EASY CHICKEN DELICIOUS: This one is a monthly cook at our house in the winter, very easy, 15 minute prep time.

-Enough thick boneless and skinless chicken breasts cut into thirds to cover bottom of crock pot.
-1/3 cup Pinot griggio or other white wine
-1 can each of cream of mushroom soup and cream of celery soup
-grated parmesan cheez
-salt, pepper, and paprika
-lemon juice

1.Season chicken coating evenly with seasonings.
2.Sprinkle enough lemon juice just to cover bottom of crock and then add chicken and sprinkle a little bit more to lightly cover top of chicken.
3.Mix soups, without adding water, and wine together and pour over chicken.
4.Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheez over top of all and cook.
5.Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours. My way is to cook on high for 3 hours and then switch to low for 2 hours.

ITALIAN PORK WITH MASHED SWEET POTATOES OR BUTTERNUT SQUASH


-1 tsp fennel seeds, crushed if you prefer
-.5 tsp oregano
-.5 tsp garlic powder
-.5 tsp paprika
-.25 tsp salt
-.25 tsp black pepper
-1.5-2 lb pork roast(I use a loin roast but any cut will do)
-1 lb sweet potatoes or butternut squash peeled and diced into 1-2" pieces
-1 cup chicken broth


Add potatoes/squash to the bottom of the crock pot and pour the chicken broth over it. Mix all dry ingredients and rub into pork roast. Place pork on top of potatoes/ squash and cook with the lid on. 4-5hrs on high, and 8-10hrs on low.

Strain potatoes/squash and mash. You can add butter etc. but you won't need to since the seasonings and flavor from the pork will have marinated the potatoes/squash.

Have to report, both were good! I could not believe how the chicken just fell apart. I really like that. I threw in some capers on my plate. Gonna add extra mushrooms next time, had a request from my daughter. I've done whole chickens in the crock, but never boneless/skinless...was really surprised how well it cooked.

Thanks, Tony~

No problem I got that one from my aunt a couple of years ago and it doesn't get much easier and tastier than that. I usually boil up some red skins and whip them with the skin on and add pepper jack cheez, butter, salt, and pepper. The soup that the chicken cooks in doubles a s a unique flavored gravy.

Not sure about being a good cook but I like to eat good food and I don't like to eat out so I am always messing around in the kitchen. My wife has worked afternoons since I met her so I had the choice about a decade ago to either get in the kitchen or keep crying about it and ordering out. I chose the kitchen.

I made a pretty good crock dinner last night~I never measure, so here is the ingredients. make to your liking.

lean, boneless pork country ribs~salted/peppered and put in bottom of crock.

garlic on top of the pork (could add some minced onion if you wanted, too)

canned mushrooms drained, on top again

top off with sauerkraut, if you like add a pinch or two of caraway seeds

pour a small amount of low sodium/low fat chicken broth in

I used a Auto setting (1 hr. on high, followed by low) and cooked until the pork was tender.


Serve with fresh mashed potatoes.

Lisa, that sounds yummy, I think I'll be trying that one soon

Ok, today I made a mixed beans/legume soup in the crock. We'll be eating for dinner tomorrow. It's gotta sit in fridge overnight and let the flavors really burst. The couple of sips I took tonight, it was good.

We'll be on a vegetable protein and fiber high all week, lol.

For the non-veg...
Honey baked Ham sells their ham bones (still with a lot of meat on them) and they make a fantastic soup. I use one to flavor split pea or lentil soups.

[ThreeCrabs]

I used smoked knuckles~it added a lot of flavor! Obviously my husband enjoyed it more than any of us...I think he ate about 3/4 of it.

I'm debating what kinda soup to do in the crock next...I love lemon lentil, but have only done it on the stove. Or maybe I should make a good vegetable soup...

I've used the honeybaked bones before, too. Adds a real nice flavor~
