Italian Chicken is one of our favorites. Love coming home to a warm dinner ready in my crock pot on a cold day, and love not heating up my house by using the oven on a hot day so we use this recipe year round.
Put boneless chicken breasts (it's fine if you forget and they're still frozen) in your crock pot. Pour on a can of stewed or diced tomatoes. Top with sliced onion and bell peppers. Season with garlic (or garlic powder) and a dried Italian seasoning blend or use basil and oregano. Let it cook on low all day. When you get home from work there will be quite a bit of liquid in your crock pot, drain it off and use the liquid to make rice or quinoa.
You can also other veggies, we like to add peas, and when the garden has an abundance we toss in zucchini.0 -

I just recently tried this and it worked quite well.
Aluminum foil
Whole chicken
Seasonings
Ball up 4 large squares of aluminum foil and set in the bottom of your slow cooker. Rinse, pat dry and season chicken. Place on top of foil. Let cook on high 4 hours or low for about 6. (Chicken was thawed, not frozen)
I've also used this recipe; but just a warning....larger chicken's can take much longer. Also have used can lids off (home canning types) stacked in the bottom versus using a lot of foil.0 -
Slow Cooker Applesauce:
8 medium-size cooking apples

Sugar (optional, up to 1/2 cup depending on taste)
Cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves (optional)
Peel, core and slice apples. Place apples and water into slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours. Add sugar and spices to taste.0 -

So many great ideas! I mostly use my crockpot for pulled chicken and turkey chili. Looks like I need to branch out!
Pulled Chicken
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Tomato paste
Blackstrap molasses
Worcestershire sauce
Apple cider vinegar
Dry mustard
Minced garlic
Onion powder
Fresh black pepper
Cholula (or similar) hot sauce
Sugar (Any sweetener you prefer)
Sea salt (optional)
Liquid smoke (optional)
It's just an ingredient list because I adjust amounts according to my tastes, but one thigh per serving works for my family. Cook for several hours, shred, return to liquid. Serve on sandwich rolls, over baked potatoes, rice, on a salad, whatever... Always a big hit with my crew.0 -

I just made this yesterday.
Center cut boneless pork loin.
1 - jar of hot (use mild if you wish) banana peppers.
Put the roast in the crock pot. Empty the jar of peppers on top. (juice and all)
Cook on high 6 hours.
Remove roast from crock pot. (leave peppers and juice in the crock pot)
Shred the roast with 2 forks.
Return to crock pot and cook for one more hour.
I served it on 90 calorie wheat buns with fresh corn on the cob on the side.
Really good.0 -

Garlic Chicken
-Season chicken however you like (I use salt, pepper & badia complete seasoning)
-Take lemon, stuff inside chicken
-Take 30-40 cloves of garlic (whole, unwrapped) and put them in the bottom of the crock pot
-Put a cup or two worth of chicken broth in the bottom of the crock pot (to keep things moist)
Low 6-8 hours, High 4-6 hours.
Delicious.
what a great way to try garlic chicken, I'm looking forward to this0
