Crockpot Chicken Cooking Tips

Crockpot cooking is a very forgiving method of cooking. It's almost impossible to mess up a crockpot chicken recipe.

There are some tips, however, that will help make your crockpot chicken recipes turn out excellently every time.

First of all you should always fill the pot to the correct level.

The pot should be 1/2 to 3/4 full. If you overfill your food will not cook enough. To empty and it will overcook.

If your recipe calls for fresh vegetables they should added to the pot first. They will take longer to cook than the chicken.

Now that might not sound logical but try putting them on top once!

An exception to the veggies first rule is tender vegetables such as tomatoes or peas.

They should be added toward the end of cooking time.

The same with dairy products, such as yogurt or sour cream, they should be added only a short time before you serve dinner.

You don't want them to curdle. In addition to adding them last be sure your pot is on low.

Pasta and rice should also be added toward the end of cooking time. 45 minutes or so should be about right so they cook through without losing texture.

Thickeners, such as a flour slurry or cornstarch, can be added during the last hour of cooking. Place the crockpot on high so their thickening qualities are activated.

If you have the time your crockpot chicken will benefit by browning the chicken first. This will give the chicken some color and add to the visual appeal at serving time.

It will also render out some fat and will produce a wonderful fond in the skillet that can be deglazed and added to the pot.

Like I said crockpot cooking is very forgiving. Following the above tips and using our recipes will assure your success.
