Great food for those who hate to cook, lack experience or time, or just like easy stuff

I'm reviving this old thread as my "i don't like to cook" philosophy has become more entrenched this last year. Plus I have been doing intermittent fasting along with 1200 calories for about nine months now. Plus I'm living alone, so I'm really looking for yummy low-cal meals for myself. But please keep don't feel like everything you post has to be low cal.

This recipe is super easy for a family and I made it a lot when the kids were at home.

Put a whole uncooked chicken, or several pieces of any type of cut up chicken you want to cook, in a crock pot. Top with a medium sliced onion. Add one 15 ounce can tomato sauce, plus one can full of water. Put the cover on your pot. Cook for 8 or more hours on low, or 3-4 hours on high.

When you get ready to serve it, add a can or two of whatever veggie you want to use, and let it cook for about another 20 minutes. The Chicken will be falling-apart cooked.

Serve over rice, noodles, mashed potatoes or crusty bread. This meal easily feeds a family of 6, Its also colorful enough to serve to company.

Smooches,
Keri
