Tex Mex Slow Cooker Chicken
Tex Mex Slow Cooker Chicken
A good chicken in the Crockpot® recipe is the oldest (and best) trick in the book. And that’s no except for post bariatric surgery patients.
It may be even more true if you’ve had a weight loss surgery! If you don’t feel like putting much work into your meals because you won’t be eating much anyway…I strongly suggest utilizing your slow cooker. It makes plenty so you can eat off your hard easy work for days.
Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Bypass and Gastric Banding patients – be sure to use a slotted spoon and remove this chicken mixture from the liquid it’s been cooking in. This chicken should be nice and moist, but as always be sure to take very small bites, eat slowly and avoid drinking with it and for an hour afterward. This will help fill you up on a small portion and stay full for hours. Sounds like weight loss to me!
