Looking for a recipe that uses boneless chicken breast and a starch, like rice/potatoes. Dh isn't fond of cooked vegetables (except mushrooms and onions) and we don't eat beans.

TIA

Are you looking for a standard dinner or something for Shabbat lunch?

IMO, chicken breast don't do well in the crock pot for more than 5 hours or so because they get dried out very quickly.

Although I did make a crock pot gumbo once... only the rice was a gummy mess... (obviously I left out the shrimp)

standard dinner.
I'm home all day so it's not like it will be cooking from 7 am...

Chicken bottoms come out better in the crockpot, but as long as you have enough of a saucy liquid in there, the chicken breasts should be fine.
Do you have salsa at home? You can pour it over the chicken breasts, along with any other seasoning you like. Cook on low for 6-7 hours.
Or make a honey mustard sauce (3/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup mustard.)
Or use any thick bottled salad dressing.
I would put some sliced onions on bottom of the chicken to help give the chicken more moisture.
For rice, do you have crockpot bags, and the time to stick it in the crockpot with boiling water 1 hour before chicken finishes cooking?

No salsa/crockpot bags here.
I've read through all your recipes and they sound amazing but Dh wont go for chicken on the bone/meat/beans so I'm really limited. I guess I can stick to other recipes, just wanted to try out a crock pot dinner since they sound so easy and yummy!

Thanks! I would make any saucy chicken breast in the crock. And if you have enough sauce to cover the chicken with something placed under it as well, I would place sweet potato underneath. Should be yum.

I make chicken (boned chicken) and rice all the time in the crockpot. I usually use Pam to spray the crock pot. Is it better with crockpot bags?

The crock pot bag is used if you want plain steamed rice to serve with the main dish, but don't want to make another pot dirty.
It cooks separately, with just plain boiling water, in the a knotted crock pot bag. And it is placed on top of the chicken in the crock, one hour before chicken is done.

This is really yummy - http://shine.yahoo.com/channel.....1116/

It doesnt have a starch in it, but all it takes is a quick rice to go with it and its a great meal (or rolls to make it into sandwiches)

Got this from these recipe boards- BEST and easiest recipe ever. DH LOVES!!

Pulled Chicken:

1.5 lb chicken cutlets (4 halves)
1 onion, sliced
1/2 cup your favourite BBQ sauce - I always use tons more so the chicken is totally covered
1 T brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 T soy sauce

In crockpot, layer chicken, onion, BBQ sauce, garlic, and soy sauce. Cover and cook on High for 3.5-4 hours or low 6-8 hours. Using 2 forks, shred chicken. Use in sandwhiches and add toppings - mayo, lettuce, pickles...
