Crockpot Italian Parmesan Chicken

I've always been one to love cooking and trying different things, especially new recipes!

And I love that it's Fall. That means it time to bring out my crockpot! The last couple of weeks, my partner at work, has been talking about chicken pot pie. Anyone who knows me and has followed my journey, knows that it's not on my meal plan.

So I went in search of something that was. Pinterest is an amazing place to start! So I found a couple recipes for crockpot chicken pot pie soup, fillings, and more.

Sadly, I was out of chicken stock, chicken bouillon, or any canned 'creamed’ soups. So, I went another route! ;)

Crockpot Italian Parmesan Chicken!

2 large chicken breasts

1 package of dry Italian seasoning

1 tbsp garlic powder

2 tsps pepper

Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Then add in 1 bag of frozen mixed veggies! I let it cook for about 30 more mins.

Once it was done, I turned my crockpot to the keep warm setting, and topped with 1- 1 ½ cups of shredded Parmesan cheese.

This was served over brown rice!

This recipe also made enough for 2 full meals for 3 of us!

COOKIE DOUGH BALLS

I was so excited when I seen a video on Facebook with a recipe for cookie dough balls, that I knew I needed to share.

Cookie Dough Balls
~ 3 scoops Vanilla Shakeology
~1/2 cup peanut butter(original recipe calls for cashew butter, but my store didn't have any)
~1/2 cup honey
~1/2 cup shredded coconut(original recipe calls for slivered almonds)
~ 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips (original recipe calls for dark chocolate chips)

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until well mixed. Then shape the dough into bites size pieces and place in the fridge to set.

I halved the recipe when I made it and i got about 18 balls. This recipe went over exceptionally well with the hubby and kids!

Coconut Curry Chicken

Coconut Curry Chicken

I a huge chicken fan. I could eat it pretty much every day and not get tired of it. My husband, on the other hand, could have it once a month and still think it's too much! ;)

So lately I've been scoping out Pinterest to find different ideas for the chicken. And I found curry chicken. I started looking through the recipes and kinda pieced together my own recipe. So I thought I'd share. :)

~5 chicken breast, cut up into bite size pieces
    Seasoned with onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, salt, coriander- all to your taste
~1 tbsp coconut oil
 Put coconut oil in your frying pan and then cook chicken until done. Once the chicken is done, I added 1 can of coconut milk and then added 1-2 tbsp curry powder, depending on your taste. And then added a steamed bag of mixed veggies. Let simmer until sauce thickens.

I used brown rice and cooked it in chicken broth instead of water.

Serve the chicken curry over the rice.

**This recipe can be spicy, but it's kid friendly in my household**
