My mim always said to have a chicken cooking before a storm. You can make a lot from it....sammiches and such....

Chicken in a crock pot. Great idea! The herbed garlic butter sounds fab. Good technique. I do a slow cooked braised chicken in a dutch oven, in the oven. Really simple just chicken, olive oil, garlic, browned on top of the stove, deglaze with white wine, remove from heat. Add roasted green chilis or roasted red peppers, fresh lemon juice, a little stock and put in the oven, covered, at 350 for 1.5 hours. You can serve this over rice, with tortillias, with pasta...lots of options. Or as is, with a green vegetable for a low carb high protein option. I do a little grapefruit, red onion, avocado salad on the side.

I need to get some of my food pics uploaded to Picasa or somewhere so I can post them.
