Chicken......Again????

I love my crockpot and chicken does well in it. I will put chicken breast in the crockpot with bbq sauce and when I get home shredd it in the sauce. I also make chicken chili the same way but follow the McCormick spice packet. Oh and I also make shredded chicken tacos with either taco seasoning and a little water or salsa for more of a chunkiness.

look up some slow cooker recipes you can do a lot with it
i don't eat chicken but i make it for my boyfriend. in stir fry, fajitas, with pasta. he likes it cooked in olive oil with garlic and oregano sprinkled on as well. chicken breaded on a kaiser roll with swiss cheese and italian dressing

We boil water put the chicken in it for about 15 mins. Take it out and cut it but not all the way through. we then put Turkey bacon and cheese in the slit and seal it back with tooth picks and bake it at 400 for 20-25 mins. It very tender and juicy. One of our favorite meals

cacchiatore!

2 bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
1 medium onion, sliced into thin strips
2-5 cloves garlic, minced (depends on how much you like garlic!)
6lbs chicken (i use leg quarters or thighs, after removing the skin!)
*4 - 6 medium tomatoes, diced
basil, oregano, parsley, salt, pepper (to taste)

in a crock pot, spread out the peppers and onions on the bottom of the crock. place the chicken and garlic on top. mix tomatoes and seasoning and pour over chicken. low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours. serve over rice, spaghetti, or low-carb substitutes! enjoy!

* you can use cans of crushed tomatoes to save time and mess...just reduce the salt you add in.

edit: this recipe is a great base to work with. awesome add-ins could be: pepperoni, black olives, grilled aubergine, Italian sausage, mozzarella, spinach, pepperoncinis, capers...so many flavor options!

bragg's dressing and marinades - find at walmart or meijers they are organic and delish !!

Go boneless chick Breast and then shred it !!! Serve to taste!

I like to do this by thin slicing it while frozen... then when you're cooking it it will fall apart like pulled pork... add teriyaki sauce or gravy or whatever you like

Bump

bump!

Umm.. why so much chicken? What about fish, prawns, crabs, lobster, yabbies, oysters, mussels, calamari, octopus, cuttlefish, sea urchin, eel, pork, wild boar, beef, lamb, veal,croc, alligator, elk, emu, ostrich, turkey, llama, kangaroo, buffalo, frogs, snails, etc etc.. then there are all the vegetarian versions. I'd go nuts eating the same meat all the time.

Well, I guess it's a good thing that you didn't post this thread then. Since the OP is interested in chicken, THAT'S why so much chicken. why comment on a chicken thread if you aren't interested in chicken? I just don't get it.

OP, I have a pretty simple, quick recipe for you. It's basically a chicken quesadilla scramble, just the insides of a quesadilla without the added calories of a tortilla.

1 boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
Frozen or fresh peppers and onions, as much or as little as you prefer
Garlic salt, cumin and chili powder to taste

Toss the chicken in a pan on the stove, lightly oiled. Add your seasonings to taste. Let it cook through.
Add the peppers and onions and let them cook until tender. IF YOU USE FROZEN, note that you'll want to drain your pan before serving as they will create quite a bit of excess moisture that you don't want to serve on your plate.
Drain your pan if necessary and toss your mixture onto a plate.

I like to top mine with 2 tbsp of mild salsa and 1/4 cup of finely shredded mexican cheese. Absolutely delicious. The beautiful thing about this recipe is that it's extremely versatile and you can add or take away anything that you like. I gave this recipe to one person who said she added sauteed mushrooms to it and she loved it that way. This takes less than 10 minutes to throw together and is very filling. The portions above are for ONE person.

ETA: Approx 450 calories per serving depending on how many veggies you use. Sounds like a lot but you will be full for quite some time after eating this.
