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 chicken recipes should be at 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 are the kitchen basics I need?
Kitchen basics that every kitchen should have are pots and pans (in a variety of sizes), measuring cups, measuring spoons, mixing bowls and an assortment of kitchen gadgets that make life easier.

One of these gadgets is a can opener. Being forced to saw off the bottom of a can could take a little of the fervor away from cooking. Also consider keeping whisks, spatulas and tongs as part of your cooking basics.

Another item basic that is used often is a drainer/strainer. These can come in the form of bowls or be part of a boiling pan set. It is used to drain spaghetti water from the pasta or can be used for anything similar.
