I thought I had blogged about this before, but when I looked for it, I couldn’t find a blog entry about crock pot chicken.  If there is one, I apologize.

Cooking for a semi-picky eater is a challenge.  The Imaginative One is often fearful about trying new foods, especially if he doesn’t know what ingredients are in the meal.  This is one of his favorite ways to eat chicken; he has requested it for a birthday dinner.

I wanted to post this recipe because I have a few future recipes that will use some leftover chicken.  Any other leftover chicken is put in meal-size portions and then frozen for future meals.

Crockpot chicken

Star of the recipe:

• 4-5 pound chicken, giblets and neck removed and washed
• spices

Steps:

1. If there are any giblets and neck, remove those.
2. Wash the chicken.
3. Place the chicken in the crock pot.  Breast side up.
4. Season with salt, pepper, or any other spice – it’s your choice.
5. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
6. Once cooked, save the juices for stock.

Two days ago, I posted about the Foodie Pen Pals I participated in.  Shania, who sent my package, lives in the area struck by Superstorm Sandy.  She is a reader of my blog.  I want to tell her that my thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.
