So I have a bunch of new crock pot recipes that I want to try out that call for chicken breasts. I buy my chicken breasts frozen from Costco.
Should I put the chicken breasts (2 used per recipe) into the crock pot frozen or thawed? I don't want the chicken to get dried out.
I usually cook most crock pot recipes on low for 6-8 hours.
heres a dish i really enjoy....
chicken cacciatore.....crock pot style...
frozen breast and/or thighs...3-4#'s
large onion thinly sliced...
1 red & 1 green bell pepper sliced...
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic...
1/2 ts basil & oregano...
6oz can tomato paste...
8oz can stewed tomatoes....
1 pkg sliced fresh mushrooms...
couple bay leaves....
2c burgundy wine.......
place onion in 1st..
then chicken..
mix all other ingredients together, then pour over..
cook low 7-9 hours with frozen chicken...high 3-4 with fresh chicken....
make rice or noodles as a bed for chicken cacciatore....
No problem! I really don't like dark either ...well, I'll eat legs anytime. But, thighs never except as sticky chicken. Weird I know, but it's a very unusual flavoring and falls off the bone. Not sure how white meat would do as sticky chicken.
