Crock pot ideas/Recipie

Knotts famous chicken stew recipe

Step 1) roast a chicken or pick up roasted chicken ie: at Costco we got one at Berkeley Bowl.
Step 2) enjoy roast chicken with whatever you enjoy roast chicken with, beer, chocolate...

Step 3) take remainder of roast chicken and toss it in crock pot. You have the option of removing the skin. I left it on...then skimmed the crock pot goodness. More flavor that way and still removes the fat. Don't worry about prep, the chicken will simply fall apart.

toss in
1 whole onion diced
lots of carrots diced
1 whole bunch of celery diced small
think it was about 2 potatoes cut up
about 4-5 or so large brown mushrooms cleaned, cut up
1 Bay Leaf (don't tell anyone, it was from Samuel P Taylor State Park)
add water near top of contents, not over
walk the dog, let the dog out, turn crock pot on, leave for work.

come home to yummy chicken stew goodness

Note I have a ginormous crock pot (hey, it was on sale!) so will be freezing this. I have been told that the 'tatoes don't freeze well but on thawing will just result in a thicker stew like a cream of chicken soup type thang.
