It's Monday again!
Howdy, Slow Cookerers!!
How ARE you?
Okay. Let's get back to business.
We are now officially 8 days in to this New Year --- who's fallen off the Resolution Wagon?
(I may or may not have eaten the last two pieces of fudge with walnuts and marshmallows yesterday that were lurking in the back of the fridge..)
(but that is because I have THREE children, and this was pretty much the only fair way to handle the situation...)
:-)
But today?
Let's talk Chicken.
Chicken is a household staple for many families, and it's pretty much written in a law somewhere that you can never have too many chicken recipes.
SO, here's another one!
:-)
Honey-Lime Chicken Soft Tacos
365 Slow Cooker Suppers, page 115
serves 8ish
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch strips
1/3 cup honey
2 limes, juiced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 (14-ounce) can green enchilada sauce (naturally gluten free, but double-check ingredient listing)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (to add later)
corn tortillas for serving
suggested toppings: shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese, sour cream, sliced olives
Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Place the chicken into the insert.
Add the honey, lime juice, garlic, and chili powder.
Stir in the enchilada sauce (verde sauce). Cover, and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours.
Shred the meat completely using two forks, and stir in the heavy cream.
Spoon with a slotted spoon into warm corn tortillas and top with your desired fixens'.
The Verdict.
I think you'll really love how the honey and enchilada sauce marry for a twangy sauce that is balanced beautifully with the cream.
The filling freezes and reheats nicely.
Shredding chicken breast before serving really helps the texture -- since chicken breast has super little fat or oil, you want the chicken to have the opportunity to soak up all the juices in the pot.
Enjoy!!
have a wonderful day, a super happy 2023, and happy slow cooking!!

Nice words about the new(ish) Intermittent Fasting book:
Hi Steph. I want to thank you for writing the 2, 4, 6 EAT book. It's been suggested I lose about 40 pounds to help with my joint problems
and my IBS I know is better when I let my stomach rest but I've always been scared to fast. You are the first book I read
that made this sound doable. Thank you for writing in a way my brain understands! I ended up already losing 5.25 pounds since I started the day after Christmas.
We are making your pizza soup for dinner tonight and I love that I can eat with the family exactly what they want without having to worry about "going off plan."
