Oh boy, what an awesome thread!

Reading this thread, combined with the “smell of autumn” in the air, has given me a strong nesting urge! Which is good, considering our house is on the market and I need to keep everything in tip-top shape in case someone decides to come take a look!

Here’s a recipe that’s quick and easy:

Put some chicken breasts (or legs) on the bottom, add sliced raw mushrooms, and cover in a can of undiluted cream of mushroom soup. Cook for about 5-6 hours and then add some frozen peas. Cook for the remaining 1-2 hours until dinner time! It’s an all-in-one meal :bounce:

McCorkimics makes a wonderful little crock-pot packet of seasoning for Pulled Pork, which is very very tasty. I find it with the packaged gravy and sauces.

Right now I have chicken breasts in the crock pot cooking with some Italian dressing and some water. Smells so yummy! I can’t wait for dinner!

Sometimes I use salsa instead of Italian dressing. That I serve with rice and a veggie.

One nice thing is that I can do this with frozen chicken as well as fresh.

I extol the virtues of the all-mighty Crock Pot! Here’s my recipe:

No-Peek Chicken

3-4 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
2 cans cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
2 1/2 cups instant rice
1 can water
garlic, pepper, thyme, oregano, marjoram to taste

Spray inside of crock with non-stick cooking spray. Place frozen chicken breasts in crock; sprinkle dry onion soup mix over chicken. Mix together the three cans of soup, rice, and water; stir in spices to taste. Pour over chicken and crock on high 4 hours.

I use the fat-free versions of the soups, and just use the IQF chicken breasts in the bag. Works perfectly–and deliciously!–every time.

Sounds great! Have you ever done it on low for a longer time?

twosweetgirls · Sep 8, 2007

Yep, sure have! You could easily crock it on low for 5-6 hours; I’ve found the boneless/skinless chicken breasts cook pretty quickly, even when frozen. So I just usually crock it on high so my husband has a hot, fresh meal to take with him to work. But yeah, crock on low if you’d like!

I always thought you couln’t put frozen chicken in crock pot

twosweetgirls · Sep 8, 2007

Hm, could that refer to frozen bone-in chicken, like legs?

I do all of the time, and it works out just fine. In fact, I usually put a frozen roast in the pot, and then let it cook all day. It’s all finished by the time I get home from work at 5:00.

Here’s one I just did today.

A rack of baby pork ribs
A bottle of Kraft honey flavored barbeque sauce.

On low for 8 hours.

Yum

Twosweet, I wanted to try this recipe this week. I’m just a little hesitant about the rice though. Does it get mushy?

I was always under the impression that you don’t use noodles or rice in a crockpot because they turn to mush. My husband hates mushy rice or noodles so I usually cook them up when I’m ready to serve what’s in the crockpot.

I very well could be wrong about this. I saw another recipe here that used egg noodles (the pizza, I think).

twosweetgirls · Sep 10, 2007

Nope, it doesn’t get mushy at all! Comes out perfectly, and that’s using the instant rice. Go for it! Let me know how you like it.

St_Gabriel · Sep 10, 2007

I’m giving your receipe a try today. I’ve never cooked chicken in the crockpot before. I hope it comes out good.

Do I need to flip the chicken? Rice on bottom or top?

twosweetgirls · Sep 10, 2007

Nope, no need to flip the chicken, stir the rice, or anything. Simply lay the chicken breasts in the crock (I spray the crock with non-stick spray, or you can use the crock liners mentioned in above posts), sprinkle the dry onion soup mix over them (you may have to lift a breast or two to make sure they all get some dry onion soup on them), then mix the rice-cream soups-spices and pour over top of chicken. Put on the lid and crock on high for four hours, that’s it!

Oh my goodness, mommyof4, how funny you posted this! I was going to ask today if anyone has ever put a frozen roast in a crock pot b/c I have one in the freezer and I wasn’t sure if I needed to thaw it out first.

Nope, I never thaw anything before crocking it.

It turned out great. Thanks for the receipe. DH loved it. I’m not used to all the salt though, but it was still was tastey. Today I’m making spagetti sauce.

I tried a variation of your recipe last night! I used only one can cream of chicken and one can water, 1.5 cups instant rice, 1 can diced tomatoes, some leftover black beans and baby carrots, and taco seasoning instead of the onion soup mix. It was great! DH was so glad I made more than we needed so that we can have leftovers tonight

And it was so nice to get back home from evening Mass and be able to just dish up a yummy hot meal!
