"Dump" Chicken crockpot recipes... (2024)

A friend of mine sent me these, and since I love my crockpot, I thought I'd share...

These recipes are called "DumpChicken" because you "dump" raw chicken (I usually use boneless, skinless breasts) into a gallonsized ziploc bag and then add the seasonings and oil.

Very Simple.

I usually just put 3 chicken breasts - one per person for our family. If your kids are light eaters, then you might just use 3 and have them split one.

> A lot of these I just serve over rice. You can also make

>
> Label and freeze the prepared bags laying flat. After
