No-Brainer Chicken -- Buy a 3 lb broiler fryer (whole) chicken. Wash & pat dry. Stuff with your favorite herbs. I like throwing lemon grass in the cavity. Whatever is fresh and sounds good works. Salt & pepper the thing. If you like mushrooms, cut some up and put 'em in the pot. Add about 1 c water. If you like, rub some butter on the chicken and add a few squirts of lemon juice. Cook on low 4-6 hrs. Again, dinner's done! (It's hard to "overdo" this, so you can leave it on low all day while you're at work).
Another hint -- use the crockpot to get chicken super tender for shredding into chicken salads, enchiladas, etc... Hope this helps -- once you get used to them, crockpots are real handy gadgets."

1/2 c Green pepper; diced
1/2 c Onion; diced
4 oz Mushrooms; canned, drained
1/2 c Chicken broth

1/2 ts Basil
1 1/2 c Small curd cottage cheese
1 cn Cream of chicken soup

Easy Crock Pot Chicken With Stuffing


Prepare packaged stuffing mix as indicated on package. You can use Stove Top or dried herbed stuffing such as Pepperidge Farm. The important thing is to prepare it with moisture as the specific package indicates.

Layer stuffing in the bottom of crock pot. Place 4 boneless chicken breasts on top. They can overlap some, but try to arrange it with as little overlap as possible, even if you have to squash them in. If there is room, you could use more chicken. Also, you could use bone-in chicken pieces, not necessarily just boneless chicken breast. I recommend that you use either bone-in or boneless, don't combine the two, or your cooking time will vary.

On top of the chicken, pour one can of cream of chicken soup, or you could use cream of mushroom or cream of celery, whatever you like. Just don't add the liquid the soup can says to use when making it.

Add one can of mushrooms sliced. Use as little or as much as you like. Be sure to stir the mushrooms around a little so they get covered with the soup mix.

Turn crockpot on low and leave to cook for several hours. Check periodically and make sure the soup mix hasn't dried up. If it seems like there isn't enough moisture on top, you can add a little chicken gravy. But remember, there is a lot of moisture below the chicken from the stuffing.

Like I said, this recipe is very flexible. I think it works best, though, if you use skinless chicken, otherwise you have all that fat floating in your gravy mixture. You may have to adjust cooking time and moisture content to your liking.

To serve, remove chicken. Scoop some stuffing and sauce onto a dinner plate and place the piece of chicken on top of it. Be aware, the stuffing will be mushy, but it is DELICIOUS!!!!
