Delicious chicken recipe. I used 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts and put some sliced onion in the bottom of the crockpot and then topped the chicken with onion slices and lemon slices. For the seasoning I used Emeril's Essence seasoning and cooked them about 7.5 hours on low. Really good! Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup.

This recipe makes a better chicken than just regular seasoning and crockpotting because it keeps the chicken out of the grease and fluids. It also gives the chicken a good flavor. I seasoned mine the night before. However, it does not give you a crispy skin like you'd have with a rotisserie; the chicken is soft and a little rubbery. For those who mentioned that the chicken fell apart and was a little dry, that's a sign of an overcooked chicken. Mine was large -- a 5 lber, at least -- and was done in 6.5 hours.

Wonderfully easy and delicious! I changed the seasonings to our taste, skipped the paprika, covered with some thin sliced red onion, crushed garlic, lemon slices and topped with squeese of lemon and 1/3 cup white wine. Enjoyed with freash veggies tonight. Now to decide what to make with the delicious leftovers!

This was AMAZING--I never have that great of luck with chicken but this turned out wonderfully (with VERY little work!). I read some other recipes, & based on that, I rolled some foil balls & put them in the bottom of the crockpot to keep the chicken out of the oil. Then, I put the chicken on top of the balls (subbed rosemary for thyme as that is what I had, and stuffed about 15 crushed garlic cloves between the skin & meat), then tossed some cubed potatoes, large carrot chunks, and leeks on the top. Cooked on high for 2.5 hours; perfection!! I was thoroughly impressed; this was a very low-cost, high-flavor meal!!

Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home & community cookbooks. The minute I get a cookbook home I sit down and I read my cookbooks from front to back like novels. I work for the Elmira City School District and YWCA. I'm raising my 8 yrs old newphew. I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have 1 cats Samantha and 1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September 2011. I'm recently married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece 9 yrs old and my newphews 7 & 8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons. I love the internet as there's so much to look at online even though you know where I spend most of my time! I enjoy going to yard sales and estate sales every spring - fall. I love gardening and have many different pretty flowers.</p>
