So with this new way of eating, we are discovering ways to make food taste good without using much, or any, salt and trying to avoid "unhealthy" foods. It sometimes gets hard to find a meal that can satisfy us and meet the guidelines too.
Tonight I wanted something easy, tasty and done when I got home as we have a night of track meets to attend and want to have the kids fed before we go. So I did some thinking. And I cruised the internet. And decided to "wing it" again when I couldn't find anything that suited us just right. I love my crock pot and so this is what I am going to use for this recipe. I decided chicken was going to be the protein tonight, and using some ideas off the net, and my own I put this together.
Lemon Lime Chicken
Ingredients
8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts ( I used frozen)
2 medium/large lemons
1 medium lime
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp dried onion flakes
2 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp poultry seasoning
I put the chicken into the crock pot while still frozen. I zested the lemons and the lime. Then added that on top of the chicken. Then I "peeled" the lemons and lime, (really, I just cut away the pith with my sharp knife) removed the seeds (throw away seeds) and then sliced them up and tossed them into pot. Then sprinkled the remaining ingredients on top. I added no liquid. I put all this together the night before, then put into the refrigerator until the morning. Once I got up for work I put the crock pot into the heating part, and set it up on low heat then went to work. When I came home my house smelled wonderful and I had this amazing chicken.. Juicy, flavorful, and shredded up like magic. I think we will have this with rice, or maybe noodles. Not sure yet. But it was good all by itself. Kids loved it, and I know this will be a repeat recipe.
