As a companion to my Ladies of Loserville post, I’m sharing my Chicken Ole’ recipe. Okay…so it’s not really my recipe. A very good friend made it for me one day, and I adapted it for my crock pot. I’ll include directions for both versions.

I love this recipe because it’s super easy and tastes SO good! And one serving – if I calculated correctly – is equal to 4 WW points. Mike and I ate this dish long before I decided to join Weight Watchers – so it’s not diet food! I was just super excited to see that it’s one of the better meals for me 🙂

Chicken Ole’

Ingredients:

• 4 Chicken Breast halves (which would be 2 chicken breasts, but I’ve found they come in halves) – boneless, skinless
• 2 jars of salsa (I use Green Mountain Gringo – THE best salsa!)
• 1 Lime
• Some squirts of mustard

Directions:

1. Place the chicken in the bottom of the crock pot.
2. Dump the salsa on top.
3. Cut the lime in half, squirt the juice of both halves on top of the salsa.
4. Squirt the mustard in and stir into the salsa (leaving the chicken on the bottom).
5. Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours.

If you don’t have a crock pot, cube the chicken and then put everything into a frying pan and let it simmer until the chicken is cooked all the way through.

Serve over rice. (1 cup of white rice is another 4 WW points. But add a salad with no-fat dressing and this is an entire meal for 8 points!)
