That concept is difficult to explain to some
LowCarb Crockpot Chicken Cordon Bleu, with Cauliflower
1) Put ham and cheese on chicken.
2) Roll up and secure with a toothpick.
3) Place chicken in crockpot. so it resembles a triangle /_\. Layer the rest on top.
4) Mix soup and milk. Pour over top of chicken.
5) Cover and cook on low for 4 + hours or until chicken is no longer pink.
Serve over steamed cauliflower florets, (or noodles) with the sauce it makes.
* The alternative to cream soup is whole cream and sliced button mushrooms, and a teaspoon of tapioca starch or arrowroot as a thickener. Using either of the thickeners are best for freezing foods with gravy or creamed soups, as they will not separate as will flour when thawing.
LowCarb Crockpot Turkey Chili
1) If using fresh turkey, in large sauce pan, cook turkey and onions in butter until turkey is browned and no longer pink in color, about 9 minutes. Drain; Dice and return turkey and onions to pan.
(If using ground turkey skip #1, and sauté ground turkey in onions)
2) Add remaining ingredients except the cheese to turkey mixture; bring to boil, stirring frequently.
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3) Place everything into crockpot, and cover. Cook on low for 2 plus hours.
4) Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of cheese over each serving of chili.

Good job! Many foods are simple to prepare. This really is a good recipe to give kids an idea of how important technique is to cooking, Of course the flambe part requires supervision. But then again its no more dangerous than smores ;^)
Excellent! I've been looking for this.
Thanks.
