Crock Pot Chicken Dinner
Crock Pot Chicken Dinner is an easy and delicious meal that can be prepared the night before. It's perfect for busy weeknights or when you're entertaining guests. The chicken is cooked in a crock pot with vegetables, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish.
This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. You can add any vegetables you like, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, or zucchini. You can also add different spices to taste. I like to add garlic, parsley, and thyme.
Once you've added all of the ingredients to the crock pot, simply turn it on and let it cook on low for 7 to 8 hours. The chicken will be cooked through and the vegetables will be tender.
Serve the Crock Pot Chicken Dinner with your favorite sides. I like to serve it with mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad.
Step-by-step
-
Place the carrots in the bottom of a 4 1/2 quart or larger crock pot. Add celery, onions, and potatoes to the bottom of the pot. Add the water and sprinkle the vegetables with 1 teaspoon of the seasoning salt. Remove the neck and giblets from the cavity of the chicken and rinse inside and out with cold water. At this point, I removed the skin from the back of the chicken to reduce the fat content. Place the chicken, breast side up, in the pot on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle the remaining teaspoon of season salt over the chicken and add other spices, if desired. I would add some garlic and parsley - anything your family likes on chicken. Cook on the low setting for 7 to 8 hours.
