Bumping for later - so many here sound amazing!! Thanks for all of your posts!

Thanks

Crockpot chicken tacos
3 frozen chicken breasts
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
1 can rotel
1 can corn drained
1 package of taco seasoning
Cook on low 8 to 10 hours (mine cooks on low for 8 and then the crockpot automatically goes to keep warm)
Shred with fork when you get home. Serve in taco shells with your fixings or make nachos out of it (i'm guessing the nachos are far worse though with the chips)

Crockpot BBQ Chicken Wraps
3 frozen chicken breasts
3/4 bottle bbq sauce (I just cover the chicken breasts fairly well)
Diced onion (omit if you dislike)
a little brown sugar
Cook on low 8 hours or so.
Shred with fork
Serve on tortillas with a slice of cheese

Crockpot chicken enchiladas
3 frozen chicken breasts
1 can enchilada sauce
Diced onion (omit if you want)
1 can cream of chicken soup (can be omitted so its a healthier meal)
Cook on low 8 hours or so
Shred with fork
Wrap in tortillas and place in greased baking dish
You can add jalapenos and olives inside tortillas if you like them.
Cover with the leftover sauce from crockpot or get another can of enchilada sauce
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes
Sprinkle with some cheese (omit for healthier option)

Crokcpot turkey breast
Buy a Turkey Breast and let it thaw (make sure you take the gravy packet out!)
1 Can cranberry jellied sauce
1 package Lipton Onion Soup Mix
2 tablespoons butter
a splash of orange juice (less thank 1/4 cup)
I know it sounds weird but it is one of the best recipes for turkey breast!

Crockpot Chicken Enchilada chili
Chicken breasts diced and cooked
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
1 can corn drained
1 can red kidney beans
1 can chili beans
1 can enchilada sauce
diced onion
diced olives
diced jalapenos or green chilis (depends on how spicy you like it)

3 lbs chicken breasts
1 bottle of Franks Red Hot. hot sauce
1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch dry mix

Cook on low for 6-8 hours

Shred the chicken, add in one tablespoon of butter and mix.

I usually put this on a roll with homeade coleslaw. It is so easy and so good!

This sounds good!

I meant to say add sour cream and tortilla chips for your husband!

Yum! Bump for later

Naomibabes took the words right out of my mouth - BBQ Pulled Pork is just awesome from a slow cooker. Google Simon Rimmers Pulled Pork and Coleslaw recipe from Channel 4, it's the best one I've tried!

You may also want to try a recipe for proper Corned Beef that my fiancee gave me (nothing like the tinned stuff full of fat we normally see in the UK!).
Corned Beef & Cabbage Recipe
Ingredients:
1 medium onion, cut into wedges
4 large red potatoes, quartered
1 pound baby carrots (I know you hate them so if you like, leave them out)
3 cups water
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 corned beef brisket with spice packet (2-1/2 to 3 pounds), cut in half.
1 small head cabbage, cut into wedges
Method:
Place the onion, potatoes, and carrots in a 5-qt slow cooker.
Combine the water, garlic, bay leaf, sugar, vinegar, pepper, and contents of spice packet (You can use a small pack of Pickling Spices for this); pour over vegetables.
Top with brisket and cabbage.
Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until meat and vegetables are tender.
Remove bay leaf before serving.
Yield 6-8 servings.

Yes it's 6-8 servings but you can always use a smaller cut of beef and reduce the rest of the ingredients.

Enjoy.

bump! yum

When you "bump" a thread, it brings it topic to the top of the forum board.

I make apricot chicken I coat the chicken breast or pieces in flour and brown in pan ( can omit browning the chicken ) put meat in slow cooker add apricot nectar and 1-2 packets of dry french onion soup and set and forget my family favourite serve with mash potato or steamed rice, you can also add sliced onion and dried apricots to the slow cooker, usually I add dried apricots about an hr before serving

What about just cutting a recipe in half or a quarter if you really want to try it?

I have a few go-to crock pot chicken recipes:
Santa-Fe Chicken:
Small Jar of Salsa (Your choice of flavor)
1 Can Black Beans (Drained)
1 Can Corn (Drained)
Mix together, then place three chicken breasts on top of mixture
Cook 8-10 hours on low
Shred chicken and serve over rice or in tortillas.


Rotisserie Chicken:
1 whole chicken
Pam Cooking Spray
Seasoning salt of chicken rub (your choice of flavor - I prefer Cajun chicken rub)
Ball up aluminum foil in the bottom of the crock pot, place whole chicken on rolled up foil. Spray whole chicken with Pam Cooking spray and sprinkle with seasoning salt or chicken rub. Cook 8-10 hours on low.
Chicken is very moist and its cheap to make if you get the chicken on sale.

We eat a lot of chicken as well and the kids really like these.
