Chicken with Vegetables and Potatoes

I was looking for a simple and healthy meal to throw together.  My friend was coming over before we went to see Hunger Games so I thought I would try my Slow Cooker out on her.. :)

Ingredients:
1 lb Boneless Chicken
4 Potatoes (I used gold because I had them..)
2 packages Mushrooms (Minus a couple for an omlet I was making)
1 lb Baby Carrots
1/2 Onion
1 packet Onion Soup Mix
1 cup Water
1 tablespoon Worchester Sauce
Begin by placing the chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker.  I didn't thaw mine because it would sit in the fridge all night and cook all day.
Next clean all of the vegetables and potatoes and place them on top.  I peeled and quartered my onion before mixing it in.  Then you can mix together the onion soup mix, water and Worchester sauce in a measuring cup.
Evenly pour this on top of the vegetables.
I cooked this on low for eight hours and it sat on warm for an hour and a half.
This was a really delicious and basic meal to make.  It was really filling without all of the calories!  Sorry with all of the Hunger Games excitement I forgot to take a final picture...

Potato and Corn Chowder

Last weekend I needed to make a dish to pass at the Superbowl party. I figured a soup would be a great option to fill up on something healthy.

Ingredients: (Serves 6-8)
6 Slices of Crisp-cooked bacon, crumbled
2 1/2 - 3c Potatoes
1/2c Onions
1 - 16 oz Can of Corn
3c Chicken Broth
1 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Peppper
1 - 12 oz Can of Evaporated Milk


Chop the bacon and cook until crispy in a frying pan.


Chop the potatoes


Place all the ingredients in the slower cooker.


Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or High for 4 hours.


Add the milk, cover, and cook for 30 - 45 more minutes.


I served the soup with green onion and shredded cheese. It tasted so good. I got a ton of compliments on it at the party!
