Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Thanks for the suggestions. I've googled recipies but they always involve more complicated dishes than I am wanting. I just want the chicken to be flavorful and not dry. I don't plan to cook veggies with it this time. I just want the cooked chicken on hand to add to noodles or rice for lunch and dinner for the week.
I've been buying some precoked chicken but it is more expensive than cooking it myself. The problem is, I've never cooked chicken before. Or used a Crock-pot before.
Throw in crock pot. Cook. Check whatever the general lowest time is for chicken dishes and then every twenty minutes until done. Don't add water. Spices optional.
I've never done it in a crockpot either but, the long way around that works best for me is to bake a bird and use seasoned broth to freeze the chunks. Then thaw and heat up over rice.
I'm with you not buying the expensive pre-cooked stuff. I now have 2 quarts of turkey in broth in the freezer and I think I can get a meals out of it for about 3 bucks each.
The main thing is that the crockpot needs the chicken covered with liquid. You can just add water to cover, let it cook for, I don't know, probably around 4 hours, and fish the shicken out with tongs or pour the liquid off, whatever's easier. If you have flavorful things to add, that's good, if not you'll have, like, poached chicken.
Eta: or listen to Cass. You don't have to add water? Hooray flexible cooking techniques!
man I caught up with a lot of tv today and now I need to go find CM and Bones and Good Wife talk. Still not caught up on Good Wife, but at least am finally catching up.
I'm using a crock pot right now (AIFG). OK, it's for mulled wine, but still. Slow cooking make everything healthy, right?
TJ's Mac & Cheese Bites report: Nom!
If there was any doubt.
I'd originally intended to go try the new steak place that just opened up on my block. But long lines convinced me to dine in instead, so it was Mediterranean filo cups, salad, and half a turkey sandwich tonight.
Happy birthday Consuela!
Mmm. Just had delicious Indian take out for dinner. So good. Sooo sleepy now.
Slow cooking makes everything good. I dunno about the for you part. My goose stew turned out okay. Could have done without the rice vinegar, I think. And maybe I could have done more apricots. But it was pretty good, and hey, it had apricots and carrots in it, so it must be good for me.
