    I would be SO interested in this, I love my crock pot and the kids love chicken...so anything really that combines the two would be awesome.

    I make what I call a healthier vs. of a rotisserie chicken like you would buy at the store. Just take a 4-5lb bird you will need about a 6 ct. crock pot. Clean the chicken off, cut the neck etc. Mix your favorite seasonings in a bowl before hand, then rub it all over the chicken. Tuck the chicken in completely in the bottom of the crock, cook on high for 4-5 hrs or on low for 8. I try not to do the whole 8hrs on low, found the chicken was way to tender. So I think its best at 4/5hrs on high. The recipe calls for taking the skin off. I tried this the other night and the chicken was way dry. Also, make sure after about 1hr you drain the juices out that also helped to not make it to tender. Hope this helped!

    You can also put chickan and salsa in a crock pot. Let it cook on low all day. It will be nice and tender and perfect for any side you choose or stick it in a tortilla with veggies. Yum!

    make pretzel chicken. its really easy crush pretzels up, dipped chicken in egg whites, dip chicken in pretzels. bake at 350 for around 15 minutes (depends on size and thickness of chicken. i cut mine into strips for easy dipping for kids). serve with honey mustard and veggies. its yummy and super fast.

    Put 4-6 frozen chicken breasts in crockpot. Add jar of salsa, a can of drained black beans, and a bag of frozen corn. Put on low for 6 hours. Take a brick of cream cheese and put on top, turn the crock pot off, let sit for 20 minutes. Mix all together (chicken will fall apart and it all gets creamy).

    Serve with tortillas, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, etc...

    Also you could add frozen Mexican vegetables medly (or just more vegetables as you have them).

    Not sure what the calories are - it would depend on your cream cheese selection, etc...

    How much liquid do you cover the chicken with?

    If you are referring to my recipe, you don't need to add any liquid other then the ingredients in the recipe. It ends up pretty moist.

    One of my fav recipes!:

    Pineapple Black Bean Chicken

    5 or 6 chicken breasts
    1 jar of salsa
    1-2 cups fresh of canned diced pineapple
    1 can of black beans-drained

    I usually put it in the crock pot in the morning on low and then shred it later

    So good with just lettuce or on corn tortillas!

    Toss a few chicken breasts in the cooker. Add a packet of taco seasoning. Cook. Shred.
    I like to use this on taco salad, on a tostada with black beans and l.f. cheese, or on a baked potato.

    Shredded BBQ Chicken Sandwich

    1 1/4 pound bonesless, skinless chicken breast
    1 c. bbq sauce
    1/2 medium onion, diced
    1/2 tsp. fresh cracked pepper

    Throw it all in the slow cooker, low 6-8 hours OR high 4-5 (depends on the size of the breasts, I use chicken tenders and it doesnt take more than 4). About 30 minutes before serving reach into the crock pot with 2 forks and shred up the chicken.


    I think its around 100-120 cal for a 1/4 c. serving of shredded chicken... I serve it on a hamburger bun.
