Do anyone know any recipes for boneless skinless chicken thighs in the crockpot? I bought some today and would really like to cook them but I don't know what to do with them?

    McCormick has a seasoning mix for "Italian Herb Chicken".
    All you add is canned tomatoes, mushrooms and chicken, I always use chicken thighs for that and it's sooo yummy. They practically fall apart in the end, so tender!
    (Actually that will be our dinner tonight, with some pasta and cheesy garlic bread)

    Just cook them in buffalo sauce for buffalo chicken. Or cook them in salse with black beans and jalepenos is really good too.

    Chicken Cacciatore from skinnytaste.com - it's very good! It calls for bone in but I used boneless when I made it and it was YUMMY. Here is the recipe copied from the site:

    Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore
    www.skinnytaste.com
    Servings: 8 • Size: 1 thigh, 1/2 cup sauce, veggies • Old Points: 3 pts • Points+: 4 pts*
    Calories: 126.2 • Fat: 2.8 g • Protein: 13.9 g • Carb: 9.2 g • Fiber: 0.6 g • Sugar: 4.1 g
    Sodium: 271.6 mg (without salt)



    Ingredients:


    8 chicken thighs, with the bone, skin removed
    28 oz can crushed tomatoes (Tuttorosso my favorite!)
    1/2 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
    1/2 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
    1/2 large onion, sliced
    1 tsp dried oregano
    1 bay leaf
    salt and fresh pepper to taste
    1/4 cup fresh herbs such as basil or parsley for topping

    Directions:

    Quick method: Season chicken with salt and black pepper and place in the slow cooker. Pour tomatoes over the chicken, top with onions and peppers, add oregano, bay leaf, salt and pepper, give it a quick stir and cover. Set crock pot to LOW 8 hours or HIGH 4 hours. When the timer beeps, remove lid and keep the crock pot on HIGH one hour to help it thicken.

    Better method but requires more prep: Heat a large skillet over medium-high, lightly spray with oil (I use my Misto) and brown chicken on both sides a few minutes, season with salt and pepper. Add to the slow cooker. To the skillet, spray with a little more oil and add onions and peppers. Sauté until juices release and the vegetables become golden, a few minutes.

    Add to the slow cooker. Pour tomatoes over the chicken and vegetables, add oregano, bay leaf, salt and pepper, give it a quick stir and cover. Set crock pot to LOW 8 hours or HIGH 4 hours.

    Remove bay leaf, adjust salt and pepper and enjoy!

    I do this one usually with chicken breasts.... but I don't see why you can't replace the breasts with thighs.

    1 can of Corn
    1 can of Black Beans
    1 can Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies
    1 package Ranch - Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix (Dry Powder)
    1 onion - diced
    1 tsp Chili powder
    2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (roughly 12 oz)
    1 package Cream Cheese

    The recipe for this is simple. Put all in the crockpot with the cream chese on top. Cook on low for 6-8 hours... then enjoy. :)

    Boneless skinless thighs are made for the crock pot--they stand up so much better than chicken breast to the slow cooking. Some of my favorites:

    --Pour a small can of green enchilada sauce over the thighs. Shred meat when done, use for tacos or burritos.

    --Half a bottle of barbecue sauce. Shred meat for pulled chicken sandwiches.

    --Cover thighs with one of Trader Joe's simmer sauces. Serve over rice, couscous, quinoa, whatever you have on hand that works.

    --Drizzle with honey mustard dressing (low fat works).

    --Add a can of pineapple, a few tablespoons of soy sauce, some garlic, some ginger, chili sauce if you like it hot. Serve over rice.

    --Just about any marinade or sauce that you can buy, make, or already have in your pantry. Remember that liquid won't cook down in a Crock Pot, so don't use a ton of it (half a cup, maybe more if you're using a lot of thighs).

    chicken adobo is my favorite --my husband is filipino. I may have to look into the cauliflower fried rice, cutting back on rice is tough.
