I need some help.

Namely, I'm in need of NON-SUCKY CROCK-POT RECIPES that:

- can cook for like 7-8 hours on low,

- involve chicken (or anything but that's what I have on hand)

- don't require hard-to-find or wasteful* ingredients

- don't take 10 hours of prep.

...do these exist? Bueller?

Real post later. Doing homework.

*By which I mean, I don't want to go buy an entire thing of bacon for like four strips' worth in a recipe.

One of my favorites:
Sprinkle chicken breasts with a Good Seasons Italian salad dressing packet (which you can buy individually). Add one can of chicken broth and then add water so the meat is covered. Cook on low. I routinely let this go 10 hours, but I found out the hard way that if it goes 12, you end up with leather chicken. :( 7 or 8, however, shouldn't be a problem. :)
(Easy enough for you?)

I have a real good french dip recipe that takes about 10-15 minutes and can go that long too, if you're interested.

Curious now - boneless skinless chicken breasts by any chance? And one pound, two, three?

Currently don't have a slow cooker since I'm needing to replace the one I did have, but I'm always looking out for new recipes.

Yes, boneless skinless chicken breasts. And the recipe calls for six breasts, but I usually just use one or two.

Oooh! I could try something like that! Seconding [livejournal.com profile] kahva's questions: how much chicken?

I usually do one or two breasts, but I believe the recipe calls for six. So the answer is "about as much as you want". (Did you want the French dip recipe? Me confuzzled.... :)
