Ingredients:
3 carrots, sliced
1 onion, quartered
3 celery stalks w/leaves cut in 1-in, ch pieces
6 mushrooms, med size, sliced
2 garlic cloves coarsely chopped
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp basil leaves
1/2 cup water, chicken broth, or white win, e
1 whole chicken, about 3 lbs
Instructions:
Put carrots, celery, and mushrooms in bottom of crock-pot. Place whole
chicken on top. Place onions and garlic around chicken, placing some
of each in cavity of the chicken. Top with the salt, pepper, and
liquid. Sprinkle the basil over the chicken. Cover and cook on LOW
for 8 to 10 hours (using HIGH, 3 1/2 to 5 hours using 1 cup liquid).
Remove chicken and veggies. I serve this with rice, but you could
also add some potatoes in the crock- pot (if you have room) and
that'll work, too. FOR A GRAVY, I've used 4 tb of flour in the
"drippings" and used a hand blender (it came out nicely)... Or you
can use 1 can of Cream of Mushroom soup blended into the "drippings."
Servings: 4
Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
