CROCK POT GREENS AND CHICKEN
A simple light meal in the slow cooker that is bold in taste. Mustard greens, especially, have a bold, peppery flavor. I like to use the pre-washed, packaged greens that have the long, thick stems removed and have been coarsely chopped. The dish is low in fat and low in net carbs.

Tips:

- Trim the greens: Before cooking, trim the greens by removing the tough stems. You can do this by hand or with a sharp knife.
- Wash the greens thoroughly: Greens can be gritty, so it's important to wash them thoroughly before cooking. Rinse them several times in cold water, or soak them in a sink filled with cold water for 30 minutes.
- Use a slow cooker: A slow cooker is the perfect appliance for cooking greens. It allows the greens to cook slowly and evenly, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish.
- Add flavorings: To add flavor to the greens, you can add a variety of seasonings, such as garlic, onion, salt, and pepper. You can also add smoked turkey, ham, or bacon for a smoky flavor.
- Serve with cornbread: Greens and chicken are a classic Southern dish that is often served with cornbread. Cornbread is a simple and delicious bread that is made with cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
