Hi guys! Ok chicken has to be my favorite meat..not only is it low in fat and carbs but high in protien. I'm on a low carb diet (carbs are my enemy ) and am looking for new ways to switch up my chicken. Now to let you know I usually use frozen chicken (not fresh) and I generally only defrost it in the microwave a few minutes as needed to usually pan fry. Does anyone know of any good chicken recipes? I can leave the chicken in the fridge overnight to defrost in order to use it in the crockpot...any ideas (crockpot or other) would be great. Thanks!

Man alive, I need to get my eyes checked. I thought you were posting a recipe for chicken butts

Our Weight Watchers forum has a category for crockpot recipes that has some good ones for chicken.

We don't have many crockpot recipes in our recipe section on the main site, but we do have a large collection of poultry recipes that might be helpful

Hey all! I am new here but so far I love this site!! There is so much great information. Thanks to all of you!!
Here is a chicken recipe that I got out of a Light and Tasty Cookbook sometime last year. It looks like a lot of work but it's really not bad-I swear! It is totally worth it too. It is one of our favorites-and my husband and daughter even like it. I usually just use chicken thighs or drumsticks when they are on sale. Hope you like it!

Makeover Butter Roasted Chicken:

1 broiler/fryer (2-1/2 lbs), cut up and skin removed
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp butter or stick margarine
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Palce chicken in an ungreased 13x9 inch baking dish. Combine the remaining ingredients in a small saucepan;bring to a boil. Remove from heat and pour over chicken. Cover and bake at 325 for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until juices run clear, basting occasionally. Yield: 4 servings.

I chopped my mostly defrosted chicken breasts into bite sized pieces and started cooking them in a nonstick dutch oven (with a tbsp of olive oil). When the were mostly done I added two sliced onions. When they were getting soft, I added one red and one green pepper (cut into bite sized pieces). When that started to bubble again, I put it all in the crockpot to take to a potluck.
