Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Well, the recipe I promised turned out OK, so here it is... Crock-Pot Chicken with Lima Beans Serves 4 (7 pts./serv.)* 1 whole chicken, cut up and skin removed (don't use giblets/back/etc.) Salt and pepper 1 tbsp. vegetable oil 1 16 oz. bag of lima beans 2 large (10 oz. raw weight each) potatoes, washed and cubed 1 c. chicken broth** 1/4 tsp. thyme*** Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in skillet; cook chicken in oil until browned on both sides. Combine chicken and remaining ingredients in crock-pot. Cover and cook on Low for 4-6 hours.**** *This made a LOT. We each ate our 1/4 of the recipe last night, but for tomorrow's leftovers, I think we're each going to have 1/6 of the recipe and count it as 5 points. **You may need more broth than that. I did--mine got kind of dried out. ***I didn't have any thyme. I seasoned with rosemary instead, and it was still very god. ****I stuck mine in the fridge overnight, then cooked on Low all day (about 10 hours). That may be why I needed a bit more broth. Next time, I'll put about 1/2 cup extra in. I put everything in the crockpot, then put the chicken on top. When I got home, the chicken was falling off the bone, so I took it off the bone, added about 1/2 c. more broth, and added the boneless chicken. When we ate, it was moist, but not soupy at all; all the liquid was absorbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
