Chicken And Rice Crock Pot Recipes Biography

Source(google.com.pk)
The phrase "a chicken in every pot" has been repeated throughout history, beginning with King Henry IV in France. The words promise good times, with enough to eat and time to relax and enjoy it. These days, most people cook their chicken in a crockpot.

The crockpot is probably the best time saver in the kitchen today. You can throw in a few ingredients, turn it on, leave the house all day, and come home to a home filled with incredible scents and a complete hot dinner waiting for you. Combine your crock pot with chicken for fabulous meals.

There are some tips for cooking chicken in your slow cooker. You'll find that many crockpot recipes that cook for 8-10 hours will call for chicken thighs or legs. Chicken breast meat can become tough and dry when cooked for longer than 6 hours on low. Using boneless chicken thighs will not only solve this problem, but this cut of meat is cheaper than chicken breasts and has a richer flavor. However, if your family prefers white meat, just make sure to cook for a shorter period of time and everything should turn out perfectly. Be sure, if you have a newer crockpot, you watch the cooking time carefully. The chicken breasts may be done in as little as 4 hours! Test with a food thermometer. Chicken breasts are done at 160 degrees F; thighs and drumsticks at 165 degrees F.

Bone-in and boneless chicken have different cooking requirements. Chicken cooked on the bone takes longer to cook, and is also less likely to overcook. Check boneless, skinless thigh, drumstick, and breast meat for doneness earlier. Most crockpot recipes call for removing the skin, because it adds fat and doesn't become crisp enough to be appetizing.

Vegetables in these recipe should go into the bottom of the crockpot, with the meat on top because vegetables cook more slowly than meat. This arrangement will also help prevent the chicken from overcooking. If you choose to leave the skin on your chicken, brown it first in a skillet in olive oil to help improve the appearance of the finished dish.

The rice steals the show in this easy slow cooker chicken chicken dinner.  Omit the chicken and make as a side!

I bought yet another slow cooker and I'm totally in love with this appliance!

It's the Casserole Crock put out by the original Crock Pot folks. It was on a price rollback in my local Walmart last time I was in.  I've been eyeing this for quite a while now since I make a ton of casseroles.  I kept telling myself I already have 3 slow cookers and buying another was pure folly. However, I had my nephew visiting with me from UK and that guy is such an enabler. He practically ordered me to get it when we saw it on display.  The rest is history.

The rice is the star here!

Anyway, I just keep wanting to use the thing.  I made Slow Cooker Donut Bread Pudding (recipe coming soon!) for guests the other night using my new favorite toy and I plan a lasagna--which it's perfect for--later in the week.

I've already talked enough about my new "love" so onto the chicken--

The slow cooker came with a Campbell's booklet of recipes. You know, the USUAL, but one caught my eye was a chicken recipe done with rice.  Obviously the photo of this was of something oven baked, but I didn't like the idea of boneless skinless breasts in this especially when the instructions did not say anything about browning.  And it was just basic bland ingredients like plain rice and cream of mushroom soup...sorry, that dish probably not only tasted bland as heck but it would be pretty creepy to look at too--all white.  NO THANKS.

So I just rolled with that idea and made the sauce more savory with the addition of onions, garlic and twice the amount of mushrooms--and I also used jasmine rice for it's superb flavor.  I added some Romano cheese too for an additional oomph.  Plus more milk for creaminess (I had my fingers crossed on that one that it would have the desired effect--it did).  I also browned the chicken and I used drumsticks because I had a lot of them and they slow cook so well.

Creamy and delicious

This turned out fantastic!  So much so that I thought you could eliminate the chicken entirely and just make the rice as a holiday side dish!
