Default Re: Low prep, low cost crockpot recipes!

My crockpot cooks chicken too fast if it's not frozen first, so that's just fine with me b/c I don't have to thaw it first!

April, I would love that lentil stew recipe.

Thanks for posting these! Great thread, Mama Piadosa!

I was looking for a frozen chicken breast recipe, so I'm trying the teriyaki chicken one. Question- I used 2 large breasts and added about half the bottle of teriyaki sauce- is that enough sauce? I didn't want to overwhlem it...

Also, how long before dinner is served do I throw in the brocolli & pineapple?

Thanks!

As long as some of the breasts are covered I think it is enough- it turns more liquidy as it cooks- I put the brocolli and pineapples in 15 minutes before and turn it up to high.

I put frozen chicken breasts in the cp, some soy sauce (maybe 1/4 c for 2 breasts), and a small can of mandarin oranges (or less than a can if I have some leftover in the fridge), some garlic powder, some powdered ginger, and leave on low 6 hours. Canned pineapple works, too.

Lentil stew recipe (made it yesterday )

5 cups water
2 t bouillon powder
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 t ground sage
1/4 t ground red pepper
1/2 cup diced onion (I sometimes use red onion for variety and color)
1 cup diced potato
1/2 cup diced bell pepper (red is prettier)
1/2 cup diced celery (optional)
1 cup dried lentils or split peas
1 cup diced sausage or ham (optional)

Throw all ingredients in crockpot except for the meat. Bring to a boil on high, turn down to low and simmer for 6-8 hours. Add meat about 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy with homemade biscuits/scones/dinner rolls...

I usually use chicken, but vegetable or beef would work fine too... Any kind of lentil, or split peas even, is good... I actually use a dry lentil, bean and barley soup mix and it is AWESOME! I've made it with lentils and split peas (not together) and both were

Mmmmm mmm! Thank you so much for that recipe. I was wondering if I could use the red lentils...that's why I was asking; ds won't eat green lentils (texture), but the red ones cook into a puree and he loves that.

1 can of mushroom soup and a cup of sour cream over chicken breasts. Left over sauce is excellent on rice
We are trying this one today! I added a little garlic powder to the sauce.
