I’m trying to hop back on that weight loss bandwagon again.  It’s been a while.  I seem to have fell off when I went on my trip to Breckenridge, Colorado.  That was way back in February.  I know.  So sad.

I decided to start my journey back onto some sort of resemblance of healthy eating, by looking for low carb sort of dishes to fix.  I tend to do well with losing weight when I eat low sugar, low carb, high protein and loads of vegetables.

If you’re on a low or no sugar diet, be sure to check everything for sugar added.  They sneak it in, in the most inconvenient places!  It will likely be in your pasta sauces unless they’re specifically labeled as no sugar added.  You may also find them in chili beans and other canned goods that you wouldn’t really expect it. Just be careful and read labels.

For this particular recipe, it calls for pasta.  I used whole wheat spaghetti noodles, because that’s what I had on hand, but….to eliminate even more carbs, you may want to consider spiralizing zucchini and serving it over that.  We have a spiralizer similar to this one:

and it does a great job with making noodles.  We will put sauce over it and eat them raw, but some  people will lightly steam them so they can be warm.  Really, I don’t notice that they’re not warm, because the sauce heats it up, so prefer them raw.  I did not use zucchini noodles the last time I made this, but can easily substitute for this any time I choose.

The recipe is quite simple.  For this particular recipe, it is perfectly safe to only cook the amount of chicken that you need for your family size.  We do a full 3 pound bag, but if you only need 4 pieces, do 4 pieces.  Are you ready?  Grab your ingredients and your slow cooker and let’s get started!

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
