I have a Rival crockpot - two actually. One I find doesnt keep the food warm enough once it switches to the 'warm' mode - the other cooks everything perfectly!

For those who asked for chicken recipes for Shabbos - I make this all the time - for during the week and Shabbat lunch.

1 pack chicken, cut into eights (I usually buy 4 pieces of leg with backbone attached instead)
salt and pepper
1 onion, sliced
1 tbsp paprika
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp cumin
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tbsp honey
2 tsp turmeric
1/2 cup green olives, pitted
1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
1 can diced tomatoes (28 oz)

Saute onions and garlic until translucent. Add spices and saute for one minute.

Place onion and spice mixture into crockpot. Top with chicken, olives, lemons and can of diced tomatoes.

I cook on low for 10 hours.

Ra_mom, I made garlic chicken tonight and it burned a little. It was on High for for FIVE hours, could that be it? Also, would the puffed rice work with brown rice? I only use brown rice but that would be a great idea!

When I do chicken in the crockpoy I have a Preset which is 1 hour on hi, and then 4-7 hours on low.
Works beautifully.

Thanks ladies.

I had to leave the house at 12 and was back at 5:15, and the chicken was frozen to together so I couldn't do it before 11:45 or so. Plus the chicken went in pretty frozen. Scratching Head

Mine only has high, low and off.

I use a shabbos zeiger with my crockpot. For example, I leave it set on high, and it turns on automatically 4 hours before I get home, and turns off when done.

Here are 3 recipes using chicken breasts that comes out moist

One Pot Chicken Dinner
2 chicken breasts, split and skinned
4 med. potatoes
2 lg. carrots
1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen green beans
1 lg. onion
1 tbsp. dried parsley flakes
1/2 c. cooking wine
1 c. water

Place chicken breasts in bottom of crock pot. Peel potatoes, quarter, and place on top of chicken. Peel and quarter the onion. Peel carrots, quarter lengthwise, and cut into 2-inch lengths. Separate frozen beans, and place in the pot with onions and carrots. Sprinkle contents of pot with parsley flakes. Pour wine over all. Add water, using a little more than 1 cup, if necessary to cover. Cook on low 6-7 hours.

Sounds like a good recipe, but red or white wine? I'd assumed white as with chicken breasts but if you say cooking wine, makes me think red.

Firstly I just discovered this thread and I am so excited. Thanks for all the info. I've been looking for good crock pot recipes.
Just to clarify, you put frozen chicken into crock pot, throw your sauce or whatever else in and then set it in shabbos timer? If yes that sounds great cuz I leave house by 9:00 and kids get home by 4;00. Did u say to have it go on 4 hours before getting home? Did I see somewhere earlier in this thread that for frozen chicken some water should be added? Thanks again

gazingblue, I try not to use frozen poultry or meat in the crockpot.
Most of my crockpot dishes I cook on LOW for 8 hours, no timer.
If my recipe needs only 6 hours, I set the shabbos timer to go on 6 hours before supper time, so that it's fresh when we come home and it hasn't overcooked.

Ra_mom can you please share the meat stew recipe you referenced on page one but I didn't see it shared among all the other recipes? I have some meat chunks I had bought for cholent but they just didn't come out great in cholent and now I'm fishing for new ideas of what to do with them. Maybe next time I'll try seeing if I can do the beef and broccoli with them (I bought a whole bunch at once and froze in separate packets) but we already had broccoli today and I already defrosted the meat so it'll have to be tomorrow...

I need to find if I have exact measurements on this.

I throw together chopped onion, crushed garlic, 2-3 lbs. cubed meat, baby red potatoes, baby carrots, dried parsley, salt and pepper. Then I add 2 cups minus 2 Tbsp water. Cook on low 9 hours.
Mix 2 Tbsp cornstarch with 2 Tbsp water until smooth; add to crock and stir well to combine. (You can also add a handful of frozen peas at this point in you'd like.)
Turn setting to high, cover, and cook for an additional 20 minutes, or until thickened.

Of course you can use regular cubed potatoes and carrots, or whatever you have on hand.

OK, maybe I'll try it then. Nothing to lose as I have the meat and no other inspirational idea what to make with it. I have something like 3/4 lb of beef so will figure out how to scale it down I guess.
