If you are a new THM, "E Meals" can seem a bit... uh... "Terrifying"! When I first came to Trim Healthy Mama, E meals were not so easy to figure out. Having come from years of "low-carb" dieting, the idea of intentionally creating a meal that revolved around protein and carbs (shudder!) made my heart race, my palms sweaty, and my knees weak! Ok, so while that may be a tad melodramatic, perhaps you can relate? For those struggling with the addition of carbs, please let me reassure you... There is no need to fear healthy, slow-burning carbs! Your body is designed to use them, and they are necessary (I repeat, they are NECESSARY) for good health! While this meal takes a bit of work, you will find the preparation quick and relatively simple - The luxury of a crock pot meal is delightful... but this can easily be made in a cast iron Dutch oven (changes to cooking time, of course) and I often make a similar dish in my cast iron skillet... but let's address this Crock-Pot version for today!

Hi, I've been searching your FB pages, sites, etc, and cannot for the life of me figure out what an E meal or an S meal is.

Looks good. I love Crockpot meals because I exercise in the evening from 5:15 to 6:15 and this makes it possible to have a hot meal at home ready for the family even though I am not there. :)

We call our place "RunAmok Farm" for a reason... I LOVE the ease of Crock Pot cooking as well! ;)

Made this dish yesterday for dinner. Smelled wonderful cooking in the crockpot all day. Love the flavors my only complaint is there is too much quinoa and rice compared to chicken. I used 6 chicken breast, 3/4 c rice//quinoa per breast and still have 6 hefty servings of quinoa/rice left over. I will make this again but cut the rice and quinoa down to 1/3 of what it calls for.
