its that time again...for the slow cooking meals!


I did our first crock pot meal since it started to get a little cooler out this week. It was so fun it warmed up the house and really made it feel like fall! It's a super easy recipe- great if you don't have much time to be in the kitchen during the week!

Rosemary Chicken with white beans

2tbs oil
4-6 chicken breast halves
1 cup carrots, sliced
½ cup celery sliced
1 can great northern white beans- drained and rinsed
½ tsp. salt, ½ tsp. pepper
1 tsp. rosemary
1/3 cup fat free Italian dressing
(I used a little more than what the recipe calls for on the carrots and celery..I like veggies!)

In a large skillet, heat oil and brown chicken. Place carrots, celery and beans in a crock pot on the bottom and add chicken. In a medium bowl combine salt, pepper, rosemary and dressing- and pour into pot- stir, cover and cook on low for 8hours or on high for 4 hours (you may need to cup cooking time in ½ because it cooks up a little quicker and you don't want it to be to dry!)
