I just created my own recipe (probably for the first time). I dumped a bunch of stuff in the slow cooker and I'm hoping that it will #1) be fully cooked by dinner time and #2) that it will taste halfway decent. I don't really know what possessed me to try this today. I guess I'm wanting to use what fresh produce we currently have before it goes bad and thought, "What the hay? Let's see what happens." ;-)
Here's what I used in case you'd like to try it too. I'll let you know how it turns out...
- 1 whole chicken fryer
- 10-12 baby carrots
- 2 onions, peeled and quartered
- 1-14.5 oz can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 2 Tbs. vinegar
- 1 Tbs. chili powder
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
- basil
- oregano
- honey
I placed my frozen fryer (see why I'm hoping it's done by dinner time?) in the cooker and dumped the diced tomatoes on top. Then I added the apple juice and vinegar (along the sides, not over the chicken). Next came the chili and onion powders over the chicken as well as a sprinkling of basil and oregano to taste. I placed the carrots and onions around the chicken, onions on top and drizzled with honey to taste.
I probably would have added some potatoes too, if we'd had any. Guess we'll see what happens. If this is any good, I'll need a name for it. Thoughts? :) Wish me luck!
