OMG Roasted Broccoli

This recipe is courtesy of my friend Amy L.  I am obsessed with this broccoli recipe which is very odd because I don't like broccoli!  This is not only super easy but SO INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS and the broccoli is super crispy.  My husband is in love with this recipe as well.

Ingredients:
broccoli
olive oil
salt & pepper

Directions:
preheat oven to 400 degrees
wash your broccoli crown and cut up broccoli into very small pieces.  the smaller the pieces the crispier the broccoli.
put in a ziploc bag and pour approximately 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the bag...careful not to pour in too much.
seal bag and move broccoli around to ensure olive oil coats all broccoli.
pour broccoli onto cookie sheet and lightly sprinkle salt and pepper.
cook for 30 minutes.
i flip the broccoli around 1-2 times.

Chicken with Black Beans and Corn

This is a YUMM-O recipe I found on the Skinny Crock Pot page on Facebook.  It's under the Poultry section.  So easy and tasty.  Below is the recipe, however I cut the cream cheese in half.  I shredded the chicken when done and poured it all into a warm whole wheat tortilla--- delicious!  John ommitted the tortilla and just ate it out of a bowl (he's dieting now...lost 10 lbs so far)!  He actually had it two nights in a row and kept talking about how yummy this was!

4-5 boneless chicken breasts
1 (15.5 oz.) can black beans, drained
1 (15.5 oz.) can corn, drained
1 (15 oz.) jar salsa
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese (I used the light cream cheese and only used half the package).

Directions:
1) Take 4-5 frozen boneless chicken breasts put into crock pot.
2) Add 1 can of black beans, drained, 1 jar of salsa, 1 can of corn drained.
3) Keep in crock pot on high for about 4-5 hours or until chicken is cooked.
4) Add 1 package of cream cheese (just throw it on top!) and let sit for about 1/2 hour.

TIP:  know your crock pot!  Mine is super charged so this meal cooked in half the time.
