Dinner for Two

It's always a challenge for me to cook for just my husband and I. We're not too fond of leftovers and yet don't like to be wasteful and throw food out. It's a fine line that I struggle with to be wise and healthy with what we've been given. I really like the options you have with a 1 quart crock pot. It's small enough to make perfect portions for one or two people, and with a removable canister you can wash it in the dishwasher for easy cleanup.
This recipe was passed on to me by my good friend Elizabeth. Thanks Lizzie!

Chicken Fajita Quesadilla's

1-2 chicken breast (1 breast per person)
1 package fajita seasoning mix
1/2 cup fat free chicken broth

Put all ingredients into a small crock pot, cook for 6-8 hours on low. Use two forks to shred the chicken and mix it with the liquid.

1/2 cup sliced onions (optional)
1/2 cup slivered bell pepper (optional)
1 Tablespoon butter
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup gala apple, chopped (optional)
2-3 flour tortillas

While the meat is absorbing the liquid, saute onions and peppers in a tablespoon of butter.
Place a tortilla on a griddle or skillet, sprinkle the entire tortilla with cheese, put chicken, apples, onions, and peppers on half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla over the loaded half, cut and serve with low-fat sour cream and salsa.
