This is the easiest dinner I can even think of. You may think you need a recipe to successfully crock-pot, but it really is a simple process requiring little thought depending on what you are cooking. Today we look at chicken.
When I do chicken in the crock-pot, I take whatever chicken or turkey was the cheapest, be it bone-in chicken breast or turkey wings (surprisingly good) or what have you, then spray the crock-pot of choice with spray or put 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil or oil of choice in the bottom. Place in the chicken pieces, any chopped vegetables you may want, then you can use a can of soup and a touch of water to add in for flavour and moisture.
Mushroom soup works well, and you can add a tablespoon or so of Mrs.dash, parsley or your spice of choice to the soup before covering the chicken. If you have the pot mostly full, you may want a second can of soup, but do not add a lot of water, it doesn't escape the pot and you will end up with soup instead.
If you want the chicken to have a bit of crispness on top, don't fill with soup over the chicken level, and put the veggies on the bottom. For moister chicken, veggies on top and coat with soup. All you have to do now is turn on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. This will depend on your unit, but if you are worried go to the max on low, if you are not, just pick a time that best suites your dinner time. I find it depends when I can get my kid down for a nap and can get to actually throwing things in the pot.
