Hi, does anyone have any crock pot (slow cooker) recipes? I just got one at my bridal shower and I would love to make a basic chicken or chicken and rice dishes. Thanks.

Did you try a board search yet? I know there's been quite a few chicken crockpot recipes posted lately, and there's a few listed in the recipe index too, but I don't remember all of them off the top of my head. I also don't know how basic you're talking when you say "basic".  The beauty of slow cookers is that even a not-so-basic recipe is super simple.
Let me know if there's something specific you're looking for... I can dig around in my cookbooks and see what I can come up with.

I love that you say even the "not so basic" can be simple. This slower cooker is for me!
Thanks Casey .

It's seriously been a lifesaver for me this past year. I love to cook, but with me being so sick, it's been very hard for me to even care about cooking... so I throw a few things in the 'pot, and 7 hours or so later, the boyfriend has dinner. Perfect!
I don't know if you can eat tomato sauce and such yet, but one of my favorite dinners is:
1. A jar of pasta sauce - I use Ragu Light Tomato & Basil
2. A package of chicken breasts
3. A small can of mushrooms, drained
4. A teaspoon of basil
5. If you have it, 1/4 cup or so of red wine
Cook everything on low till the chicken's done, serve over spaghetti with soy parmesan and voila - chicken cacciatore!
Enjoy your slow cooker!

I love it too! I work 9 1/2 hour days and I commute, so that is an extra 2 1/2 hours of traveling. So, the time I get home, I don't want to prepare things and cook, I am so exuhusted by that time I just want to eat. So, this is great I can make early in the moring before I leave and then my fiance gets home at 3:00, so he can watch it and take it off. It will be so much easier! I love this thing!
I can eat tomato sause, depending on what brand. Sometimes some of them bother me and other times. I have acid reflux. I will try this though, this sounds good. Thanks!

Hi Casey,
On my lunch break, I went out and bought Ragu Light Pasta Sause. I just noticed thatit is sugar free. I don't usually like things that are sugar free, but I am going to give it a shot, because it sounds safe and it low fat. Does it have a bland taste? I will probably like it, but my fiance is so picky on the other hand! Will we notice that there isn't any sugar in it? Thanks.

I haven't noticed it tasting any different. I actually started buying that kind because it's one of only 2 commercial sauces that doesn't contain oregano, something I'm sensitive to... I don't think I ever noticed that it's sugar-free. LOL!
If anything, it'll be a little more tart than he's used to. Give it a little taste and see - you can always stir some sugar in, a teaspoon at a time, if you think it needs it.

Hi Sweetd! I also use the Ragu light and I think it tastes just as good. I never noticed it tasting any more tart, but I do stir in a tiny bit of sugar anyway just to reduce the acid... but then again I did that even before switching to the light variety! 
As for your original question, I'd recommend these recipes that I've tried:
Crockpot BBQ Chicken Sandwiches (notice the comment later in the thread about also throwing in a sliced sweet onion!)
Crockpot Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken
Hawaiian Chicken
Crockpot Chicken Stew

Here's my favorite recipe of all time: Bourbon Breast of Chicken
Be sure to serve with flat noodles, though; they really add a lot.
Congrats on the crock pot; it's a fabulous tool. I love mine; I bought it in 1975. If you want other great crock pot recipes, just scream! (I have a beef stew recipe I used to LOVE, and an Italian Turkey Sausage Spaghetti Sauce recipe that's to die for.)
