Do you have a crockpot?
If so it's the perfect opportunity to create some easy and yummy chicken dishes that are not only awesome to eat but inexpensive to make!
Some quick ideas....
Toss the chicken in the crock pot, cover with a jar of salsa and cook. Serve over rice or in taco shells, topped with shredded cheese.
Pour a bottle of Italian salad dressing over the chicken and cook in the oven or crockpot. Quite yummy with a side of noodles or any other pasta and a warmed up loaf of Italian bread!
Wrap chicken with bacon, place in oven and cook until juices run clear. Top with a slice of cheddar for a yummy bacon cheddar chicken!
Boil the chicken, chop up and make a chicken salad by adding mayo or miracle whip, pickle relish, salt, pepper and serve on croissants or hearty rolls.
Place chicken in crockpot or oven, pour a can of jellied cranberry sauce over top and cook. Comes out with an almost sweet and sour taste.
Stir fry chicken cut up in strips with a little oil in a pan, toss with some frozen veggies of choice and either soy sauce or bottled terryaki sauce and serve over rice for an oriental dish.

wow this is great thanks. They all shound great. the first one with the salsa do you cube or leave it whole. I think the bacon one will be my favorite. It sounds like one I ate at Out bak Steack house. The chicken salad do you use sweet or regular pickle relish? If I cook the cranberry in the oven would you say 1 hour at 350? I could always use the crockpot if I needed to.

This was just what I was looking for. Easy great receipes. that sound great. You also posted them perfect. I hope you got paid alot for it. Because that was also the point of this post. If you don't mind I like to share a few of my goodies too.
5 large baking potatoes
8 slices bacon
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
8 green onions, sliced, divided
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Bake potatoes in preheated oven for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
When potatoes are done allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl; save skins. To the potato flesh add sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 the green onions. Mix with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Top each with remaining cheese, green onions and bacon.
Bake for another 15 minutes.
1 (29 ounce) can peach halves, drained
5 bone-in pork loin chops (1 inch thick)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
Drain peaches, reserving 1/4 cup juice (discard remaining juice or save for another use); set fruit and juice aside. In a large skillet, brown pork chops on both sides in oil; transfer to a slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon mix well. Add the tomato sauce, and reserved peach juice. Pour over the chops. Arrange peach halves on top. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the meat is tender.
(I also though chops in crock and slap all in at once when in a hurry it still taste great)
purse Cake
white frosting
2 drops red liquid food coloring
7 ounces sweetened shredded coconut
Dark Chocolate Cake
About 10 large malted milk balls
1 heart-shaped chocolate/flat square dove choclate
1. Tint frosting with red food coloring to desired shade; set aside. Place coconut and red food coloring in a resealable plastic bag. Seal bag, and shake well to color coconut evenly; set aside.
2. Using a serrated knife, trim top of cake level then split horizontally, forming two layers. Place cake layers on a cutting board. With offset spatula, smooth 1 1/2 cups frosting over one layer. Top with second layer, pressing lightly to adhere. Cut crosswise into three equal rectangles (9 by 4 inches). Smooth 1/2 cup frosting over top of one rectangle. Top with a second rectangle, pressing lightly. Smooth 1/2 cup frosting over top of second rectangle. Top with the third rectangle, forming a cake with six layers.
3. Measure 1 1/2 inches from one of the short sides of the cake, and place a long skewer through the cake at this point. Repeat on the second short side (this will help hold cake in place while cutting and ensure the cake is trimmed evenly). Position cake with one the long side facing edge of counter. Starting at the skewers, use a serrated knife to trim away sides of cake at an angle, forming a purse shape; the widest part at the bottom should measure about 9 inches and the narrowest part at the top should measure about 6 inches. Thinly coat entire cake in frosting. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
4. Smoothly coat cake with remaining frosting, using offset spatula. Pat colored coconut evenly over surface of cake.
5. Use a trussing needle to poke a hole through the center of each malted milk ball. String the malted milk balls onto an 18-inch length of cloth-wrapped floral wire. Bend into an arc, and stick ends into top of cake to form the handle. Stick a toothpick into the back of the chocolate. Stick toothpick into cake, centered on front about 2 inches from top, to secure the heart to the cake.
Thanks for your input hope you like mine as well.

I was told to throw it in the microwave but I find this really weird to do. I would usually just boil it or let it sit out to defrost. But if you need to cook it now, just boil it. I guess. Well, how are you going to cook it at first?

you can bake,boil,pan fry.If you boil it,you can tear it off the bone and use it for stir frys.Here is a good meal and I am glad to share it."Chicken Stoup".It isn't soup and it isn't stew,it is stoup.Here is how to make it.Boil four or five pieces of chicken in salt water.Not strong salt water.When chicken is done,remove from water(which is now chicken broth).While chicken is cooling,add different kinds of veggies to the chicken broth,and cook.When chicken is cool enough to handle,remove meat from the bone.Separating fat and grisle,using meat only.Add meat to veggies,and cook until veggies are done.Season to taste with onion salt,oragano,pepper,ect.
As an option I cook rice and to it.You can also use noodles instead of rice.
With Thanksgiving coming,you can make some "Turkey Stoup" also.
Enjoy it everyone.

You have so many dishes to do with chicken. I will tell u some of them. It may be a normal one. But I know only south Indian items.
But if I start giving all the dishes. Time is not sufficient.
A simple side dish i say. Clean the chicken with hot water. take chicken masala, chilly power, turmeric power, salt all togeather in a cup as karam req. by u. mix it. take one lemon and 2 spoons of curd seperately each. Mix each piece of chicken in that cup of masala each piece ok. then spray this lemon and curd on it. keep this as such for 15 min.
Then fry it in oil. Dry chicken side dish.
I know to make chicken masala, chicken gravy, chicken biriyani. Tell me which one u want me to give idea with.

We eat soo many varieties of chicken in India. Everything is yummy. After coming to US, I am seeing that you guys eat very limited versions of chicken. I never ate a chicken which is just boiled or which is just plain fried on a barbecue before coming to US.
Oh My... If i think about the taste of chicken iam missing i feel like taking an immediate vacation to India.
Tandoori, tikka masala, rashmi kabob, manchurian, chicken 65, hyderabadi, mughalai,afgani, chilli chicken... oh... wait.. i am going to talk to my boss now... I have to check the flights also...
Let me know what recipes you would like to have... i have tons of them.

When i have a freezer full of chicken i like to make some home made chicken noodle soap. My family loves it. Just add some chicken, add some noodles, and if you like them add some veggies to the mix. This makes a great lunch or dinner. Good luck and enjoy.
