crock pot dinner ideas

Tbone- "So, do you add any water? I always have trouble knowing how much water to add to chicken when cooking it for broth.

     Nope. I put the chicken or any meat for that matter in without any liquids. Otherwise it just turns into soup. But after the cooking is done there is a couple of cups of delicious juice left over. I don't even make it into a gravy or suace, I pour the juice over my rice or veges or whatever.

If I'm making my own broth, I put the seasoned chicken into the crockpot or stock pot on the stove, lightly boil for about an hour. Remove the chicken and you have seasoned broth. If you don't want it seasoned just add water. I do make my own broth like this.

Ef    I am a definate Foody! so yes I've tried honey on lots and lots of foods. Salty crackers with cream cheese and honey is pure wonderfulness

I guess then that I'll just have to leave it as a recommendation for others to try.  Maybe I won't be the only one who loves chicken with honey on it.  I don't claim any merits as a cook so I'll leave it for all who are willing to try it out, to use the quantity that sounds right to them. 

But just so as not to be totally out of the picture, I'll mention one of the "bastes" that I use sometimes:  make a half and half paste of honey and mustard and spread it evenly over the chicken meat before it goes into the crock pot (with whatever else you use).  Sounds horrible, but it tastes great.

Yum! That doesn't sound horrible at all. I mean even McDonalds gave away honey mustard sauce with their nuggets a few years back. It would be great on meat off the grill as well

There's very few meats in the world that can beat honey basted ham.

Sorry, EF, but you really do miss out on some good eating, not eating pork.

ef, i do use honey in bastes or marinades, but mostly on turkey and chicken, not beef.......

i make a killer turkey on the grill with a simple honey marinade at thanksgiving..........and other times of the year with just a turkey breast.....

I guess we all have to miss out on some of the better things of life in order to maintain our principles.

If you have not tried coyote you are not qualified to say YUK. And no need to read farther.

Can I substitute my neighbor's chicken killing German Sheppard?

I have to agree with Ef, it's hard to beat honey on chicken. Specially hot fried chicken.

Lima beans are deelicious in the crock pot. Bag of beans, a hamhock or whatever seasoning meat you like, a couple of cups of water, salt and lots of black pepper. Served with hot cornbread and a sliced onion. Maybe a glass of buttermilk, if you're lucky.
