Crockpot Chicken Stroganoff

I don't have any pictures for you, as we ate it all, but I wanted to share a very yummy and pretty healthy recipe.

Crockpot Chicken Stroganoff

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 can reduced fat/fat free cream of mushroom soup
1 16oz container fat free sour cream
1 packet onion soup mix

  1. In crockpot, mix soup, sour cream and onion soup mix
  2. Add chicken in crockpot
  3. Cover and cook on low for about 7 hours
  4. When finished, shred/break up chicken into bite size pieces
  5. Serve over brown rice or wheat egg noodles
This makes enough for a family of 4 for at least two nights.

Bonus, both kids L-O-V-E-D it!

Feel Good, Eat Good

When cooking a LeanCuisine today for lunch, I was overcome with laughter upon reading the packaging. First, I was cooking Tortilla Crusted Fish, with rice, poblano peppers & corn in a sour cream sauce. Oooo, fancy, shmancy!

Anywho, here is what it said:
"Remove tray from box", check.
"Remove film from fish portion only", hmmm... There wasn't a little divider thingy between the fish and the rice, so how in God's green earth am I supposed to do that? Ok, I peeled the film back to expose the fish, so check.
"Cook on High 3 mins. and 30 secs, or until fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked throughout.", check.

All was going well until I read the Wellness Tip, listed on the box as well:
"Enjoying your meals from a plate and eating more slowly can lead to a more satisfying meal experience." Huh? If I had a plate, I would probably be at home, hence, I wouldn't be eating a LeanCuisine, now would I.

I feel sorry for those poor souls who have to write the stuff on the LeanCuisine boxes. What a job.
