    Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps
    Ingredients:
    -3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
    -1 celery stalk
    -1 onion, diced
    -1 clove garlic
    -16 oz low sodium chicken broth
    -1/2 cup hot wing sauce
    -large lettuce leaves (Bibb or iceberg)
    -1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
    -2 large celery stalks, thinly sliced
    -blue cheese, for serving
    -ranch dressing, for serving

    Directions:
    1. Combine the chicken, onions, celery stalk (1), garlic, and broth in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.
    2. Remove the chicken from the pot, reserve 1/2 cup broth, and discard the rest. Shred the chicken with two forks, return to the slow cooker with the reserved broth and the hot sauce. Cook on high for an additional 30 minutes (I just kept mine on warm for another hour or two).
    3. Serve chicken on lettuce cups, topped with buffalo chicken, shredded carrots, chopped celery, blue cheese, and ranch dressing, if desired.

    Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken with Lime and Melted Mozzarella
    ingredients:
    2 cups mild or medium salsa, simmered to reduce to 1 cup
    4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise
    salt and fresh ground black pepper, for seasoning chicken
    2 T fresh-squeezed lime juice (or less if you’re not that into lime)
    1 cup grated low-fat Mozzarella

    Instructions:
    Put 2 cups of salsa into a small saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat until enough liquid has evaporated that the salsa has reduced to 1 cup.  (We used medium-heat salsa which was pretty spicy after being reduced; if cooking for kids I would use mild salsa and let adults add hot sauce at the table if they want more heat.)

    Trim all visible fat and undesirable parts from the chicken breasts and cut each one in half lengthwise.  Put the chicken in a single layer in a slow cooker that you’ve sprayed with non-stick spray; then season with salt and fresh ground black pepper.

    When the salsa has reduced to 1 cup, stir in the lime juice and pour the mixture over the chicken.  Cook on high for 60-90 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.  (Depending on how hot your slow cooker gets, cooking time may be a little more or less, but don’t cook too long or the chicken will start to shred apart.)

    When the chicken is cooked through, preheat the broiler and spray a small glass casserole dish with non-stick spray.  Use a slotted turner to lift out chicken pieces with whatever salsa clings to the chicken and arrange in a single layer in the casserole dish.  Then use a slotted spoon to scoop out the chunkier parts of the salsa and spoon it over the chicken.  (Just use enough so the chicken is well-covered with chunky salsa; leave the more watery salsa in the slow cooker.)

    Sprinkle 1 cup grated low-fat Mozzarella over the chicken and put the dish under the broiler until the cheese is melted and starting to lightly brown.  (This will be about 5 minutes with most broilers, but watch it carefully!)  Serve hot, with a little low-fat sour cream to add at the table if desired.

    This will keep for a day or two in the fridge.  For best results when reheating, put it in a small glass dish covered with foil and reheat in a toaster oven.  (If you must reheat it in the microwave, use lower heat so the chicken doesn’t dry out.)
    As long as you use low-fat mozzarella and salsa without added sugar,  It’s also approved for most other types of low-carb eating plans, most of which would prefer full-fat cheese.

    Thanks Angel! I am doing the salmon one today. Will have to use a casserole dish for the time being. Off to buy a slow cooker the weekend. Having a big clear out of the cupboards today, make some room to store it. They all sound delicious!!

    Yield: 4 servings

    Ingredients

    1 1/2 lbs beef chuck (roast or chuck steak), sliced into thin 1 1/2-inch long strips
    1/2 yellow onion, sliced into 2 portions
    1 cup low-sodium beef broth or beef consommé*
    1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
    1 Tbsp sesame oil
    1/3 cup slightly packed dark-brown sugar
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    2 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
    3 cups broccoli florets, diced into bite size pieces (from about 12 oz broccoli crowns)
    Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

    Directions

    Add beef and onion portions to a slow cooker. In a mixing bowl whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar and garlic. Season mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Pour mixture over beef and onions in slow cooker. Cover with lid and cook on low heat 2 1/2 – 3 1/2 hours, until meat has cooked through.
    Ladle out 1/4 cup of the broth from slow cooker and pour into a bowl. Add cornstarch and whisk until smooth then return broth mixture to slow cooker and gently stir.

Remove onion pieces. Serve warm over white or brown rice sprinkled with optional sesame seeds.
