Slow cooker/instant pot garlic Parmesan chicken & potatoes

by Rebecca June 4, 2020
written by Rebecca

Garlic Parmesan chicken is an easy and yet tranquil dish for the whole family. Make this meal in an instant pot or slow cooker. My preferred approach is to look at the images and videos here with your skinless chicken breasts. You can, however, use the favorite chicken cut, whether monochrome or bone-in, breasts, thighs, or legs. I know because I used all these cuts to make this recipe as well. Add to the cook another hour when using dark meat, as dark meat takes longer to cook than white meat.

You may want to brew the chicken in a pot before adding it to the slow cooker if you choose to use skin-on chicken. Of course, this is an optional step, you can throw it raw inside. If you look for crooked skin, you can remove it from the slow cooker or Instant Pot and put it in your oven broiler for a couple of minutes after the chicken has been cooked. Once more, optional too.

Crockpot Ranch Pork Chops and Potatoes

by Rebecca June 4, 2020
written by Rebecca

Crockpot Pork Chops and Potatoes is a great fast, easy and easy weekday dinner. Drop it all down and forget about your slow cooker. A new family favorite is going to be slow cooker pork chops! Slow-cooked pork chops with just a few ingredients are easy. We don’t use canned soup because I don’t use this as a whole lot, honestly. However, there are lots of this style of the recipe all around the Internet, if you look for the saucy canned soup of pork chops (no judgment here).

This is a spin-off from a popular slow cooker recipe, probably made by most of our moms. However, a scratch sauce is made instead of cans of condensed soup. I’m not a food snob – I promise – but not only tastes 100 times better to make your sauce, but it’s also really super simple. You need to open a can a bit longer, but believe me – it’s worth it! This pork chops and potatoes Slow cooker creamy ranch was a big hit in our house!  This is so simple to prepare, as it is done in the slow cooker. The main dish and two sides are all cooked in the simple creamy sauce of this ranch.  It’s just so easy to make and so yummy, I love this recipe.

Ingredients:

3 Lbs Red Potatoes – quartered

6 (3/4 inch) Boneless Pork Chops

1/2 Cup Olive Oil

2 Tablespoons Dry Ranch Seasoning

2 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar

2 Tablespoons Butter – cubed

Directions:

Sear pork chops over medium to high heat in an oiled skillet. Mix oil, ranch, and vinegar of apple cider.

In a slow cooker, place potatoes, and pork chops. Put the ranch blend on the top and toss to uniformly cover potatoes and chops.

Add butter cubes on top.

Cooking for about 3 hours on high heat. 5-6 hours at low temperature. Add salt/pepper to taste.

Easy Slow Cooker Taco Pasta

by Rebecca June 4, 2020
written by Rebecca

Slow cooker’s recipes are my best friend in this busy season of life. It’s the easiest way to have dinner at the table for me. Once all the kids have come from school, I can’t get into the kitchen to cook a meal. It’s hard enough to get food on the plates, pour milk and wash everyone up and down! The Easy Slow Cooker Taco Pasta is an innovative recipe with which I first fell in love.

When I made this recipe I wanted it to be as easy as possible. First, I was thinking of making the recipe necessary for no chopping, like this Taco Soup Slow Cooker Chicken. But I wanted sneaky veggies in this taco pasta, and so I added a chop bell pepper. The taste is impeccable and, after a long day, the comfort food you want is the sort of warm. Ground beef pasta and your favorite taco taste. I’m beginning to starve to think about it! My crock-pot roast is another of our favorite comfort foods.

Slow Cooker Butter Chicken

by Rebecca June 4, 2020
written by Rebecca

This delicious butter is my Instant Pot Butter Chicken version, which is one of my webpage’s most popular and highly rated recipes. There is a true Indian flavor, but in an average grocery store you can find all ingredients and you will not need more than 15 minutes to prepare them.

The deep taste in authentic Indian cuisine is remarkable. The more nuances you are eating, the more you begin to want it. This simple pot-recipe gives you a good deal, so don’t look any more if you need a crowd of butter chicken. It is also stellar remaining so that you can have it tonight and then have a healthy meal and dinner later this week. This slow cooker is the recipe to try if you’ve never got genuine Indian butter chicken (or Indian food in general!).

