(3-4 lbs)
8 hours on low.
Cut 2 stalks of celery, add one can of broth. Peel one carrot and cut into 1/2 inch pieces.

4 Frozen Chicken Breasts 1 Jar of your preferred Spaghetti Sauce (used as a base unless you have some of your own spaghetti sauce already available) I can tomato paste 1 palmful oregano approx 1 tablespoon 1 palmful dried basil (use dried because you are slow cooking) 1 onion finely diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup grated Parmesan
Mix together. Cook on low for 8 hours or high about 5. When chicken becomes fork tender, pour another good helping of Parm on top and let it melt. Serve on top of angel hair pasta.
I'm definitely gonna add red pepper flakes - I'm American, but I still like a kick to my food.
Any other suggestions to vary this up?

18. That sounds heavenly. (Especially the red pepper!) |
|
An excellent recipe.
My only addition would be to take a clean paper towel, pour an ounce of olive oil on it and coat the slow-cooker pot with it.
Chicken is very fickle and it would help to have a non-stick coating on the pot. (Plus it adds a slight, but unique flavor component!)

22. Also, you can use the directions from a packet of Lawry's Spaghetti Mix |
|
Edited on Sun Feb-15-09 08:19 PM by PBS Poll-435
One packet of sauce mix, 2 1/4 cups of water, 1 tbs of olive or canola oil, and an additional can of tomato paste ...
in lieu of the jar of Prego.

24. I was thinking that while I'm at the market (Pike Place), I'd splurge on a jar of organic sauce... |
|
I try various organic items from time to time, to see which, if any, yield a taste benefit commensurate with 2x the cost.

I can give you good 200 year old New England recipes...but I'd have to mute you so you couldn't give away family secrets.

14. Pork loin or shoulder does really well in a crock pot |
|
It shreds easily for sandwiches. :9
