Roasted chicken in a slow cooker
1 chicken, rinsed and patted dry
seasoning- use whatever you like - I usually use lemon pepper and garlic salt, and sometimes get more creative. Today I used a little pepper, onion powder, garlic salt, and paprika.
season your chicken- in the cavity, and on the outside, place in the slow cooker breast side up
I usually drizzle a little EVOO on the chicken, and maybe give a brief rub
1/2 cup of white wine
(on the liquid side- I tried the recipe with 1 cup of water, then changed it to 1/2 c of white wine, 1/2 cup of water, then just went a heaping 1/2 cup of white wine, and add water if I need to).
cook in slow cooker on high for 1 hour, then on low 6-8 hours, until chicken is done- this will depend on how big the bird is, and your slow cooker.

Taco Soup in the slow cooker (AKA: Crockpot)
I do this one in the slow cooker - you can make it vegetarian - just omit the meat, I've made it both ways.
Brown 1 pound of ground turkey, drain off fat, dump into slow cooker.
Add:
1 can of corn (drained)
1 can of Creamed Corn
1 can of Rotel
1 can of stewed tomatoes
2 cans of beans (your choice- sometimes I do red kidney chili beans, sometimes white beans, sometimes I get the S & W beans with chipotle seasoning on them)
1 packet of Taco Seasoning
2 soup cans (from the corn or beans) of water
Mix well, and cook on low all day - your kitchen will smell AWESOME!!!
I serve with sour cream, Juanita's chips, shredded cheese, and taco toppings (fresh tomatoes, onions, etc).
Hubs loves this soup, and when coming home for dinner can smell it outside and is excited for dinner.1 -
Curry Chicken in the Slow Cooker
I made mine with Thighs- no skin, and bone-in, but the recipe called for boneless thighs that were quartered, and I just put the thighs in as they were.. I think it tasted okay ;}
1 1/2 pounds of chicken ( I just put in 4 thighs without any skin)
3-4 potatoes
1 apple
1 can chicken broth
2 TBSP curry
I chopped up the apple (after being cored) and left the "skin" on, peeled the potatoes and cut them into chunks (you want about 2 cups or more) and mix that all together with the chicken, and curry and chicken broth- I put it in the slow cooker and mixed in there, and put on high for about 5 hours, and then served with rice- normally would avoid the rice with the potato factor, but my boys aren't big on eating everything yet- so getting them to try a bite of everything, and wasn't sure if the curry would be too spicy for them. Thinking next time I'll add more veggies, like carrots, celery, etc. The recipe also said you could cook on low for about 8-9 hours I think, but I didn't have that much time after church/Sunday School.
Sorry, I don't have a calorie count on this.0 -

My crock pot broke. :frown:
That taco soup sounds AWESOME though. Maybe time to invest in a new one.0 -
This came on perfect timing. I was just wondering what I could make with my Crockpot yesterday...couldn't find my crockpot recipe book, so I'll try some of these recipes out.0

So I forgot to start the curry chicken earlier today and totally cheated and made it on the stove in about 45 minutes. It was great, I used breasts instead of thighs though. Thanks for the recipe!0
