Anyone have any good, healthy crock pot recipes?

DH and I have been on crazy schedules lately, and aren't able to eat dinner together as much anymore. Any rec's?

My favorite, and easiest... Put a few chicken breasts in, cover with black bean salsa. Shred it up when done and put it in tacos or over rice! Yum!

I've roasted a whole chicken a few times.  Make a ring of foil, put that in the bottom of the crock pot, and put the chicken on top.  The skin won't get crispy and I wouldn't stuff it b/c of the long, low cooking time, but the meat is almost like a rotisserie chicken.

Also, I'd love to hear about recipes that don't include a can of cream of yuck soup!

Mushroom, Lentil and Barley Stew (I add carrots to mine): http://allrecipes.com/recipe/mushroom-lentil-barley-stew/detail.aspx

Vegetarian Chili (Cut out the oil and put raw veggies in the crock pot.  Drain all but one can of tomatoes.  Cook 8 hours on low.): http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/special-dietary-needs/vegetarian/chunky-vegetarian-chili/

I'm a fan of soups and chilis especially late in the week.  They double as weekend lunches.

I love to put chicken breasts in the crockpot with approximately 1/2 cup water and some salt and pepper. Cook on low for 3-5 hours. Shred with a fork.

You can then use the chicken for many different recipes! Two of our favorites are: adding some salsa and cheese and make quesadillas or adding BBQ sauce to the chicken and put it over lettuce with black beans and corn for a great salad.

Thanks gals, I'll give those a try.
