Best Crockpot Recipes

I simply love the food cooked in a crockpot. It is a method of cooking food slowly, in a pressure cooker. As the temperature inside a crockpot is very low, it requires long hours of cooking , but the advantage is that even the toughest of meats can become very tender and juicy after cooking them in a crockpot. In all my parties, I always serve meats cooked in a crockpot. If you too are looking for easy recipes, then here are some which I have handpicked out of my list of top ten chicken recipes.

Creamy Chicken

Ingredients Required: Vegetables such as carrots, beans, peas, celery, broccoli (finely chopped), A tin of "cream of tomato" soup, one kg chicken (cleaned, skin removed, cut into pieces), olive oil, ginger powder, garlic paste, salt and pepper

Procedure: Put two teaspoons of olive oil in the crockpot. Add half a teaspoon of ginger powder and one teaspoon of garlic paste to the oil. After about thirty seconds, add vegetables to the oil. Stir well, so that the vegetables are covered with oil and the ginger garlic paste. Now put the chicken pieces in the crockpot and also pour the cream of tomato soup on top. Add one teaspoon of thyme and salt/pepper to taste. Remember not to add water. Now close the lid and let it cook on low for about six hours. If you have less time, you can cook on high for three hours. (I prefer cooking it for six hours). After about six hours, open the lid and transfer the chicken to a dish. Garnish with mint and coriander leaves and the delicious, creamy chicken is now ready to be served.

Barbecue Chicken

Ingredients Required: Chicken (washed, skin removed, cut into pieces), brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup

Procedure: Take a bowl and combine one cup ketchup, half cup brown sugar and four tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce in it. Use a spatula so that they get blended properly. Now keep the crockpot on stove top and put the chicken pieces in it. Pour the mixture prepared earlier on the chicken and close the lid. Cook for about eight hours on slow or four hours on high. After eight hours, your crunchy barbecue chicken will be ready.

Chicken Noodles

Ingredients Required: Chicken breasts (Boneless), tin of cream of corn soup, tin of cream of chicken soup, sugar, flour, sour cream, ginger, garlic, noodles (precooked)

Procedure: Take about five chicken breasts and cut them into strips. Put these chicken strips into the crockpot. In a bowl, mix one cup flour, half cup sour cream,one teaspoon sugar and half a teaspoon of garlic powder. Now add the tinned soups to this mixture and using a spatula, blend them together. Now pour this mixture over the chicken. Put the lid and cook for about eight hours on low. After eight hours, take a dish and place the precooked noodles on it. The chicken will be ready now, so take it out of the crockpot and put it on the side of the noodles in the dish. Yummy noodles chicken are now ready.

After trying these recipes at home, I am sure that you too will agree that these are the best crockpot recipes. Crockpot cooking method is my favorite as you do not have to do anything while the chicken is being cooked. On top of that, the food cooked is scrumptious, and no other cooking method can beat its taste.
