy and save even more calories! It's still super yummy!

Cucumber Yumminess!

I love Cucumbers! So here is my #1 go to snack! Quick and easy and it's SO yummy!

Peel and Slice half a Cucumber and sprinkle a little pepper and Paprika!  This makes 1 serving. Sometimes....I'll add just a small amount of my Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing to each slice for a nice extra kick!  Yummy goodness anytime throughout the day or night! =)
