3 Delicious Crock Pot Chicken Recipes

Are you looking for some new ways to cook chicken without spending a lot of time in your kitchen? If so, I have 3 delicious chicken recipes to share with you!

These recipes are all made in the crock pot (slow cooker). They only take a few minutes to prepare. If you are a busy mom, I think you will enjoy these recipes.

Crock Pot Cooking Tips

Fill your slow cooker at least 1/2 full for the best slow cooking results.

Tender vegetables such as fresh mushrooms, tomatoes or zucchini will only need to be added for the last 45 minutes of cooking time, otherwise you could over cook them.

To assure even cooking of meat, be sure there is some space between the pieces to allow for circulation of heat and seasonings.

Some vegetables, especially onions and carrots, often take longer to cook than meat. Always place them at the bottom of the slow cooker.

Chicken Marengo

2 1/2 to 3 lb. frying chicken, cut up
1 (1 1/2 oz) pkg. spaghetti sauce mix
1/2 c. dry white wine
2 fresh tomatoes, quartered
1/4 lb. fresh mushrooms

Place chicken parts in crock pot. Combine dry spaghetti mix with wine; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours. Turn control to high; add tomatoes and mushrooms. Cover, cook on high for 40 additional minutes.

Zucchini Chicken

1 frying chicken, cut up
1 tsp. seasoned salt
1/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 lb. zucchini, cut into thin slices
1/2 c. chicken bouillon
1 (4 oz.) can mushrooms, drained

Sprinkle chicken with seasoned salt. Combine flour, salt, pepper, cheese and paprika; coat chicken with mixture. Place zucchini in bottom of crock pot. Pour bouillon over zucchini. Arrange coated chicken on top. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until tender. Turn to high and add mushrooms and cook for an addition 15-20 minutes.

1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
2 (10.75-oz.) cans condensed cream of chicken soup

getting gunk out of large pot - mineral build up?

I keep a pot of water simmering on my stove to help with humidity (it helps the house feel warmer) - but after a few days of this the pot is covered with white film that I haven't been able to remove yet - what is this stuff - and how do I get it off my stainless steel pots? Any "wow" tricks?

Thanks all - be well - peace

Use CLR. The white build up is mineral salts in the water that are left are boiling. CLR has Muriatic Acid in it that will break it down and clean it off the S/S pot. Don't forget to use gloves & you can get CLR at Home Depot
