8 Top-Rated Slow Cooker Recipes That Are Low-Fat

These 5-star slow cooker recipes are satisfying, low cal, and low in fat. Also, because the type of fat is important, we looked for recipes that are low in saturated fat, choosing recipes that feature leaner cuts of meat, like chicken breasts, and that call for olive oil instead of butter, for example. Take a look:

1. Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Shred any leftovers for sandwiches or tacos. “Amazing,” says BrewHaHa. “It cooked perfectly in the slow cooker, and my kids loved it! I added a squeeze of lime and fresh cilantro just before serving it with plantains, black beans, and rice.”

5. Slow Cooker Chicken Mole

“A dark, rich, complex-flavored mole recipe,” says ELAINE05. “I generally shred the chicken so it will soak up the mole sauce. Tailor it to your own level of hotness and/or cocoa/peanut flavor.” Danielle says, “This was great. Very tasty, healthy, and easy.”
