Crock Pot Rotisserie-Style Chicken

Here is another awesome recipe to add to the rotation.  I found this recipe here. My husband loved this recipe, which is a huge plus.  And it was SO easy.  Seriously prep time less than 10 minutes. 

Crock Pot Rotisserie-Style Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 (3.5-4.5lb) chicken
• 2 stalks celery, cut into 2″ pieces
• 1 onion, cut into 1-2″ pieces
• 2½ tsp salt
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• ½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

1. Place onion and celery on the bottom of your slow cooker. Remove and discard any giblets or neck from your chicken. In a small bowl, combine salt, paprika, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder. Rub spice mixture over chicken. Place chicken on top of the onion and celery.
2. Cover and cook chicken on high 5-6 hours or until very tender.

Notes

*You can prepare the chicken the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Then, all you need to do is turn on the slow-cooker the next day.

Ranch House Crock Pot Pork Chops

Cafe Rio Pork

If you live in Utah or have been to Utah, you KNOW Cafe Rio pork. This is a GREAT recipe. I am going to start making it every couple weeks and freezing some. We've now eaten all the stuff we had in the freezer, by eating them on nachos and also just in tortillas. It is SOOOO good! Great sweet pork! I found the recipe here.

2 pounds pork

3 cans Coke (NOT diet)

1/4 c. brown sugar

dash garlic salt

1/4 c. water

1 can sliced green chilies

3/4 can enchilada sauce (I use Old El Paso brand, medium spiciness but any will work)

1 c. brown sugar

Put the pork in a heavy duty ziploc bag to marinade. Add about a can and a half of coke and about 1/4 c. of brown sugar. Marinade for a few hours or overnight.

Drain marinade and put pork, 1/2 can of coke, water, and garlic salt in crock pot on high for about 3-4 hours (or until it shreds easily, but don't let it get TOO dry) or on low for 8 hours.

Remove pork from crock pot and drain any liquid left in the pot. Shred pork.In a food processor or blender, blend 1/2 can Coke, chilies, enchilada sauce and remaining brown sugar (about a cup, you can add a little more or less to taste..). If it looks too thick, add more Coke little by little.

Put shredded pork and sauce in crockpot and cook on low for 2 hours. That's it!

Aloha Pork Chops

These were amazing!!! We LOVED them. The recipe calls for the crushed pineapple, but I added some sliced pineapple too. SO yummy!! Plan to make these when you aren't going to be around the house, because they make your house smell SOOOO yummy, you won't be able to be around without wanting to dip in.

4-5 boneless pork chops
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and diced **(I used a whole green pepper)
1 medium chopped onion
20 oz. crushed pineapple **(I also added a couple sliced pineapple slices)
18 oz. honey-mustard barbeque sauce **(I couldn't find honey MUSTARD, so I just used Honey BBQ sauce. And I just poured almost the whole bottle in)

Place pork chops in greased crock pot. Sprinkle bell pepper and onion over meat. Spread drained pineapple over top. Pour barbeque sauce evenly over pineapple. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Cut meat into chunks **(we just ate whole porkchops). Makes 4-6 servings. Serve over hot cooked brown rice.

Creamy Black Bean Salsa Chicken

This week I have been trying to be better at cooking dinner. This was a recipe that my friend had in a cookbook she gave me. It was SO good, Glen loved it.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 c. chicken broth

1 c. salsa

10 oz. corn, drained

15 oz. black beans, drained

1 pkg taco seasoning

1/2 sour cream

1 c. grated cheddar cheese

Place chicken in greased crock pot. Pour broth, salsa, corn, beans, and taco seasoning

over chicken. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours. Remove chicken. Stir sour cream and

cheese into sauce in slow cooker, then pour over chicken. Serves 4. Serve with

warm flour tortillas and spanish rice.

...not exactly the most appetizing picture, but it tastes good...

These really were SO easy and so good. We ate the leftovers tonight for dinner. I just shredded

the chicken and we threw them on top of chips for nachos! AMAZING!!!
