Looking for Crock Pot/Slow Cooker Poultry Recipes

Andrew56156

My wife can't do ground beef. I can't do long stringy noodles. We both are short on time. So I'm looking to compile as many recipes as I can that we can throw in the Crock Pot (or Slow Cooker) this winter with the main ingredient being Chicken or Turkey. Come on now, hit me with your best shot, people!

i have absolutely nothing to offer, but i will be watching this - pat benatar reference and all.

i too only do chicken & turkey, and i have an awesome like-new crock pot doing nothing more than gathering dust.

For easy crock-pot soup, I do:

1-2 raw chicken breast (depends on size)
1 cup of water
1 small onion chopped
2-3 stalks of celery
2 cans of diced tomatoes
2-4 potatoes (depending on size)
2-4 carrots (depending on size)
and then a can/small bag of mixed veggies
salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste

It's always a bit different each time, and it's super easy. Usually, I cook the chicken, onion, celery, and water together until the chicken is easy to tear apart with a couple of forks, then add the rest, simply because it's easier to break up the chicken that way, but I've also dumped it all in at once, and cook on low for 8+ hours.

Edited to add sometimes I toss some barely or lentils or even rice in here. Sometimes I've skipped the tomatoes, and done more water with some chicken bullion.

If you do beef, I do the exact same thing with that, except I cook the beef separately and drain it first.

Chicken Taco Soup/Stew

1 onion, chopped
1 (16 ounce) can chili beans
1 (15 ounce) can black beans
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer or Chicken Stock
2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)
sour cream (optional)
tortilla chips (optional)

Place the onion, chili beans, black beans, corn, tomato sauce, beer/stock, and diced tomatoes in a slow cooker. Add taco seasoning, and stir to blend. Lay chicken breasts on top of the mixture, pressing down slightly until just covered by the other ingredients. Set slow cooker for low heat, cover, and cook for 7 hours.

Remove chicken breasts from the soup, and allow to cool long enough to be handled. Shred the chicken using two forks, then stir the chicken back into the soup, and continue cooking for a few more minutes. Serve topped with shredded Cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips, if desired.

chicken breast
can of rotel
can of black beans

Cook until the chicken is falling apart, then shred it up, mix it back in and eat either by itself in a bowl, in a tortilla or over rice.

A whole chicken. Seriously, season that bad boy with whatever sounds good to you and toss it in the slow cooker, breast down, for about 5 hours on high or 7-8 on low. Tasty and juicy with leftovers! Plus you can chuck the bones back into the crock with the cooking juices and onioncelerygarliccarrot whatever, cover it with water, and cook it overnight (or longer) on low and have delicious rich homemade stock. Just strain it into a pitcher and stick it in the fridge for a few hours so the fat solidifies on top and you can lift it right off. Heat it up (it'll look like chicken jello when it's cold, that's how you know it was done right!), toss in some noodles or rice and the leftover chicken and some veggies and you've achieved soup!

One of our favorites:

chicken tacos

Put a couple frozen chicken breasts, a jar of salsa and a packet (you can use the whole packet or less, up to you) of taco seasoning in the crock pot. Cook on low for about 6 hrs. Shred the chicken, put it back in crock pot for about 30 min or so. Serve on taco shells. We top with low fat sour cream, mexcian cheese, lettuce and tomatoe. Sometimes we add corn.

We do something really similar, we just leverage already prepared soups. Recently I've been putting two large chicken breasts on the bottom, throwing in a can of Amy's Organic Chunky Vegetable Soup, a can of diced tomatoes and cooking it on low while I'm out at work all day. If we have any handy, sometimes I'll chop up some additional carrots, celery or small red potatoes and throw those in too. You can vary this up endlessly depending on which soup you choose (like you could use tortilla soup for more of a mexican flair). Easy! And it's so nice to have dinner ready when we get home from work.
