Chicken Cacciatore

Allison Whitaker
Recipe by OurBestBites.com

1 lb. chicken breasts or chicken breasts and thighs, trimmed of fat and cut into bite-sized pieces

1/4 c. white flour

1 tsp. Kosher salt

1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

1/2 c. olive oil

1 onion, roughly chopped

5-6 cloves garlic, peeled and either crushed or halved

1 6-oz. can tomato paste

1 c. white wine, white cooking wine, or apple or white grape juice. I'll be honest with y'all, it tastes a whole lot better with wine. Just sayin'.

1 1/2 c. chicken broth

1/4 tsp. thyme

1/4 tsp. marjoram

1/2 tsp. salt (omit if using cooking wine; you may shrivel up and die if you add the salt in addition to cooking wine because cooking wine is treated with salt to make it undrinkable)

1 bay leaf

1 c. sliced mushrooms (or more if you love them. Mushrooms are divine in this dish!)

1 green bell pepper, chopped

Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, add onions and garlic and stir frequently until onions are tender and garlic is fragrant. Remove with a slotted spoon (this is why you need to keep the onion and garlic pieces big), shake off excess oil (you don't have to go crazy here, a little olive oil never killed anyone!), and transfer to your blender. Increase heat to medium-high.

In a large Ziploc bag, combine flour, 1 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. black pepper. Add chicken pieces, seal bag, and shake to coat pieces with flour. Dump the entire bag into the hot pan and stir quickly to prevent pieces from sticking together. Saute until chicken is golden. Remove chicken with slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Turn off the heat under the oil, lest you start a grease fire. I am NOT speaking from ANY kind of firsthand experience here... ;)

While chicken is draining, add wine, chicken broth, tomato paste, thyme, and marjoram to the onions and garlic in the blender. Blend until smooth. Place chicken and bay leaf in your slow cooker and then pour the sauce over the chicken. Place lid on slow cooker and cook on high for 3.5-4 hours. When you have about 1/2 hour to go, add the mushrooms and the chopped green pepper. Cook until mushrooms and pepper are tender. Remove bay leaf and serve over pasta.
Serves 6-8.

Fiesta Chicken

Lindsay Zockoll

4-5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 12-15 chicken tenders)

1-2 cups salsa

Place chicken breasts in crock pot. Pour chicken soup on top, then salsa on top of that, then sprinkle taco seasoning all over the top of that. Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 8-10 hours. Shred the meat and serve with taco fixings.
**I usually put my chicken in the crock pot when it is still frozen and it turns out great!

Shredded Chicken that can be frozen and used for any recipe that calls for pre-cooked chicken:

Lindsay Zockoll

6 -12 chicken breasts (use as many as you want and will fit in your crockpot)

1/2 cup water

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:

Place the chicken breasts in the crock pot, Mix water and spices together and pour over the chicken.

Cook on the low setting for 8-10 hours.

Remove chicken breasts, shred or pull the meat from bones, removing skin (it should all fall off easily at this point anyway!).

Place meat in individual freezer bags or containers and freeze until needed for recipes.

Defrost and add to any recipes that call for cooked chicken.

Great for casseroles, quesadillas, pizzas, burritos, pastas, soups, etc. or heat with BBQ sauce for hot barbecue chicken sandwiches.

Creamy Cooker Chicken

Lindsay Zockoll

1 envelope dry onion soup mix

2 cups sour cream

10 3/4 oz. can cream of mushroom soup

4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I usually only do 4, and then also chop up some potatoes and put those in to cook with the chicken as well)

Combine soup mix, sour cream and cream of mushroom in slow cooker. Add chicken (and potatoes, if desired), pushing it down so it is submerged in the sauce.

Cover, cook on low 8 hours.

Crock Pot Chicken

Amanda Weedman

4-5 boneless chicken breasts

16 oz. sour cream

1 can cream of chicken

1 t. each salt, pepper, and garlic salt

Mix everything except chicken together in crock pot. Add chicken; cook on low all day or on high for 3 hours. Serve over rice or noodles.

( I just throw in frozen chicken tenderloins, mix everything up, and dump it over them. And serve over rice. Goes great with Garlic Balsamic asparagus from OBB.)

Amanda Weedman

Place roast in crock pot. Combine chili sauce, soup mix, and soda in small bowl. Pour over roast or brisket. Place in slow cooker for 5-6 hours on low. (I always do 3 hours on high and add in the veggies, like potatoes, carrots, and onion before I pour the sauce over. And also save some sauce and make a gravy with it. It's even yummier with gravy!) (This recipe came from a book called 'Remedies for the I-don't-cook Syndrome'....that's right up my alley, eh?)
