We use "Fix-it and Forget-It Lightly" for a lot of our crock pot cooking. I'm making Healthy Chicken from the book for supper tonight...3.5 lb whole chicken cut up in pieces, coat it with skim milk and finely crushed corn or rice cereal, salt and pepper, then cook on high for 3.5-4 hrs.0

I make Scalloped Potatoes in mine all the time. It is supposed to serve 12
- 1 cup sour cream
- black pepper (to taste)
- 1 can condensed cream of potato soup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 lb small red potatoes
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese or cheese blend
- 1/2 pound of meat (optional)
Grease/Pam the crock well. Mix soup, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and sour cream together in a bowl until well blended. I'm more of a one bowl kind of girl so I just dump everything in the crock-pot at once and give it a good stir instead of layering it. Cook on high for 3-4 hours, low 7-8 hours or until the potatoes are done.
I can't give you the calorie count because I just don't know it. I use low sodium, low fat everything and it comes out fantastic. It is very easy to adjust for the number of people being served. This is DH's favorite meal so we tend to have it rather often, with a package of cubed ham added in. Sometimes I toss in ring bologna or crisp bacon. Served with a nice side salad this makes a complete meal.0 -

Comfort chicken for the indifferent cook.
4-6 lb roasting chicken depends on the size of your crock pot
vegetables: number and type depend on how many people to feed and what they are willing to eat.
For example, potatoes, onion, carrots, celery
Place vegetables in bottom of crock pot to form a base for the chicken. Slice potatoes and arrange around the bottom of the crock pot around the edge.. Cut carrots and/or celery to fit into center of the ring formed by the potatoes (if the pot is big enough or the carrots small enough, there is no need to cut the carrots),
Place chicken on top of vegetables.
Cook on high for 6 to 8 hours or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 180 degrees F. Carefully lift the chicken from the pot to a serving plate (it may collapse in a heap on the plate). Spoon out the vegetables from the crock pot for serving. Reserve the liquid in the pot for making soup.0
