Crock Pot Roasted Chicken

Crock Pot Roasted Chicken

This is so easy and tastes as good as any Rotisserie Chicken from the grocery store. I had no idea that a crock pot could actually brown a chicken. Very good!!  I really try to buy several whole chickens when they go on sale and freeze them to have on hand.  This is a great go to recipe for whole chickens.  


whole chicken
one lemon
2 chicken bouillon cubes
4 T. soy sauce
1t garlic
2 T. chopped parsley
salt/pepper
paprika

In a small bowl, squeeze the juice of the lemon. Place the leftover lemon halves  and one bouillon cube in the cavity of the cleaned chicken(remove the bag of gizzards). In the bowl with the lemon juice, add the soy sauce, and garlic and mix. Place the chicken in the crock pot and pour the mixture over the chicken. Lightly salt and pepper the chicken. Crumble the remaining bouillon cube on top of the chicken along with a little paprika and fresh parsley. Cover and cook on high for 4 -5 hours.  Very good and very moist.  

Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Lasagna

Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Lasagna

Ingredients:
3 boneless chicken breasts cooked and shredded
1 c. Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sauce(Moore's is also good)
30 oz. bottle of Spaghetti Sauce

Lasagna noodles uncooked
small tub of ricotta cheese
1/2 packet powdered Ranch dressing mix
2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1 c. celery diced small
1/4 c water

Directions:
In a bowl combine the chicken, buffalo sauce, celery and pasta sauce(I'll call this the sauce from here on). Spray your crock pot with non stick spray. Put a large spoonful of sauce on on the bottom of the crock pot and spread it out to cover the bottom. Add a layer of broken up noodles. I used 3 full pieces broken up per layer, but we like noodles. You could easily get by with 2. Mix the powdered ranch dressing in with the tub of ricotta(this is easier when your ricotta is not so cold). Put small spoonfuls of ricotta evenly dispersed over the noodles(use about 1/3). Top with about 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat the layers until you have 3 layers(Sauce, noodles, cheese). On the final layer top with the sauce and the cheese. Pour the water evenly over the lasagna(be sure to get the edges). Cook on low for 4-5 hours or on High for 2-3 hours. Delicious
