   I have two books that you should look for at your local bookstore. The first is called: Fix it and Forget it, they have over 100 recipes for slow cookers, and have entire sections devoted just for chicken, or pork etc. The other one is 5 ingredient slow cooker recipes. I’ve never made a bad meal out of either of these books, and there are a lot of choices in them.
