recipe of the week: crockpot chicken and rice

warm, hearty and delicious this recipe is skinny bovine-worthy not only because it's cheap and healthy, but it's crock pot-easy and it makes great left overs.

crockpot chicken and rice

2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (adjust according to how hungry your diners are)
1/2 cup water
1 package dry zesty italian dressing mix

cook 4 hours on high; cut chicken into bite-sized pieces or shred it

add one can 98% fat-free cream of chicken soup (buy the Wal-Mart generic brand!), one 8 oz package 1/3 less fat or fat-free cream cheese

cook until hot; serve over rice

extra-healthy modifications: serve over brown rice instead of white and add fresh spinach when you add the last two ingredients. yum, yum!

recipe attribution: thanks, mom!
cook time: just minutes... yeah for crock pots! (and okay, the rice will take 20 minutes or so), makes lots!
