Welcome to 2016! Last month I focused healthy
recipes because like me, most people resolve to eat
healthier in the up and coming year. I would like to
continue that thread with some more healthy recipes.
I would also like to ask for your help by sending us
your favorite healthy recipes! We like to involve our
readers, so come on..just shoot us an email with your
favorite recipe and you may even get published!!
With the winter months comes shorter days and what
seems like less time to cook a good dinner. Let's
break out the slow cookers and dinner will be waiting
for you when you get home!!! - Kris Caporaso
Whole Chicken in
the Crock Pot
Ingredients
1 4-5 lb whole chicken
2 carrots
2 stalks of celery
garlic powder to taste
onion powder to taste
pepper to taste
paprika to taste and even optional
Directions
1) Peel and cut carrots into 2 inch pieces
2) Cut celery into 2 inch pieces
3) Line the bottom of the crock pot with carrots and
celery.
4) Season chicken to taste with garlic powder, onion
powder, pepper and paprika. I go really heavy on the
paprika but I know some people don't like it. Really,
any seasonings you want to put on the chicken will
work.
5) Place chicken on top of carrots and celery.
6) Cook on low for 8 hours
7) ENJOY!
If you find yourself without carrots and celery don't
worry. All you have to do is make 4 aluminum foil
balls and place them on the bottom of the crock pot.
They work the same way the vegetables would've.
Place the chicken on top of the aluminum foil and
cook away!
