Crockpot Meals
Busy Day Chicken
You just put a whole chicken in the pot and pour you favorite bbq sauce on it (mine is honey bbq or brown sugar). I like to put a little inside of the bird too. Add a bit of water and leave it for 8-10 hrs! I will literally fall off the bone so be careful when removing it from the pot. I usually drain the juice and then put the bird on a baking sheet to cut up.
Crockpot Hot Fudge Cake

Southwest Chicken
3 b/s chicken breasts
1 can diced tomatoes (undrained)
1 can corn (drained)
1 can black beans (drained)
1 "try me" taco dip mix from http://www.devildips.com (or you can use an envelope of fajita mix.)
1 brick of cream cheese
Place chicken in crock pot. Add all ingredients except cream cheese. Cover & cook on high for 3.5 hours. Remove chicken, shred with a fork, and return it to crock pot. Add cream cheese & cook an additional 20 minutes or until cheese is melted. Stir well.
This can be eaten by itself or mixed with bowtie pasta for a meal that will feed a TON of people. It tastes MUCH better with the taco dip mix from the website posted IMO... a LOT more flavor. :-)
Broccoli & Cheese Chicken
4 b/s chicken breasts
pinch of salt
1 can broccoli cheddar soup
1/4c milk
2 tbsp melted butter
1 bag frozen broccoli (or fresh if you prefer)
Spray the crock pot and put the chicken in the bottom. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt (if desired.) In a bowl, mix soup, milk, and melted butter. Pour over chicken and cook on high for 3 hours. Add broccoli, but do not stir. Cover and cook another 20-30 minutes, depending on how crisp you like your broccoli. Serve over rice.
Note: I have also used cheddar cheese soup in this, and made a different veggie on the side. The leftover broccoli/cheese mixture is also really good on top of a baked potato for a quick lunch.
