chicken, Chicken, CHICKEN everywhere!!!!
tee hee.
I know I haven't posted one of these in a while. I took the pics when I made these dishes but I just have been too tired and too busy to do a post. Well here is 3 for you guys. Enjoy!!!!
Ingredients:
1 whole hen = $2.21
2 garlic cloves, sliced = $.10
salt and pepper to taste
TOTAL COST = $2.31 (approximate)
Prep Time = 5 min
Cook Time = 7 hours on low
Directions:
Turn on crockpot on at the low setting. Add chicken to crockpot. (Remember that I clean and season my chicken the day I buy it so my chicken was already prepared. I just needed to defrost it and I did that by moving it from the freezer to the fridge the night before.) Cover and let it cook.
Results:
I winded up making some smaller meals from this larger one. I cut out the breast meat and cut them into slices for sandwiches for lunch this week. I then took the wings and drumsticks off and had those that night with some sweet potato I baked. I took the remainder of the chicken and made some stew. Here is the stew I made potatoes, onions, broccoli, and tomatoes:
Ingredients:
1 package split fryer chicken breast (3 breasts) = $1.87
2 cups homemade chicken broth (or one can of store bought broth) = $0
2 cup of chopped carrots = $.50
1 cup of chopped tomatoes = $.30
2 large potatoes, chopped = $.40
1 medium size onion, chopped = $.15
1 cup of water = $0
Curry powder, salt, and pepper
TOTAL COST = $3.22 (approximate)
Prep Time = 15 min
Cook Time = 4 hours on high or 7 hours on low
Directions:
Turn on crockpot on at the high setting. Add everything to the crockpot. You can cut up the chicken or add it whole. If you add it whole it will break up towards the end. Cover and let it cook.
Sorry I don't have a picture of the final product. I had taken some but when I checked my memory card today they weren't there. Guess it didn't save right. It was good though. Real good.
Ingredients:
1 package chicken drumsticks (6 drumsticks a packege) = $1.17
1/3 a bottle of barbecue sauce (I prefer Sweet Baby Ray's) = $.66
salt and pepper to taste
TOTAL COST = $1.83 (approximate)
Prep Time = 5 min
Cook Time = 4 hours on high or 7 hours on low
Directions:
Turn on crockpot on at the high setting. Add chicken to the crockpot. Again my chicken is prepared and seasoned, hence the short prep time. All I did was move it to the fridge to thaw. Pour bbq sauce over chicken. Cover and let it cook.
Results:
I made some rice mixed with onions and corn to go with it.
I apologize for the half eaten chicken. My daughter attacked my plate while I was getting the camera. I had to make her put down the fork so I could take a pic real quick. As you can see she likes the skin. LOL!!! She gobbled it up when I was done. She loves bbq chicken. I am going to try this with wings next week. Mmmmm..........we love wings.
