Addressing a couple different people:

BBQ pulled chicken, I have made this multiple times wth Frozen and non frozen chicken. I put whole breasts in and a bottle of my fave bbq sauce, couple cloves of garlic and maybe a sprinkle or two of caijun spices. Leave it cook either low all day at work (like 9 hours!) or on the weekends on high for about 3 hours. Then pull it (shred it) with forks and leave it sit in there for another 30 minutes or whatever. Lets the insides get the juicy goodness all over them too. And Voila! I have had it on sandwiches, I have served it as the entree with mashed potato.. its delicious.

Pulled pork/chicken/beef is simply meat that is cooked and shredded up in usually a bbq sauce.

Wow, so many great ideas here! Will definitely go through and try some of these.

2 pork tenderloin, 1tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 cup red wine, 1 clove garlic, 1/2 packet onion soup mix, 3/4 cup of water = Awesome!!!

I *just* made this for the first time last night - and it was fantastic! Having leftovers for lunch today.

SkinnyTaste has a few other recipes I like (Chicken Taco Chili for one)

Chicken breast with salsa... its so good !! I eat it plain w/ a veggie or put in a low cal tortilla.

Really! Do you cut the chicken breast up before you place them in the crock pot? That sounds delicious!

I make this a lot too. I put frozen chicken breasts inside all the time. After being in the crockpot all day it breaks apart easily on it's own. No need to cut up the chicken ahead of time.

Take an entire chicken, wash it inside and out, and put it in the slow cooker on low in the morning, and when you come home at night you'll have the most wonderful, moist, perfectly-cooked chicken ever, that you can use for any recipe.

My slow cooker has enough room for two entire chickens - I stuff them in on their sides.

I'll often start cooking two chickens, starting on Sunday morning and let them just go all day. Then, on Sunday evening I'll take them out, let them cool a little, and clean. The meat just falls off the bone, the skin peels off effortlessly, and I have an entire week's worth of healthy chicken cooked so easily!

You can even strain and use the broth for soup, once you let it cool and skim off the fat.

You can also season the chicken before putting it in the pot - but I usually prefer to season the meat when I'm using it, instead,

I love cooking chicken like this!

you don't have to add any liquid?

I clearly love my crockpot and do this too - no you do not need to add any liquid. I ball up aluminum foil at the bottom of my crockpot and put the whole chicken on top of it. I use various seasonings, depending on what I'm in the mood for.

I've even stuffed the cavity with carrots when I wanted some easy veggies with it.

my favorite, kind of a country pork stew. about 300 cals for 1/12 of this recipe, which is about a cup

3 cans of beans (14oz cans)
3-4C onions, carrots, and/or potatoes, cubed

3/4 lb italian sausage, no casings
1-1/2 lb pork butt cubed

3 cloves garlic, pressed
3C chicken broth
1/2t oregano, dried
1/2t basil, dried

1. brown the meats -i brown the sausage first, then use the fat to brown the pork butt. drain off the fat if you must

2. put the beans, veggies, herbs in the bottom of the cooker

3. put the meats on top

4. add chicken broth to barely cover

5. cook on low for 7-8 hours. if you can, stir about 1/2way thru.

This make a nice hearty stew, good by itself, or over rice.

I use Hunts original. You could always look into making your own bbq sauce too. http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,2355,154181-234206,00.html

I have made that with onions instead of the onion soup mix and it doesn't get as salty, but either way....it is absolutely delicious!

Ok, I tried this recipe tonite but I did substitute beef for the venison. It was very tasty and very easy. I and my 2 kids loved it!
