Crockpot Recipes

I get asked often for crockpot recipes.  I have had them scattered all over, but have decided to place them on one post for easy access.  These are my favorites…

(Tip: Double the recipe and freeze half!)

Crockpot Chicken Corn Chowder (Best chowder ever…)

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken tenders, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 ribs celery, sliced
  • 2 small carrots, sliced
  • 2 cups frozen corn kernels
  • 2 cans cream of potato soup
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1/2 cup half and half or evaporated milk

In a large skillet, melt the butter or margarine; brown chicken. Transfer chicken to slow cooker. Add onions and celery to skillet and sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes, until just tender. Add the onions and celery to crockpot, along with carrots, corn kernels, soup, chicken broth and dill to slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low 5 to 6 hours or until chicken is done and vegetables are tender. During the last 10 minutes, stir in the half and half or evaporated milk. Serves 8.

    YUMM! your recipes look delicious. I can't wait to try your chicken corn chowder. We love corn chowder : )

    I have been enjoying reading what you have been doing with your Sonlight. We use Sonlight as well and I'm just about to pull out the same books you are using for my daughter. I used them with my son and I am looking forward to using them again.

    Blessings,

    Mmmmm, these recipes look delicious! I love using my crockpot but often forget to drag it out in the summer, when I should be using it more as it doesn't heat up the house like the oven does!!

    Thanks for the recipe's I can't wait to try some of them.

    Anything to make the dinner prep go quicker so I can spend more time with my family.

    Also, we miss the trees, but have found the way of life much more peaceful over on the eastern side of Wa. I have really enjoyed having four seasons! The sun shines so much here! I didn't realize how gloomy days affected me until I moved here.
