How to make Chicken Crockpot meals: Chicken Crockpot recipes and tips

CHICKEN CROCKPOT BENEFITS
1) The crock pot offers "all-day cooking without looking." Most meat and vegetable combinations can cook for 8 to 10 hours unattended.
2) Food doesn't overcook or burn if left longer than required. Food cooked slowly will be more tender after prolonged cooking. Liquids do not boil away as in conventional methods of cooking.
3) One-step preparation is convenient. Simply put all ingredients in the crock and cook. Exception would be adding milk, cream or sour cream during the last hour.
4) Simmered foods taste better than boiled foods because more natural juices and flavours of food are retained. Keep the cover
on!!! Every time the lid is lifted, add 15-20 minutes to the overall cooking time.
5) The crock pot is economical to operate. Low wattage over an extended period costs less than high wattage for a short time.
6) A wide variety of foods can be prepared. Less tender cuts of meat cook with less shrinkage and therefore, are moist and tender.
7) Food is heated, but not the kitchen. Clean up is simple if the crock pot is stoneware and is removable.
