Slow Cooker: 4 Ingredient Green Chile Chicken

Who doesn’t need another slow cooker recipe??

Who doesn’t need another 4 ingredient recipe?!

Exactly. So why would I not share??

Especially if you are a weight-loss surgery patient. If you’ve had Gastric Sleeve or Gastric Bypass surgery, slow cooker meals mean you can make a lot of food to use for several meals. If you are tired of putting a lot of work into meals you can eat so little of, I encourage you to keep finding exciting ways to make protein meals in your slow cooker!! (Okay, fine…I mean Crockpot®)

Make this meal for the family or load up the slow cooker for several meals until you get tired of it! Add in a bit of plain Greek yogurt will make this a bit creamier if you find the chicken getting dry when you reheat it.
