How Do You Cook Light Slow Cooker Chicken Recipes?
Save time and cut down on fat and calories by preparing light, tasty chicken dishes in a slow cooker, which retains flavor and moisture. Choose the leanest parts of the chicken and select vegetables and herbs for seasoning. Add a low-fat cooking liquid, choose a heat setting, and let the slow cooker take care of the rest. Test for doneness and enjoy a flavorful chicken dinner, assembled ahead of time and ready at meal time. Choose skinless white meat for the lowest calorie and fat content. Trim any visible pockets of fat. Sear the chicken, sealing in the juices, in a pan coated with cooking spray or a small amount of olive or vegetable oil. Use the knife to cut up vegetables to be cooked with the chicken. Use onions, garlic, tomatoes and other aromatic vegetables to season food without adding fat and calories. Sear vegetables if desired. Place chicken, vegetables and other seasonings such as dried herbs or Italian, Asian or other ethnic spices according to taste in the slow cooker. Sti
