Crockpot Chicken and veggies - wheat free/grain free/dairy free

Crockpot Chicken and Veggies

This is so versatile and so easy.  You can use all kinds of low carb veggies in this - onions, green beans, squash, celery, chives, mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, peas, etc.  This time I used mushrooms, onions and carrots.  Carrots are just a little higher in carbs that some veggies, but still usually OK.  Also, in the picture I served with around 1 t Siriachi sauce, which adds 1 carb (4 calories).

4 carrots, peeled and cut into bite sized pieces
1 onion, cut up
6-8 mushrooms, quartered
1/2 C green beans
1 whole chicken (around 4-5 pounds)
1 t chicken bouillon - look for kinds with zero calories or zero sugar
2 t poultry seasoning

Put all ingredients in the slow cooker/crock pot and cook on high 4-5 hours, low 6-9.  Sprinkle with spices.

Serves around 5 with leftover chicken for at least one more meal.

Calories:  210, 11 grams carbohydrates (with carrots, some other veggies will be lower), 3 grams fiber
