Slow Cooker Recipes

A whole mess of kale, butternut squash, a can of white beans, onion, celery, bay leaf, thyme, chili flakes, a dash of nutmeg, s/p, garlic, a box of veggie stock, and Soy Chorizo...it's under 300 and SO filling and tasty...favorite favorite.

Bumpity Bump..

I do one very similar to the chicken, black beans and salsa, but I also add corn. Its pretty tasty. The Weight Watchers Taco Soup is also Delish!

I got this recipe from a Slow Cooker cookbook.

Garlic Chicken and Potatoes
1chicken cut up (we use whatever pieces we have on hand- usually legs and thighs)
4 medium potatoes (peeled and quartered)
8 large garlic cloves (or 8 teaspoons of minced garlic)
1/4 melted butter
1/4 honey

Put potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker and place the chicken on top. Add garlic. Drizzle butter and honey on top. Cover and cook on low 5 to 6 hours or until chicken is tender and potatoes are cooked through. Serves 4

Note: We often add a few carrots and up the honey just a little. This is a family favorite.

I seemed to be recipe posting challenged. 1/4 cup of both butter and honey (I use Tastes Like Butter from Aldi)

BUMP

I made this (Garlic Chicken and Potatoes -posted above) and I also have shared this recipe with several folks. It is super simple and delicious. Those I have shared the recipe with totally agree!

:flowerforyou:

I have made this and it is very, very good and very , simple

The easiest crockpot recipe ever:

Boneless skinless chicken breast (I use 2)
1 can black beans
Salsa (I just pour some...maybe 2 cups?)

Put all ingredients in crock pot, crank it up and leave. Come home and chicken should easily shred apart. Stir and serve either on a tortilla or over a salad with sour cream and cheese (and other stuff like cilantro or more salsa if you prefer).
