Attention friends list! and whoever.

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.

You can put a whole chicken in the crock pot (I butter my crock first if I think about it, but you don't have to) Put the chicken in, dab about a tablespoon or so of soy sauce over the top (never use salt in a crock pot, it doesn't actually season during the long cooking), add seasonings of choice - garlic, dried onion, pepper and cook on low. You end up with chicken plus lots of broth so you can make soup too.

You can do the same thing with a pork roast. When I do pork I add a can of chopped green chiles, or some salsa verde, or both depending on what's on hand.

Or there's the old classic of chicken pieces, cream of soup of your choice with or without a handful of dried onions and shredded chedder cheese. Not gourmet, but good over rice or noodles.
