I found a wonderful way to provide a convenience feature to save even more time with the crockpot again and that is a few days worth of meat at once, then use the cooked meat for a few nights value of upcoming meals. You must have a great slowcooker for this, if you do not have a large crockpot again, not to go out and buy a new one because they are abundant in thrift stores.
Because I'm working on healthier meals for my family, this article will refer to Boneless Skinless chicken breast, but the idea with a meat can be applied.
The first day, after the spraying of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray (great tip for easy clean-up), I have a few cut-up carrots added to the bottom of the pot and seasoned with herbs salt. You can find all the vegetables of your choice, which would go with one of your upcoming meals. Than I layers of Boneless Skinless chicken breast at the top (probably about 3-4 kg worth), added each layer with fresh chopped garlic herbs and herbal salt (an added advantage ... your home smells so good all day).Make sure that there is no trim fat from the chest to the pot before you. I added about 1/2 cup of water, the valve placed on the top and the slow cooker to low & cooked approximately 8 hours. Simple enough juicy meat cooked for at least 3 days work meals!
Meal 1: the first night we had chicken buns.After spraying a pan with non-stick cooking spray, I toasted ONION rolls over medium heat, then let the family add their own herbs such as cut tomatoes and onions, lettuce, mayonnaise, mustard, etc., and a piece of the cooked chicken. they were delicious! I served with oven fries the buns ... just slice potatoes, put them on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, spray the potatoes with the spray, season and 400f for 40-60 minutes to cook for. These are better than the soaked in oil ... honestly, and I am one who loves the deef-baked French fries and all manure food!
Meal # 2: because I a few more UI rolls of meal # 1, I will make a delicious barbecue sauce (you can bottled), then add chicken to segment the sauce and serve, editor and writer who talks about the buns toasted ONION. we have the carrots that are prepared with the chicken and baked potatoes to the side.
Meal 3: I make a delicious marinara sauce, add cooked chicken cut-up, and on spaghetti with garlic bread on the side.A great way to taste and nutrients to spaghetti or marinara sauce is chopped carrots, celery and other vegetables add to the sauce. you can bake them together with the onions, or add them directly to the sauce.
These are just a few ideas. chicken is so versatile that endless ideas for the use of the cooked meat in meals. you could do, salads, soups, stews and more. If you have a soup, make sure you're using the delicious broth, that this creates!
I hope that this will give you the inspiration for dusting in the slow cooker and to use ... they are great so to save time, even if you use them for a meal of nights.
