Healthy eating tips
Here’s what healthy eating means to me:
MODERATION. Portion control is so important. And eating slowly, actually chewing your food. Stopping at one serving. Drinking water in between meals.
EAT REAL FOODS. All the fruits, vegetables and protein you’d expect, but also including healthy fats.
ENJOY SNACKS. We love different combos of nuts (almonds or walnuts), mixed with cranberries, for a little sweetness.
ENJOYING THE FLAVORS. Savor the flavors of roasted vegetables, raw foods, juice, fruits, and proteins. Well-balanced makes us feel so good!
SHARE A MEAL. My husband and I are back on track with sharing meals when we eat out. Feels so much better!
Slow Cooker Chicken Breasts with Carrots and Potatoes
This recipe is great for 2 people, because you have leftovers! Or, serve it for the family for Sunday dinner!
All you need is 10 minutes to get this dish in the slow cooker. You’ll have a hearty chicken and veggie dinner waiting for you when you get home.
If you don’t have chutney, you can replace it with 1 cup of chicken broth, or 1/2 cup of wine and 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar.
Even salsa works!
You don’t add any water, and you walk away for 6-8 hours. The chicken is so tender! I love making a huge pot, because then it’s good in leftover enchiladas, etc.

Can I make this in a roaster oven instead of crock pot? If so what are the changes. Thank you
Yes you can!
Just got it started at 12:00 PM. Can’t wait for supper!
This is my go to Sunday dinner with leftovers for another dinner! Many thanks for this recipe
Do you have a substitute for the chutney?
Yes, you can use salsa, whatever flavor you like!
Just thought I would let you know that I tried this in the instant pot tonight. I put the onions, carrots and potatoes with some salt and the thyme into the pot for 6 minutes. This was a bit too long. (Will cut that back to 4 or 5 when I do it again). Cut chicken breasts in half and sprinkled with paprika, salt and pepper. Did a QR on the instant pot and put in the chicken and chutney. Cooked another 6 minutes with a 10 min NPR. Other than the veggies being a bit over cooked it turned out really well.
Love this recipe. Have you ever adapted it for the instant pot?
No, but I will soon and will let you know Carol!
Any idea how you would modify this to make it in the Instant Pot?
I’ve never tried this recipe in the instant pot.
I do not have. Slow cooker/crock pot , what can I use . This looks so delicious
Yum! Sounds great! I too hate “diets” especially ones that tell me what I can or can’t have. I’d rather make lifestyle changes that will last. Making small changes here and there. Much more successful.
