how to cook chicken in a slow cooker?

[musclephag]

What are some simple ways to cook chicken in a slow cooker? Can I just add some type of sauce like marinara sauce and let it cook? Do I need to add anything else?

Chicken thighs + canned tomatoes + onions.

There are heaps of recipes around.
Utilise google.

Oh hell yes. Chicken thighs are really good and juicy.

Slow cooking, I'd say just do what you want. How do we know what you like in terms of taste!

Yes, that would be completely fine. I'm sure there are plenty of fancy recipes out there, try it to your taste though. Less complexity and if you find you like chicken + marinara sauce plain like that, then do it.

Nothing beats breasts, nomsayin' , but yeah, thighs don't come out dry if a whee-bit over cooked as opposed to chicken breast.

I put in 2.5-3lb of chicken with a jar of salsa and a cup of rice. Add lots of hot sauce and water to just cover everything. Comes out perfect every time (just ate a serving a few minutes ago)

Not really a 'recipe;' more of a 'how-to' for kitchen beginners:

Spray a little pam (or wipe with a paper towel with a little olive oil on it) in the bottom of your crock pot to make cleanup effortless. Then rough-chop two stalks of celery, two carrots, and half a medium onion (none of this is critical, btw).






Place your chicken breasts on the veg (I usually cut large ones up into 4-oz portions).






Here's a 'sure-fire' seasoning blend that will work well with just about anything; salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and parsley.







Seasoned-up, and ready to roll.

Cooking times will vary a bit between various crock pot manufacturers; consult your owner's manual. Generally though, for the pictured portions, 'high' for 2-3 hours or 'low' for 5-6 hours should be plenty as long as the lid is kept in place for the duration of the cooking time. If in doubt, take out one of the pieces, and cut into the center of it. If there's no pink, it's done.

While the vegetables can be eaten, they're usually pretty tasteless after the long cook time; they're in there simply to provide some flavor to the chicken, and can be discarded after cooking the chicken.



Note also that the pot is sitting on the stove top simply because that was the best-lighted location for the pics. DO NOT attempt to use such a pot in anything other than the Crock Pot base it came with.

On a plate, for dinner.
