Looking for a good recipe for chicken in a crockpot....



Recommended Posts

Just ordered my first crockpot!!! Now I need recipes. I've done a search but there are so many scattered posts.

Looking for a recipe for chicken that I can get my whole family to eat with me. Not into adding creamy condensed Soups to it. A nice italian flavor would be great. I really loved the Walden Farms no calorie dressing my nutritionist recommended (italian with sundried tomatoes) but have no idea how to incorporate that into a crockpot recipe.

Anyone have any they can share? Thanks!

I like to add black Beans, corn, chicken broth, spicy salsa, and 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-7 hours. Pull the chicken out and shred it and add it back into the Soup for about 30 minutes. Top with sour cream, cheese, avocado, or tortilla chips for AMAZING tortilla chicken soup. You can also just put the chicken in and dump a bottle of BBQ Sauce over them, cooking for the same amount of time as the soup. Shred the chicken and you have pulled bbq chicken for sandwiches, wraps, etc. I love my crock pot!

Salsa Chicken: Put chicken in crockpot and cover with salsa or rotel.

You can also add taco seasoning, corn, and black Beans to this and shred when done and eat plain or in a tortilla.

chicken Adobo: (someone on here had an authentic recipe...i dont think mine is) 3 lb of Chicken breasts (or other parts), 1/2 cup of vinegar, 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 6-8 crushed garlic cloves. cook on low for 8 hours. You can also add vegtables to this (i.e. carrots, onion, cabbage). To tone down the tang you can add 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Serve over rice.

This looked yummy and may be my next try....after crock pot stuffed cabbage.

Crock Pot Thyme Chicken

Ingredients

2 cup chicken stock

½ cup white wine

½ tbl dried thyme

1 clove garlic (minced)

1 lemon (cut in half)

3 lbs (1.5kg) Chicken Pieces

Method

1. Place everything except the lemon and chicken in the Crock Pot.

2. Give the lemon a bit of a squeeze into the crock and then add the entire lemon (yes the entire thing).

3. Mix it all together.

4. Add the chicken and stir around as best you can to coat all in the liquid.

5. Cook on low for 7-8 hours (see note above).

6. To serve I poured out some of the liquid into a saucepan, added about a tablespoon of corn starch (cornflour) that was disolved in Water and brought it to the boil for a thick, thyme gravy.

Notes Serves 4-6 Serve with rice or mased potato and vegetables.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
