4 Unusual Chicken Crockpot Recipes - Combinations That Will Wow Your Friends and Family

Ah yes, there is nothing more satisfying than coming home from work to find a chicken crockpot recipe slowly cooking away. It fills the room with gorgeous smells and if you are anything like me you absolutely love and simply wouldn't be without your crockpot. The reason for this is simple, it can save you both money and time. You see as far as I am concerned the great thing about a crockpot is that you can throw in some meat and some vegetables and 4-8 hours later out comes a terrific tasting meal.

Chicken really lends itself to being cooked in a crockpot and the great thing is that it goes with so many different flavor combinations and ingredients. The other awesome thing about chicken is its versatility. This means that you can really get creative with it. So with this in mind here are some different things that you can do with the humble chicken and your crockpot, that you may or may not have heard of.

1. Try chicken and fruit combo's - Believe it or not, chicken works really well with fruit, particularly apricots, peaches and pineapple. If you can add a little spice into the mix to make it fruity and zingy at the same time, it will be a match made in heaven.

2. Chicken and Cola - Coke and chicken I hear you say, but actually Cola really does work with chicken! If you add some onions, peppers and ketchup, it makes an awesome sticky sauce that will not only keep the chicken succulent and moist, but will give the dish a lovely sweet sticky flavor

3. Fish and chicken - It is a well known fact.. chicken just loves fish. Try adding shrimp or salt fish with chili peppers, spices, rice, chicken and stock to make an Asian/Thai influenced steamed rice dish. Or alternatively try adding some clams and stock with your rice and chicken to make an awesome jambalaya

4. Chicken and Blue cheese - This is a great flavor combo. The saltiness of the blue cheese works really well against the moistness of the chicken. Try crumbling blue cheese into a sauce of white wine, mustard and cream (or crème fraiche if you're feeling really healthy) and watch as it slowly melts down to create a totally unctuous sauce that is simply divine.

Hopefully this has given you some useful hints and tips when it comes to flavor combo's as these are just four combinations that on the surface, seem a little strange, but in reality really do work. However, don't stop there! Instead it might be really fun to invent some of your own.

Of course if you are not the creative type then stick to the more established recipes such as chicken and gravy or chicken and herb dumplings. Or if you are really health conscious, then there are even some really good healthy chicken recipes out there. Above all have some fun with your slow cooking and be inventive. There are no end of seriously good chicken crockpot recipes available to you. So it is just a case of trying a few out and seeing which ones your family will adore.

Crockpot Cooking and Your Family Budget - Surprising Ways This Appliance Saves You Money

If, like me, you bought a crockpot some years ago, used it for a while, then stuck it away, it's time to retrieve it. Your crockpot is the perfect appliance to put to work in the kitchen to save you money on your grocery budget. Clear a spot on your kitchen counter and let's put that crockpot to work!

But, first, consider the condition of your crockpot. If you have forgotten exactly when you bought your crockpot, or it has a pattern or color that's reminiscent of decades past, you should buy a new one. You will be saving money when you spend money because you'll have a more energy efficient model. Let's look at the other ways that using your crockpot will save you money:

Crockpot

Small Appliance Equals Small Wattage

Certain dishes, like beef stew, pot roasts, and soups, are usually cooked for a pretty long period of time. If you're using your oven for, say 3 hours, that's about 10 kWh for that meal. Cooking the same pot roast in a crockpot for, say 6 hours, will take about 1.2 kWh. That's simply based on your oven wattage of roughly 2500 versus your crockpot wattage of roughly 200. It just makes sense using a smaller appliance for such a long cooking period. Check out your appliance wattage and energy consumption using any of the energy consumption calculators online and see if you don't agree.

Budget Cuts Of Meat Are Perfect

It's time to try some of those budget cuts of meat again. This time, when you cook them in your crockpot instead of the oven, the meat will fall right off the bone and you can cut it with a fork. The sinew and tissue breaks down nicely when cooked with a low, slow method of the crockpot. Cooking the meat with some liquid added also adds to the tender results. An expensive, tender cut of meat won't cook as well in your crockpot. If you've been avoiding the less expensive cuts of meat, now is the time to try again. No more disasters, because they're not going in the oven.

