C. Breasts in Slow cooker? Work?

Certainly the chicken would cook. Since you're using the crockpot, you could use chicken pieces on
the bone for more flavor and less money.

I thought about putting a couple of skinless chicken breasts in a crockpot and then pouring a
couple of cans of Cream of Mushroom soup over them. If I cooked this on low, all day, would the
chicken get done? Would breasts with skin be better so the chicken fat mixes with the soup?

In the past I usually would bake this and pour the gravy over bread on a plate and then place the
breasts on top. Very good. Do you think mixing egg noodles with the sauce and then cutting up the
chicken and mixing it would be good?

Thanks in advance for your help. Mark Ferrante

Certainly it will be cooked but for very little more effort you could have a much better meal byt he
addition of some vegetables.

It would be edible but not good nutrition. The crockpot is a marvellous invention for people short
of time or who aren't great cooks and it is very hard to make any real disasters if you think about
combinations you may have had in other meals in the past. Do try some vegetables in your dish - like
peas and/or carrots or diced potato or celary or mushrooms diced or spincah or zuchini/courgettes
etc. You could use most soups as a base but you could also just use chicken stock cubes made into a
stock and mixed with flour or a can of whole or piece tomatoes.

I've always cooked a meal similar to this (no veggies in the mix) and have tried it with boneless
skinless chicken, just skinless chicken with bones, and chicken with skin on and bones in. I've
tried it in the crockpot and in the oven baked (I always add 1/4 cup of sherry in the sauce tho. So
good!) Anyway, the chicken and sauce has always come out the tastiest when I leave the bones in and
skin on, without a doubt.

After I bake mine, I always place the chicken over cooked white rice and pour the sauce over it.
It's really good! - - Oh, then I have veggies on the side. :-)

When cooking chicken in a crockpot (breasts, about 2-3), how long should I cook it and high or low,
or high then low?

Thanks, Mark

I'd cook them on high for a few hours; you can test the chicken with a fork. If you're using bone-in
chicken in a crock pot in a dish like this, you don't want it falling off the bone because the bones
end up in the sauce. If you cook it on low, your chances of bones falling off is greater; this is
from experience because you have to cook it longer.

Hope this helps.
