ZWT 8 ~ A French Love Affair Challenge

[LifeIsGood]

I have completed A French Love Affair Challenge for team Herbaceous Curvaceous Honeys (that is a mouthful!). This was so much fun and the results were great, thanks to the original recipe of course!

I took momaphet's Poulet Rôti (Roast Chicken) #234424 and changed it a bit so I could cook it in the handy dandy crockpot. This is the new recipe I came up with Crockpot Roasted Chicken (Poulet Roti - a Recipe Inspired by Che #484340

Here are some adjustments I made for the crockpot:

I added 2 onions to put into the bottom of the crockpot as a base.

I used the same herb/spices from the original recipe but decreased the amounts a bit.

Cooked in the crockpot 4-6 hours on low, instead of roasting in the oven.

Voila!

P.S. I JUST saw your comment about meeting for lunch in a French bistro.... I'll hop in the car right now. How long do you think it would take me to drive cross-country? I'll be starving!!

Tonight I modified momaphet's Poulet Rôti (Roast Chicken) #234424 to become a crock pot dish - Poulet Roti (Roast Chicken) for the Crock Pot #484491, which turned out really well!



I made a couple of changes to make the original recipe crock pot friendly:
- made a paste out of the olive oil and herbs to really rub into the chicken and keep the herbs where I put them!
- put tin foil balls under the chicken to cook the it evenly.
- chicken had to browned after cooking, under the oven broiler.

Overall, I didn't have to do too much to convert this recipe! It was a great recipe for a crock pot!

I choose Chicken & Mushrooms With Creamy Dijon Sauce, 263405 by breezermom to convert to a crock pot recipe. I used the very same ingredients, the only thing I changed was to increase the amount of chicken broth and cooking sherry to increase the moisture content so that the chicken would not dry out as we were using chicken breasts which do have a tendency to dry out. I added the cooking times and a few small tweaks in the directions. It is a lovely recipe.

Sounds good and easy. I would ask if there were any leftovers for me - but I know your '3' boys!

Sounds (and looks) delicious! I'm guessing that there are no leftovers here either.

If I remember the trivia right - a bird eats something like 3 times it's weight everyday.

So......I think that sounds like I should show up for the next round! You will cook 3 birds, right?!

For the A French Love Affair Challenge:

Have adapted Ragout of Beef #417314 by Chocolatl for Crock Pot.
Adapted recipe ~ Crock Pot Ragout of Beef #484504

This is an adapted recipe for the crock pot using Ragout of Beef #417314 by Chocolatl. Serve with noodles. Original recipe served 4, I doubled it for my family. Loved the aroma of this dish while it cooked in the crock pot.

Used the same ingredients in the original recipes, followed the instruction for browning the meat and lightly browning the onions and green peppers. Didn't double the burgundy wine.

The changes to this recipe:

1. Doubled the recipe for my family.
2. Used 3 onions instead of 4.
3. Wrote instructions for cooking in crock pot.

Delicious meal. Served it with noodles.
