whoopazz Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I think it depends on how you want your chicken. One of my favorite things to do with a crockpot is make chicken for enchiladas, tacos, etc. At the end of a long day in the pot, the chicken easily shreds with a couple forks. Its very moist and has absorbed a lot of flavor from the spices. I think shredded chicken would work fine in jambalaya as well; you just have to go through the quick shredding process at the end. How bout some details. Which pieces work best, what are the spices? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seattle LawDawg Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 How bout some details. Which pieces work best, what are the spices? Thanks Well, the spices are to taste but here's a rough idea: Clean 4 chicken breasts and throw them into the slow-cooker. Add good amounts of the following spices. Keep in mind that the chicken will cook for a number of hours and spice flavors will dilute so make sure you add enough: Cumin Minced Garlic Chili Powder Crushed Red Pepper Garlic Salt Cayenne Pepper Either cut a lime into quarters and toss them in or add a good amount of lime juice. The former being the better of the two options. Add 1/2 onion, chopped (sweet onion works fine) and a couple of chopped green chilis. Throw in 3 whole chipotle peppers. Make small slices in the peppers but do not cut through. Next add some chicken stock. You want the chicken breasts to be mostly covered. Finally, add a little tequila....to your margherita.....then to the chicken. Cover and cook for 6-8 hours. The meat should shred easily with forks when properly cooked through. Shred the chicken 30 minutes before you are ready to eat so that the chicken has more time to absorb the juices. I'm constantly changing this, usually based on what I have on hand at the time, but this is a rough idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefjay Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I forgot to do the rice at the end. I have a lot leftover; I'll do the rice tonight. I was wondering what it was missing. Still good for sure. Need the rice offset though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
