CrockPot recipes - I'll be getting one soon I hope, so I can use these. lol

Chicken
Desserts



I bought several heads of broccoli the other day because I'm craving broccoli casserole, then realized I no longer had the recipe for it.
 
Honey Sesame Teriyaki Chicken

2 lbs chicken breast, cut up or sliced into strips
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup honey
1 TBSP sherry (can omit if you have none)
1 clove garlic, mashed
1 tsp ginger
2 TBSP sesame seeds

Mix together all ingredients except chicken and sesame seeds. Marinate chicken in sauce and store in refrigerator for 2 hours.
Stir fry chicken with marinade and add seeds.

This recipe is delicious even if you don't have time to marinate it. I make it with my students every year for Chinese New Year and teach them how to use chopsticks.
 
(some of these I've likely posted before)

GREEK CHICKEN AND POTATOES (crock pot info on the bottom)


2-3 lbs chicken pieces (pick o'the chick type)
4 russet potatoes, peeled and quartered lengthwise
4-8 large garlic cloves, halved
3/4 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
1/4 cup olive oil
2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled

Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange chicken, potatoes and garlic in large roasting pan. Season with salt and pepper. Pour broth over. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice and oregano to combine. Pour evenly over chicken and potatoes.

Bake until chicken is cooked through and golden brown and potatoes are tender, basting occasionally with pan juices, about 1 hour 30 minutes (can take longer).

Serves 4.


Crock pot variation:

Double the herbs and half the oil. Add ¼ cup lemon juice at the beginning, then one half cup about 15 minutes before serving. Cook on low 8 hours.

Place all ingredients in a large Crock Pot (cut meat in half if necessary): stir to mix. Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 8 to 10 hours. Remove meat and vegetables and some of the cooking liquid. Slice meat thinly across the grain. Serve with vegetables and some of the liquid.

Place beef on top of onion mixture; pour in cider mixture. Cover and cook at low setting until beef is very tender when pierced (91/2 - 10 hrs).
Lift roast to a warm platter and keep warm. Skim and discard fat from cooking liquid, if necessary; then blend in cornstarch mixture. Increase heat to high; cover and cook, stirring 2 or 3 more times, until sauce is thickened (about 15 more minutes). Season to taste with salt.

Garlic Beef (from our own Bindii!!)

2.2 pounds of chuck steak (use a cheap steak for this recipe as it needs to cook for a long time)
1 Tablespoon of oloive oil
4 Cloves of garlic (crushed)
1 Onion
1/2 cup of water - 125ml
2 Beef stock cubes
2 Tablespoons worcestshire sauce
1/2 cup of cream
Parsley - fresh ir dried

Cut beef into smallish cubes. Heat oil in pan cook beef, garlic and onion in batches until browned or softened.
Put beef, garlic, onion and any juices from pan, into slow cooker with all other ingredients except cream. Cook all day (longer if you can...ie all night and day as the longer its cooked the more tender the meat is).
Add cream just before serving. I usually serve this over cooked pasta.
Its one of those dishes that everyone seems to rave over when they come for a meal as the meat just melts in your mouth.

Italian Chicken and Potatoes
· 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
· 1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
· 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or mix basil, oregano, crushed red pepper, and garlic powder to equal same)

Place chicken in bottom of Crock Pot. Sprinkle with half of the Italian dressing, spices, and the grated cheese. Put the potatoes on top or around the chicken. Sprinkle with the rest of the dressing, spices, and cheese.
Cook on low for about 6-8 hours, or until the chicken and potatoes are tender.

Cover; cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours or until beef is tender and no longer pink. Before serving, in medium bowl, combine stuffing mix, contents of seasoning packet, melted margarine and 1/2 cup of liquid from slow cooker; toss to mix. Place stuffing on top of contents in slow cooker. Increase heat to high setting. Cover; cook an additional 10 minutes or until stuffing is fluffy. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover; cook until cheese is melted.
Serves 6.

Chicken and Stuffing (from my friend Coleen)

1 can cream of celery soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 pkg stuffing mix
1/2 stick butter or margarine
1 med onion -- chopped
1 can chicken broth
8 chicken breasts

Sauté the onions in the butter. Add the stuffing mix and half a can of chicken broth. Mix the soups together with the other half-can of broth. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts. Layer half the stuffing in the bottom of the crock pot, followed by half of the soup-mixture, then the chicken breasts, then the other half of the stuffing, then the rest of the soup-mixture.

Cook for one hour on high and then turn to low for 4-5 hours, or cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
 
I have a super recipe for a Broccoli and mushroom soup. it originally came from L.S.Ayres when they had nice restaurants.

Interested?

If so I will post it later, I have to make dinner.
 
Thanks lilminx and Nora. :)



Those sound yummy and now I'm starving. lol




I'd love to see it Chantal, I think my body is craving the vitamins from the broccoli. I don't eat very healthy unless I'm reminded to and I don't take vitamins.
 
I am not sure if these will help or hinder your cooking process but I had just opened the email before I saw your thread...
 
lol mia!! Someplace sent those to me a couple of weeks ago. Surely does make a girl hungry, doesn't it? :D
 
Auntie Ann's Pretzels


1 1/2 cup warm water
1 1/8 tsp. active yeast (1 1/2 pkg)
2 Tbs. brown sugar
1 1/8 tsp. salt
1 cup bread flour
3 cups regular flour

2 cups warm water
2 Tbs. baking soda

To taste coarse salt
2-4 Tbs. butter (melted)

Sprinkle yeast on lukewarm water in mixing bowl; stir to dissolve. Add
sugar, salt, and stir to dissolve; add flour and knead dough until smooth
and elastic. Let rise at least 1/2 hour.

While dough is rising, prepare a baking soda water bath with 2 cups warm
water and 2 Tbs. baking soda. Be certain to stir often.

After dough has risen, pinch off bits of dough and roll into a long rope
(about 1/2 inch or less thick) and shape. Dip pretzel into soda solution
and place on greased baking sheet. Allow pretzel to rise again. Bake in a
450 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until golden. Brush with melted
butter and enjoy!

Toppings:

After you brush with butter try sprinkling with coarse salt.
Or for Auntie Anne's famous cinnamon sugar, try melting a stick of butter
in a shallow bowl( big enough to fit the entire pretzel) and in another
bowl, make a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. dip the pretzel into the
butter, coating both sides generously. then dip again into the cinnamon
mixture.

It's one of the few thing I use my oven for. Although I've tried a couple of those homestyle bakes (They aren't too bad).

I just saw a coupon for 'em in today's paper. Maybe if the pic of it didn't look so nasty I'd try one. lol
