Crock Pot Chicken Corn and Veggie Chowder
Saturday, January 11, 2014From our skinny table to yours...
Happy 2014 all! How are your health and fitness resolutions coming along? We hope everyone is staying both happy and motivated to make this your BEST year yet! We are loving our crock pots this year and came up with a delicious and healthy corn chowder that everyone will love! Easy, healthy and delicious... our fav combo!
We started by sautéing our base of carrots, celery, garlic, jalapeno and red onion in a combo of olive oil and grass fed butter. That's where the sautéing ends and the fun begins. Now simply toss your sautéed veggies, organic chicken breasts, corn, chicken stock, whole wheat flour and paprika into the crock pot.
CLOSE the LID and
allow to slow cook for 5-6 hours and then shred your perfectly cooked chicken
apart :)
Add in your milk, sliced bell pepper and lots of fresh spinach for added nutrition and simmer for another hour!
This was absolutely DELICIOUS and is perfect for a chilly winter weekend (like this one)! Hope you enjoy :)