No More Drive Thru Fast Food

Your family is rushing home from work and school, and there's nothing for dinner. You make a quick stop at the drive-thru, plunk down a huge pile of money and think "there's got to be a better plan." Well, there is. You work too hard for that money to throw it away on bad food. How about instead, you plan a meal, prepare it ahead of time and throw it in the crockpot in the morning? Now, you have time for the evening routine, without worrying about that anguished cry, "what's for dinner?" The fast food joints can get along just fine without your money.

Stop Stressing Your Air Conditioner

When the weather turns hot and steamy, you don't need to add any more heat to your house by cooking a meal. With the air conditioner running, it seems foolish to start heating your oven or stove top. Unfortunately, I can't live on salads all summer long. There comes a time when my family and I want a hot meal, even in the summer. Having the crockpot cooking away on the counter top doesn't heat up the kitchen, and we get a hearty meal, without stressing out our air conditioner.

Cook With Leftovers In Mind

Cooking once and eating twice is my motto. With a large crockpot full of chili, roast beef, or spaghetti, I have lunches for the next few days. Also, with large portions, I can put a couple servings in the freezer for nights when we need a meal in a hurry. Avoiding a quick stop at the grocery store always saves money; you'd be surprised how many items you buy on impulse. This simple method of cooking large portions can save any family a lot of money each month on the grocery budget.

Isn't it time you put your crockpot to work for you? When you see the money savings start to add up, you'll be glad you did. Grab a few crockpot recipes, make out your shopping list, and start saving money today with this one, simple kitchen appliance.

Crockpots and Easy Crockpot Recipes - Which One Is Best For Your Family?

In this busy world, especially if you're a mom like me, you need some little conveniences to aid you out along the way. I remember as a child coming home in the evenings to the beautiful smell of hearty stews and beautiful slow cooker meals. Often forgotten in modern times, crockpot cooking with easy crockpot recipes and make evening meals easy for busy families. All you need to know is which crockpot is best for your family.

We all appreciate wholesome meals that we do not need to invest hours over the hot stove to cook. Purchasing a slow cooker can be a fun experience there are so many to choose from. Not to mention we all love shopping, of course.

Crockpot

The first thing we need to know is how large is your family? What type of foods does your family most like? Do you attend a lot of pot luck functions? Does looks matter to you? Would you prefer a crockpot that is detachable? These are just some of the questions you'll need to think about prior to buying your first crockpot.

You will discover that some crockpots that have clamps to seal the lid, so that it can't spill. These types of slow cookers are good if you do a lot of travelling. There are also small porcelain or ceramic crockpots. These would be ideal for a couple or small family that likes beautiful dinnerware, as a porcelain crockpot can look beautiful sitting on a counter top. If your family is large, your best selection will be a big crockpot, preferably one that you can remove the cooking bowl that you can use to serve the food on the table.

You'll also find varieties with various settings. Some are electric, some have knobs, others buttons. With all crockpots, you'll be able to set them according to the kind of food that you're cooking.

Just about any department store or good cooking shop will stock crockpots and slow cookers. There are also many places on line that you can purchase a crockpot also, as well as do some of that all important research.

Finally, you will discover that crockpots have many different finishes. As well as porcelain, you can also get stainless steel or glass crockpots. Some are detachable for the ease of washing, and some can even be immersed completely in water or placed in the dishwasher. Some crockpots have glass lids, while others come with a plastic lid. You may even discover one with clamps to seal the lid. This type can be compared to a pressure cooker, and usually have a hole for releasing steam.

These are just a few of the many different kinds of crockpots available, and I am positive that you'll uncover one that's the best fit for you and your family. As well as stews and soups, easy crockpot recipes also include pasta, casseroles and even bread. Perfect for any busy family!
