great soft food recipe

I was at a New Year's party just as I was starting my soft food phase, and my very gracious hostess did a great job taking care of me gastronomically.  I wanted to share this recipe with you as I've made it now a couple of times and it just is awesome.  Better than canned chicken, and not hard at all on the tummy.

Chili-Lime chicken

you need:

2 chicken breasts

3 limes

1 tsp cayenne

1 clove of garlic per chicken breast, crushed

1/4 cup of chicken broth

low fat shredded cheese

How to cook:

Put the chicken breasts, cayenne, and the juice of 2 limes in a slow cooker.  Add zest of one lime as well.  Cook on as low temp as possible for 6 hours.  Pull the chicken out and let cool slightly.  Shred the chicken with two forks, and return it to the slow cooker with the juice of 1/2 the remaining lime and the chicken broth. cook uncovered in the slow cooker one more hour.  Just before you serve, add 1 tsp of the low fat cheese per bowl. It'll be super soft but still have a "feel" to it.  It's also juicy and has FLAVOR. It's also NOT spicy- the pepper just cuts the lime a bit.

I use a scale to get 3 oz out of this, and according to MyFitnessPal, per ounce this has 8 protein, 37 calories, 0.75 carb, and 2 fat.  That's including the cheese!

I've considered swapping the cheese for the 0 fat Fage greek yogurt.  I think it tastes alot like sour cream and will add a neat flavor too.   

Hope you all enjoy!

Oh yum! I will definitely try this!

That sounds soooo good! Thanks for sharing.
