Crock Pot Chicken & Beans & Greens

AQueen's Note:

This was a combination of a number of recipes I came across trying to find one that would use the crock pot and the ingredients I had on hand. It turned out FABULOUS! I served it over well-toasted garlic bread with a salad and sliced cantaloupe on the side. Healthy, low carb, simple and impressive.

Mondays are quite busy as my two oldest daughters and I have our Civil Air Patrol meetings, so crock pot meals are a welcome choice. I doubled recipe as I needed it to feed 6 people. One thing I did alter in the recipe was the cooking of the spinach. Since no one in my family is big on cooked spinach, I added it raw in our bowls and spooned the chicken and beans over the top to slightly wilt it. The only thing I will do differently the next time is keep the amount of liquid at a single serving as we ended up with soup in the crock pot. Oh, I might also top each serving with additional Parmesan cheese after I have dished it up. Made and reviewed for Spring PAC 2012.

We did some work in the yard and I threw this in the crockpot. Quick and easy and oh so good. When it was time to eat, I threw together a quick salad and we wre ready to go. Thanks for our lovely supper. It's a winner and can't wait to make it again, AQueen.

DH and I enjoyed this. I used a 10 oz. box of frozen spinach (thawed and drained) and chopped cooked turkey.