Butter Chicken Recipe

Butter Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts — about 4 medium breasts

1 tbsp of coconut oil

1 small yellow onion — diced (about 1 cup)

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

4 cloves (4 teaspoons) of garlic, minced

1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder

1 tablespoon garam masala

1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 (6-ounce) can no salt added tomato paste

1 small cauliflower

1 (14-ounce) can tomato sauce

2 tablespoons unsalted butter — cut into small pieces (use coconut oil to make dairy-free)

1/2 cup half-and-half or full-fat coconut milk — do not use light coconut milk, as it will water down the sauce

1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt — or non-dairy yogurt to make dairy-free

FOR SERVING:

Prepared brown rice

Quinoa

Naan

Chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:

Heat coconut oil in a non-stick pot over medium heat. When it’s hot, add onion and cook until it softens for about 5 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, curry, chili powder, and garam masala. Cook until fragrant for about 30 seconds.

Put the onions into a 6-quarter slow cooker or larger. Put the chicken on top and flowers of cauliflower and add tomato sauce. Mix to add the florets and the sauce a little, so that the chicken pieces remain undisturbed. The pieces of chicken should appear large. Use one spoon to make your sauce and florets a little bit more evenly. Spread pieces of butter over the top.

Cover and cook at a high level for 1 1⁄2 to 2 1/2 hours, or at a high level for 4-6 hours, until the chicken is cooked and the thermometer is 165 degrees F. The cooking time can change according to your slow cooker, so make sure that the chicken does not dry out early. When the chicken is finished, remove it and let it cool down slightly.

The cauliflower will probably not be tender at this point. Give the slow cooker’s contents a big mix to cover with the sauce the florets. Cook the slow cooker again and simmer for about 30 minutes to 1 hour until the florets are completely tender. (You can save this step if your florets are already tender.)

Cut it into pieces as soon as the chicken is sufficiently cool to touch. Return with the tender florets to the slow cooker. Stir in half and half. Let cool, then stir in the Greek yogurt a couple of minutes. If the chicken butter is too hot, curdling it. Enjoy the warmth of brown rice, quinoa, or naan with fresh cilantro. (Don’t stir in your yogurt right away.

I am so impressed by this recipe! I tried it 2 days ago and I’m so glad that I did! Don’t let the number of steps stop you from making this incredibly amazing treat. It may be a lot of steps but I promise you that it’s not that difficult to follow. The aroma and the taste are definitely worth the time and effort. I know you are gonna love it!

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups pecans

1/2 cup butter (I use salted)

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup light corn syrup

7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1/2 of a 14-ounce can)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 (12 ounces) package milk chocolate chips

1/2 teaspoon shortening (I use butter flavored Crisco)

How to make Chocolate Pecan Turtle Clusters

In a large skillet, put about 2 1/2 cups of pecans. Turn the heat to medium-high and toast the pecans. Stir until the color turns slightly dark and the smell is amazing. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.

Line with parchment paper 2 large cookie sheets. Apply cooking spray and group the pecans leaving 1-inch spaced apart between groups.

In a saucepan, add 1/2 cup of butter and turn the heat to medium-high until the butter has melted. Add 1/2 cup of light corn syrup, 1/2 cup butter, 7 ounces of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 cup brown sugar. Stir until the heat turns to about 235-240 degrees. Remove from the pan. This will caramelize the mixture then add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.

Drizzle with 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of caramel on each group of pecans. Do this right away as the caramel will begin to become hard.

Pour about 12 oz of milk chocolate chips in a microwavable bowl. Put in the oven and heat for about 30 seconds while stirring occasionally.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of shortening solution into the melted chocolate and leave it for 2 minutes. This will allow the chocolate to spread even more and it will help melt it. Stir until well-mixed.

Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons of melted chocolate on top of the nuts and caramel.

Let it sit for about 10 minutes or more to set the chocolate. When the texture becomes hard, you are ready to serve! Place the leftovers in an airtight container to preserve that amazing taste. Enjoy!
