Slow Cooker Chicken

Slow cooking and chicken are two of the most

compatible words in the busy cook’s cooking dictionary.

It’s music to her ears. Slow cooking involves the

preparation of hot dishes in advance. Just put the ingredients on the

slow cooker, season, turn it on and return to it for dinner. Preparation of

dishes in a slow cooker should be fuss-free and quick.

Although some recipes need sautéing of ingredients before putting into

the pot, the effort required, if at all, would be worth the depth of flavors

you’ll get from that. Like the slow cooker, chicken requires minimal

preparation and just the right bit of attention and you get yourself a

nice, hearty meal at the end of the day.

The gift of the slow cooker chicken is a hot meal to share with the

family, without

having to

slave on it for

hours. Since

it’s slow

cooked, all

the flavors are

intensified

inside the pot.

The chicken is

moist and

tender and so

will the

vegetables.

The sauce or

broth that results in slow cooker chicken is as delicious as the meal

you’re making. Just remember to season it well with salt and pepper as

well as your favorite herbs and spices.

Slow cooker chicken can also make use of noodles for a hearty noodle

soup. The chicken is shredded and returned to the pot before the final

hour of cooking. Noodles like whole wheat or regular ones are added

after the long hours of slow cooking so it doesn’t disintegrate. The broth

will lend its flavor to the dish and would taste as if you’ve done a

Herculean task in cooking it. But in reality, slow cooker chicken recipes

are simple and delicious, without you working too much.
