Zesty Shredded Chicken Barbecue - Crockpot

 

Zesty Shredded Chicken Barbecue - in the Crockpot!

From the Crockin Girl Cookbook

 

Ingredients -

6 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, Frozen

1 (12 oz) bottle barbeque sauce (the flavor of your choice)

1/2 cup Italian salad dressing

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1-2 onions, sliced (I chunked mine)

Sandwich/Sub Rolls, Toasted (make sure you toast it... I didn't the first time and it wasn't the same!)

 

 

Place frozen chicken in the crockpot. It is ok if they sit on top of each other.

 

In a bowl mix together the barbeque sauce, Italian dressing, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce.

 

  Slice/dice desired amount of onions and put in crockpot.

  Pour barbeque mix over the chicken.

 

 

Cook on low for approximately 4 hours.

 

  Remove chicken and shred... You can use a fork to do this or... You can use my favorite method for shredding chicken... My KitchenAid mixer.

  Return chicken to crockpot and cook an additional 1-2 hours on low.

Put shredded chicken and onions on a TOASTED roll. Remember what I said... Make sure you toast it! You can also just eat the barbeque chicken and pass on all that bread too!

Chicken Taco Bowls

Chicken Taco Bowls

I had pin two different recipes... Here and Here... One was called a chili and the other a taco bowl and they both used the crockpot... But my chicken was already cooked... I took their ideas and made my own that I made without the crockpot.

Ingredients - 

2 cups shredded Chicken (I also had some broth with my chicken)

3 cups of Salsa

1 can black beans, drained

1/2 bag of frozen corn or 1 can of corn (I have made this twice and once used the frozen corn and once used the canned corn.)

1 Spoonful of Minced Garlic (I have a jar of minced garlic in the fridge and used a nice spoonful)

1 Tbsp Chili powder

1/2 Tbsp cumin

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/8 tsp red pepper flakes (you could also use cayenne pepper)

Salt to taste

Pepper to taste

Cooked rice (you could use white, brown, or Mexican)

Shredded Cheese of choice

Add all ingredients to pot...

Love all the colors from everything!

Stir and cook til warm. I let mine simmer on medium-low heat for about 20-25 minutes to let me flavors mix together.

Serve over rice and add toppings of choice (cheese, sour cream, green onions, cilantro, etc.)

Christy's Chili from Southern Plate Cookbook

Christy's Chili

This recipe comes from my Southern Plate Cookbook pg. 96 .

The Player

Ingredients - 

2 pounds ground meat (I used about 1 1/4)

One 29-ounce can kidney beans (with liquid) (I used 2 15.5 oz cans)

One 29-ounce can pinto beans (with liquid) (I used 2 15.5 oz cans)

One 29-ounce can tomato sauce

1 cup diced onions

1/2 cup diced green onions (I used a small can but can't remember the size)

3 medium tomatoes or one 29-ounce diced tomatoes (I used two bags of fresh tomatoes I had put up in the freezer this fall)

2 teaspoons salt

1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

2 cups water

3 tablespoons chili powder

1/4 cup diced celery

2 teaspoons ground cumin

Meat, Onions, Celery, and Green Chillies

Seasonings

All the beans

Tomatoes, Tomato Sauce and Water to top off the crockpot

All done

All ready to eat topped with cheese and sour cream

Instructions - 

Brown the ground meat and drain off fat. (This time I didn't cook the onions with the ground meat but next time I will cook the onions some with the meat because they didn't all cook completely in the crockpot.)

In a large pot or crockpot (I used a crockpot), combine the ground meat with the remaining ingredients.

If cooking in a pot, bring to simmer over a low heat and cook, stirring every 15 minutes, for 2-3 hours.

If cooking in a crockpot, stir to combine and cover.

Cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. (For mine, I cooked it on high for 2 hours and on low for 4 more hours)

Top how you like your chili and ENJOY!

Crockin Girls Pizza - from Crockin Girls Slow Cookin Companion Cookbook

Crockin Girls Pizza

This recipe can be found in the Crockin Girls Slow Cookin Companion Cookbook (pg 316-317).

Did you know you could make pizza in the crockpot?!?! Yep, you can... and it's good!

I didn't follow the all the ingredients listed in the recipe because I didn't have all of them but I followed the general concept.

The players... Can of pizza dough, pizza sauce, pepperoni, cheese (pizza blend) and of course the Crockpot! And don't worry I didn't use all that sauce and pepperoni, it will be split up and put into the freezer to have quick meals at hand.

I used half of the pizza dough (I don't like huge thick crust) and a cup of pizza sauce.

Completely layered with Pepperoni

And the cheese!

Cook on HIGH for 2 hours!

Chicken and Black Bean Soup - Crockpot

Chicken and Black Bean Soup - 

The recipe came from this blog, the recipe doesn't have a name so I created one! You can click on the link and see her blog post.

Ingredients:

Bag of frozen chicken (a bag of frozen chicken is about 3 lbs. this is alot for two people so I only used half a bag)

1 (8 oz) block of cream cheese

1 can black beans (I had accidentally opened black beans instead of black olives the night before that is why they are in the container)

1 can corn

1 can rotel

Add Chicken then cream cheese.

Drain, rinse, and add black beans. 

Drain and add corn.

Add Rotel. Cook 6-8 hours stirring every few hours.

Somehow I managed not to get a picture of the final product but here is one about half way into the cooking after I stirred it.

On the original post she suggests serving it over rice but I am much more a soup fan so I served it with Frito's. If you don't eat this with Frito's you might want to add a little salt to it.
