I threw some chicken breast in the crock pot. I typically do this a lot. I leave it in then shred it and put it in the refrigerator for easy grabbing throughout the week.
Honestly, I am getting sick of chicken. So to look at that chicken in the crock pot, I was not looking forward to dinner. Therefore, I looked to see what veggies I had. Leaving the water (aka chicken broth) from the chicken in the crock pot, I shredded the chicken with two forks. Then, I grabbed a can of peas and a can of green beans and dumped them in (drained). Looking in the freezer, I found a bag of grilled, frozen veggies (had potatoes, peppers, onions and zucchini in the bag) and dumped them in. I then tossed in some brown rice.
Let me tell you - delicious!!! It was like a soup/stew. I added some salt and pepper to mine and ate it with a serving of tortilla chips.
The soup itself was less than 250 calories a serving and the sodium was low (although I added some to mine!) and packed protein!
I will definitely remember this to make again....and the beauty - leftovers!
