INGREDIENT NOTES:

CHICKEN BREAST:

  • This is the main thing that we will cook in the slow cooker. It actually has zero WW points, so it’s a good ingredient for this recipe. It will properly cook in the slow cooker and make your meal fulfilling. If you need something else, use chicken thighs, which can change points too.

GREEN CABBAGE:

  • We will use green cabbage here for another basic thing. It will become flavorful after soaking up flavors from other ingredients. Also, your caloric count will not rise too much from using this vegetable. Kale is another choice for you to add as well.

LOW-SODIUM, FAT-FREE CHICKEN BROTH:

  • This ingredient will not add points to your plan, and it will include flavor in your dish as well. Also, the chicken breast in your recipe will stay moist if you use this. Use fat-free vegetable broth for substitution as well.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:

  • This ingredient will include a tangy flavor in your recipe and maintain other flavors as well. You can include lemon juice for a different option if you prefer.

MINCED GARLIC:

  • Garlic will make the flavor of your dish savory, and it will include antioxidants as well. Use roasted garlic paste or garlic powder for other options in this recipe.

SALT:

  • Adding salt will boost the taste of your slow cooker recipe. If you need anything else, try adding a salt substitute.

BLACK PEPPER:

  • You will feel some heat when you add black pepper to your dish. This will also help make your dish richer. Another alternative for this can be white pepper.

DRIED THYME:

  • Here, we will use this herb for a fresh aroma and flavor as well. Use Italian seasoning for substitution, too.

  2. Then put your chicken breast on the base of the slow cooker.
