Divided into four portions, that's about 500 calories per serving. Not something you can eat much of if you are trying to lose weight, but okay at normal weight if you are getting your other carbs from non-starchy fruits and vegetables.

Procedure

1. Put chicken in crockpot. Mix these spices

   • 1 tbsp mixed Italian spices
   • 2 tsp garlic powder
   • 2 tsp onion powder
   • 1 tsp ground cumin
   • ½ tsp red pepper

   with ½ cup of water. Pour over chicken. Cook on high for 2 hours.

2. Mix cream cheese, mushrooms, green chiles, and chicken soup. Pour over chicken. Cook for an hour

Ohmigosh, but this stuff is good! I was wondering how to decrease the fat. Maybe use Neufchatel cheese instead?

Second attempt — Sept 2011. This time I used six chicken breasts. Came out way too watery. Next time I'll try it without the chicken soup. Or maybe I'll used a tablespoon of vegetarian chicken broth for add'l flavoring.

Third attempt — Sept 2011

Ingredients

• Frozen chicken breasts 6-7 (one of the frozen bags from Fry's
• Sour cream 8 oz.
• One large onion, chopped
• One can of chopped green chiles, 4 oz.
• 1 tbsp vegetarian “chicken broth” powder
• 1 tbsp mixed Italian spices
• 2 tsp onion powder (didn't have this time)
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• ¼ tsp red pepper
• ½ cup of water

Procedure

Put frozen chicken in crockpot. Pour onions on top. Mix spices and broth powder. Mix with water. Pour over chicken. Cook in crock pot on high for 3 hours. Mix sour cream and green chiles. Mix with contents of crock pot. Cook on high for another hour.

It turned out okay. Sour cream left the juice much less creamy, so next time cream cheese. And next time I'll add a teaspon of salt.

Fifth attempt: original recipe, although only three chicken breasts because they were quite large
