Recipe Recap #1

I decided to try this recipe I'd found on the Skinny Crock Pot Facebook page which was created as a spin off to the "Crock Pot Girls". It's called CrockPot Italian Chicken and you can find it here. The recipe is the first post. In case you have trouble with the link here it is...

4 large frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts (I buy the 3 lb bags of frozen chicken breasts and use 4 of them for this recipe)
1/2 bottle fat-free Italian salad dressing
1 can rotel tomatoes (I use mild)
1-2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
1 large green or red pepper, sliced
1 large yellow onion, sliced

Place frozen chicken in bottom of crock pot. Add the rest of the ingredients in order and cook 8-10 hours on low. Serve over rice.
 I didn't use mushrooms as I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I stuck to the recipe almost entirely. It was delicious and nutritious and we even have leftovers for lunch tomorrow! I was lazy and served it over white rice since it's the easiest to cook, but if I was going to make this meal entirely Paleo I would have roasted cauliflower and used that instead. Overall, it was really good!
