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. And almost everyone loves chicken, so these crockpot recipes will be a hit.
There are some tips for cooking chicken in the crockpot. 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 mushy and soft 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. Vegetables in these recipe should go into the bottom of the crockpot, with the meat on top. 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.
