Website Love Always, Mommy

Ingredients

  • 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (Mine were just a little defrosted. Not much)
  • 1 packet Packet Taco Seasoning (I used my own taco seasoning. If you make your own I used 3 tbsp)
  • 1 jar Jar Salsa (I used mild - Paul Newmans)
  • Tortillas
  • Toppings

Directions

Step 1
Put your Chicken Breasts in your Crock Pot, pour the Taco Seasoning over the Chicken Breasts. Then pour the Mild Salsa on top. Set Crock Pot on Low and cook for 4-6 hours. (My crockpot doesn't have low 4 - 6 hours, so I did low for 8 hours and it came out perfect) You should be able to shred the Chicken apart with a fork. Put some Chicken in a Tortilla and top with whatever you wish.

This was really good. I put the zucchini in my food processor. My son didn’t know there was zucchini in it.

Website Skinny Crockpot

Ingredients

  • 1 1-lb., 7.8-oz. jar marinara sauce
  • 3 cups penne shells, whole grain, dry
  • 2 cups fat free cottage cheese
  • 2 cups skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 large zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, mozzarella, oregano, basil, and black pepper.
In the slow cooker, spoon 1/4 of marinara sauce onto the bottom, add 1 cup penne shells, 1/3 of zucchini slices and top with 1 cup cheese mixture. Repeat until you have three layers. Top with the remaining marinara and lastly, cheese. Note: Keep penne shells and cheese away from the edges by about 1 inch. Pasta tends to get hard and cheese burns if allowed to touch the sides while cooking.
Step 2
Cover and cook on low for approximately 2 hours or until penne noodles are al dente Not all slow cookers cook the same, so be sure that the penne is done before serving. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
