| One little ingredient, so many uses |
I get myself into trouble though when I find a recipe that I'm DYING to try and it calls for pre-cooked chicken. I have a lot of good intentions of getting whole chickens and roasting them off for the meat, as time allows. Ha!! That's funny. I really like the rotisserie chickens available in grocery stores but I struggle with spending $2-$3 more than just getting a raw chicken and doing it myself. And have you seen the prices for those tidy little packages of pre-cooked, pre-chopped chicken?? Ack!!
So the question becomes, how can I easily pre-cook some chicken with minimum fuss using the breasts I keep around anyway? Well, like this...
Slow Cooker Chicken Breasts
Recipe adapted from my mom because I lost the sheet she wrote it down on
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 large onions or 3 medium ones
Season salt
Garlic powder
1. Because it's me and I have such a hard time remembering to do this, I will make thawing the chicken breasts it's own separate step.
 |
| Think of these as like a natural cooking rack |
2. Slice the onions and scatter in the bottom of the slow cooker. Lay the chicken breasts on top.
 |
| Not so hard, right? |
3. Sprinkle the season salt and garlic powder over the chicken to taste.
 |
| Flavor hint: be generous |
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours.
 |
| I want to point out I added NO LIQUID before cooking. |
Use this chicken in salads, casseroles, pasta dishes, soups, or just as is. I have to say that the aroma of this chicken cooking is quite fabulous so I'd have no problem doing the latter! And I love, love, LOVE that I can have several cups worth of cooked chicken done and ready for my freezer with only about 5 minutes of hands-on time from me and no need to buy something extra. :)
