A Family Favorite

I was up early this morning to head into work, but before I left I started our lunch. As soon as Tiana heard what I was making she was gleeful! I prepped all of the ingredients last night, and this morning fired up the George Foreman grill to brown the chicken and threw it all in the crock-pot. Serve it shredded over biscuits and you have a FABULOUS meal! Oh, and did I mention? It's low-fat, low-cal (not including the biscuit!) and just awesome!

Slow-Cooker Lemon Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 Tbs. lemon-pepper seasoning
1 lb. fresh soup vegetables, chopped (I use carrots, celery, onion and sometimes parsnip)
1 can (10-3/4 oz.) reduced-fat cream of chicken soup
1 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed

Coat chicken with lemon-pepper seasoning. Coat a medium nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and warm over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 5 minutes, or until browned on both sides, turning once. Place chicken in slow cooker. Add vegetables. In a medium bowl, combine soup, half a soup can of water, and rosemary. Pour over vegetables and chicken. Cover and cook on low 8 hours or high 4 hours.
