Can you provide crock pot chicken recipes?
I really hate cooking..i mean really hate not only preparing the food but having to stand there and cook it. Last thing I want to do after work is have to do more work. I live alone and I found out that I dont mind preparing some ingredients and then tossing them into my large crock pot in the morning and have dinner waiting for me when I get home. 🙂 I’ve been making some chicken soup and tonight i made some kind of chicken with rice stew.
So if anyone can provide some chicken and maybe beef or lamb recipes would be appreciated.
Btw what do you use to keep food from sticking to the walls of the crock pot?
Also I’m diabetic so the recipes need to be free of the following:
Sugar, honey, molasses, syrups, brown sugar and anything thats like sugar related. I can use substitues but I will need to know how much Splenda or Stevia to use.
I’m in the USA(arizona) so can only shop for items in this country.
thank you very much!
Oh my god you people are fantastic!! I’m getting hungry and im going to try these tonight! How do i pick the right one to vote on?

I just made a new crockpot chicken recipe over the weekend. It is so easy. Put your chicken (frozen if you want) in the bottom of the crockpot. Either use grated cheese or I used Velvetta cut in chunks. Put over chicken. Then pour a can of diced tomatoes and a can of Rotel. Cook on low 8-9 hrs or 3-4 hrs on high. I fixed a box of Old El Paso Chessy Mexican Rice to put the chicken and the “sauce” over. It was really good. You could thicken the sauce a little if you wanted to. Hope you enjoy this easy, but great tasting recipe. By the way, it’s not real spicy.

Here are two great sites for tons of diabetic recipes for the crockpot. I am sure you will find enough to keep you well fed for a while. Usually the recipes make more than you need for a meal or two so consider freezing portions to re-head easily in your microwave on days when you don’t want to do a lot of cooking. I find “batch” cooking a great way to cook only a few times a month. Sometimes on the weekend I have one dish in a crockpot, one or two things roasting or cooking in the oven, etc. Then I keep enough out for meals throughout the week and package the rest for another time during the month.
Hope these sites help you.

I think this is the one you are looking for….
All-Purpose Crock Pot Chicken
I discovered this one a few weeks ago. I started out trying to make chicken and rice and ended up with this. It is very tender and very good. An excellent make-ahead dish for summer. All the work is done before the crock pot is even warm. This is excellent for fajitas, pasta salads, chicken salad, soup, added to beans and rice, just laying on bread for chicken sandwiches, or just eating cold.
8 servings
½ day prep
INGREDIENTS
1 chicken (in any quantity, size, shape. usually 2-4 lb.)
cajun-louisiana seasoning blend (Any brand, i.e. Tony Chachere’s)
lemon pepper
1 dash salt
bell peppers
celery, Thinly-sliced
carrots, Thinly-sliced
green onions, Thinly-sliced
garlic, Thinly-sliced
water (to cover chicken)
DIRECTIONS
If using thigh portions or a cut up fryer, etc, remove all skin and as much fat as possible. I boil the skins with garlic for the dog.
There is no need to bone the chicken.
Put about 1/4 inch water in the slow cooker.
Rinse the chicken well, getting into the crevices, and sprinkle with the Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Go easy at first; this is NOT low-salt and it tends to be a little spicy.
I start immediately placing the chicken in the slow cooker.
I rinse one piece, season both sides, and layer it in the pot. When you are done seasoning all the chicken (I generally do 2-3 lbs in a batch; less is not worth the time), cover the pot and let the chicken stand for 30 minutes.
At the end of that time, cover the chicken fully with water (don’t skimp) and set the cooker on “Low.” Cooking time is up to you.
A minimum of 8-10 hours is what I recommend. I usually set the chicken cooking in an afternoon, and let it cook overnight. Often it will cook for 12-24 hours.
This is an excellent dish for those of us who never learned to properly debone a chicken 😉 At the end of the cooking time, merely pull out the chicken pieces and separate the bones from the meat. It will literally fall apart. Save the broth for adding to mashed potatoes, gravy, rice or soup.
You will have a good deal of chicken here. Separate into smaller portions and freeze.
