Try It Thursday x 2

Hey ladies! Today is Thursday and you know what that means...I try a new healthy recipe (usually found on Pinterest) and let you know how it works! Since my best one today is super simple, I'm throwing in an extra. Enjoy!!

Easy Crock Pot Shredded Chicken

This is my new favorite thing. I usually buy a rotisserie chicken and shred it for salads, sandwiches, taco filling, etc (the list could go on and on) but I hate peeling the skin off and feel like the white meat doesn't go very far! So I thought about throwing some chicken breats in a crockpot overnight so they would shred easily in the morning - I tried it, and it worked!

Ingredients:
3-5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1: 14-oz. can fat free low sodium chicken broth
Seasoning to taste (I used "Herbed Poultry" from by spice rack)

Directions:
Place chicken breasts in bottom of crock pot and sprinkle with seasoning. Pour chicken broth over top and cook on low overnight (6-8 hours). When done, shred and use for anything and everything!

Review:
Boom - so easy and even costs a little less than rotisserie chicken! This has just become a new weekly staple.

on a delicious asian salad - bring on the protein, ma!

Best Broccoli Ever

 

Another simple but delicious recipe. It is cooked at a high temperature so it gets all nice and crispy, not soft like steamed broccoli. A nice change of pace for switching up your veggies! I know I found this on Pinterest, but can't remember where. I have made it so many times, I am writing this from memory :) Even the hubs is impressed.

Ingredients:
1 large head broccoli
1-2 TB olive oil for drizzling
1-2 cloves minced garlic
Sea salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 425. Chop up broccoli. Dry VERY WELL with paper towels (this is the key step for maximum crispiness). Spread on cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle minced garlic over broccoli. Season with sea salt and pepper. Bake at 425 for 15-20 minutes - you will know it's done when the edges turn brown.

Review:
Also so easy and delicious. This is one of the few veggie dishes I make that is husband-approved.

As always, let me know if you make either of these, and what you think!
