Crock-pot chicken
Yield: 4 Servings
Ingredients:
- 3 Carrots sliced
- 1 Onion quartered
- 3 Celery stalks w/leaves - cut in 1-inch pieces
- 6 Mushrooms med size sliced
- 2 Garlic cloves - coarsely chopped
- 2 ts Salt
- 1/2 ts Black pepper
- 1 ts Basil leaves
- 1/2 c Water chicken broth - or white wine
- 1 Whole chicken
Instructions:
about 3 lbs Put carrots celery and mushrooms in bottom of crock-pot. Place whole chicken on top. Place onions and garlic around chicken placing some of each in cavity of the chicken. Top with the salt pepper and liquid. Sprinkle the basil over the chicken. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours (using HIGH 3 1/2 to 5 hours using 1 cup liquid). Remove chicken and veggies. I serve this with rice but you could also add some potatoes in the crock- pot (if you have room) and that'll work too. FOR A GRAVY I've used 4 tb of flour in the drippings and used a hand blender (it came out nicely)... Or you can use 1 can of Cream of Mushroom soup blended into the "drippings."
