Chicken Recipes For The Best Family Meals
By Ginger O’Riley
Chicken recipes are available online, on cooking shows, cooking
magazines and in dedicated cookbooks.
We have found the best chicken recipes are those we use with
a slow cooker. Our family always looks forward to a well cooked
meal of skinless chicken pieces with vegetables and herbs, cooked
with a slow cooker.
I usually set the slow cooker before I leave for work, and by
the time I am back home, the meal is ready for serving. I have
also tried chicken recipes using a crock pot, but I have not found
the meal as delicious, as when cooked with a slow cooker.
Chicken Is Not The Tastiest Meat
Anyone who does a lot of cooking will tell you that chicken by
itself is not the tastiest meat. Steak is more intense, pork is
more distinctive, and fish is more complex.
Nevertheless, chicken has an advantage over all of these meats.
Chicken is by far the most versatile meat there is. Turkey doesn’t
compare, and even pork is left in the dust. That is why you should
review your options and seek chicken recipes to make as the center
of any meat eater’s menu.
The first person to look to when you are trying to find new chicken
recipes is your mother. Every mother – or father, if he was the
one who cooked in your family – has at least one chicken recipe
that she cherishes above all else.
Chicken Curry Recipe
For my mom, it was her chicken curry recipe. It was absolutely
delicious. It had chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, tons of turmeric,
and of course a spicy curry sauce. She taught it to me when I
went off to college, and I’ve been cooking it ever since. It is
a mainstay of my diet.
Of course everyone knows you can find chicken recipes in most
cookbooks, but a lot of people have never actually looked at a
dedicated chicken cookbook. I highly recommend getting one of
these.
Learning to cook in a particular ethnic style is great, but learning
to really know chicken inside and out is even better. Another
great way to find interesting chicken recipes is on the Internet.
Online Chicken Recipes
There are a lot of different free resources you can look at.
Even more interesting are some of the commercial sites. If you
buy food online, for example, some of the stores offer free recipes
to entice you into using their products. Some of the best chicken
recipes I have ever tried are from online food companies.
And don’t forget, everyone needs a chicken soup recipe. No matter
how healthy you are, you will one day run into a situation where
your nose is stuffed up, your body is sore, and all you want is
some chicken soup.
Knowing How To Make Chicken Soup Is A Necessity
Knowing how to make it in times like those is practically a lifesaver.
It’ll make you feel better, and will give you something that you
can keep down even if your stomach is killing you.
It is one of those necessities, like knowing how to boil potatoes
or cook rice. If you can’t make a good bowl of chicken soup, then
you can’t cook.
I always enjoy well cooked chicken pieces, in a slow cooker with
herbs and vegetables. I eat pickled red hot chillie peppers as
my appetizer, this helps me avoid full calorie salad dressing,
especially when I am on a diet, which is quite often.
Slow Cooker Chicken Recipes
To stick to my diet, I take out all the fat and all the skin.
I then cut the meat into small chicken pieces and place them in
the slow cooker with all the usual vegetables. I always place
the vegetables first and then the meat pieces on top.
This chicken recipe I use with my slow cooker, was in the box
when I bought the slow cooker. There were a couple of pages of
slow cooker recipes and I tried all the recipes to learn how to
use the slow cooker.
I have since found out you can buy bags for slow cookers. The
bags are full of ingredients for slow cooker recipes. I have bought
a couple of bags at the food store and used the recipes on the
back of the bags. Me and my family have decided we like using
the slow cooker for our chicken recipes.

Did You Know?
What is the best type of cookbook to buy if I'm a beginner cook?
The best type of cookbook for a beginner
is one that has a front section devoted entirely to explaining
different cooking terms, measurement conversions and adequate
substitutions.
The recipes should be simple to prepare
but not boring. A great tip when buying a beginner's cookbook
is to find one that has a sturdy cover, good binding such as the
type found in a three-ring binder, and pages that are not easily
stained. Betty Crocker has an excellent cookbook that works well
for beginners.
