Introduction

This is a yummy way to get in your carbs, protein, some veggies and a load of flavor. Filling, too! If you want fat though, you're gonna want to add some olive oil or something. This recipe is virtually fat free @ less than 12 fat grams for the entire recipe which makes about 6 fairly large size portions! Vegetarians just use vegetable broth and omit the chicken and add a few more beans! :-) This is a yummy way to get in your carbs, protein, some veggies and a load of flavor. Filling, too!

Ingredients

    1 1/2 cup White Rice (brown would be better)
    16 oz bag of dry Black Beans
    14 1/2 oz can Sliced Carrots, drained
    12 1/2 oz can of 98% Fat Free Breast of Chicken in water
    14 1/2 oz can of 99% Fat Free Chicken Broth or Vegetable Broth
    14 1/2 oz can of your favorite Diced tomatoes w/ juice
    6 cups water
    2 tbsp Dried Parsley
    5 tbsp Dehydrated Onion flakes
    2 1/2 tbsp Garlic Powder
    1 tsp Red or cayenne pepper flakes (omit if you don't like spicy)
    Dash or two of ground cumin
    3-4 dashes Black Pepper
    3 dashes Seasoning Salt

Directions

Place all ingredients together into a slow cooker or CrockPot. Turn on high and let it cook for 3-4 hours. Turn it down to low and let it cook the remaining hours (total of 12-18) until it's done to your taste. Taste and add seasonings as needed for your own flavor and style. Pretty simple! Just dump it all in and stir and cook!

Makes approx 6 (1-1 1/2 cup) servings!

Enjoy! Happy (nearly fat free) Eating!

Variations: put in corn in addition to or in place of something, use diced tomatoes with green chiles, experiment with other spices, stir in some salsa (as hot as you like) in place of the diced tomatoes, crumble baked tortillas over your bowl, shred low-fat cheddar over top or put a dollop of fat free sour cream on top! I think at some point in time I'll just have to try all of those lovely ideas! :-)
