The beauty of using a slow cooker or a Crock-Pot is that it's pretty darn simple. Prep your ingredients, add them to the slow cooker and press a button or two. But there is a difference between a good slow-cooker meal and a great slow-cooker meal. Good ones get dinner on the table. Great ones, however, are remembered, talked about and requested. Here are some tips that can help you turn basic slow-cooker dinners into standout supper stars everyone will enjoy. These tips will also help you know when a slow-cooker recipe is destined to be great. Tips Coating the inside of the slow cooker with a non-stick spray can prevent the need for scrubbing later. Liner bags made for slow cookers make cleanup quick, effortless cleanup. For most slow cookers, the high setting is approximately 280 F and the low setting is approximately 170 F. Cooking on high for one hour is about equal to cooking on the low setting for two hours. Add fresh herbs at the end to keep their flavors bright and fresh. Place hard vegetables, like potatoes, carrots, and other root vegetables at the bottom of the slow cooker where they will have more moisture and cook swiftly. Crockpot BBQ Chicken This is going to be the easiest BBQ chicken you have ever made. I'm not joking! Nothing beats the flavor. This is The Best Crockpot BBQ Chicken recipe ever! Ingredients 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 cup BBQ sauce 1/4 cup Italian dressing 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce salt to taste Instructions Season chicken breast lightly ( a small pinch per breast) with some sea salt and place in your crockpot. In a mixing bowl combine BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until well combined. Pour over chicken, cover and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours Once the time is up, you can serve the breast whole, or shred with 2 forks. If shredding, recover and let cook in the sauce for about 10-15 more minutes to soak up all that delish flavor. Serve on buns, over rice, in wraps, on a salad or eat a plateful as is! Our favorite way is on fresh rolls, topped with coleslaw.
