Im not sure who invented the crockpot or slow cooker, but it has to be one of the best timesaving appliances in the entire world. This is simply the simplest meal to prepare: toss all the essential ingredients in a pot, and keep it at a slow simmer all day. Thats when you come home from work to a delicious, fragrant, hot meal. And you didnt even have to slave over the stove, even though it may taste like a gourmet dinner. Although the crockpot does a great job with any meat, I think my favorite food to cook is chicken.
Chicken will absorb all the flavors of whatever youre seasoning it with, so it really is the perfect base for any dinner. Because Im so enthusiastic about poultry, my mother got me a book of crockpot chicken recipes that is filled with over 500 different variations on slow cooker chicken. I am especially fond of combining pineapple with chicken for a wonderful sweet and exotic flavor. This book of crockpot chicken recipes has more than 40 recipes with chicken and pineapple, so I dont think I am going to run out anytime soon!
Tonight Im making teriyaki chicken with pineapple citrus glaze. Yum! If you love chili but are trying to stay away from beef, because its higher in fat and cholesterol, you may want to consider trying a chicken chili recipe. The first time I heard of chicken chili, I thought it probably must taste awful. Using the same seasonings as youd find in a traditional beef recipe, you can create a chicken chili in either a mild or spicy form. My favorite chicken chili recipe turns out to be a white chili, meaning that it uses fresh yellow tomatoes, shredded chicken, chili peppers, onions, and canned white beans, plus the usual seasonings and spices that give it a smoky and rich flavor.
Because they are sometimes not in season, yellow tomatoes are the only ingredient which you may have a hard time finding. You can use a rotisserie chicken to save time, or roast your own. Just make sure you simmer everything in a large pot for several hours until the chicken is tender and the flavors meld together. Once you try this chicken chili recipe, you wont want to go back to beef again! Some bake chicken breast can be the main dish of a wonderful and healthy meal. By buying the boneless and skinless chicken breasts in frozen bags, you can thaw only the amount you will need for your meal.
This is often the least expensive way to purchase chicken for your family. You can bake chicken breasts in almost in flavor, so you can eat them all the time and still feel like you are having something different all the time. You can season the chicken breast with pre-made marinades, homemade marinades, or dry seasonings. You can cook your dinner right away if you marinade your chicken the night before hand.
You can also season your chicken with dry seasonings like garlic or onion powder. If you mix onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder and cumin and use this mix to season a chicken breast, you will have a southwestern type dish. Sprinkle this mixture on both sides of your chicken breasts and bake.
