Crockpot Chow Mein - Yield: 4 servings
6 Chicken thighs; skinned
6 oz Mushrooms; sliced
1 Onion; sliced
3 Garlic clove; minced
1/2 c Teriyaki sauce
Parsley
3 ds Tabasco
2 Handfuls of bean sprouts
Put everything except the bean sprouts in a crockpot in the morning. Mix them up and set to low. Should be mostly done when you get back home. Prepare some rice to spoon over. After you start the rice put bean sprouts in the crock pot and mix up. When the rice is done, the chow mein is done. Serve over the rice. Note that the chicken is so tender that it will literally fall off the bone. What I like to do is de-bone all my pieces and mix everything (chow mein, rice) up together.

Stewed Chicken
Chicken, whole fryer or pieces
Celery, 2-3 stalks, cut up
Carrots, 2-3 stalks, cut up
Zucchini, 2-3, cut into thick (1") slices
Spices, to taste, eg. rosemary, sage, parsley, thyme, basil
Carefully wash chicken (remove skin if you like). Pat chicken dry with paper towels. THEN (this is IMPORTANT) place any utensils and cooking board used for chicken in dishwasher/sink. (There is a real health danger from Salmonella/etc. contamination in essentially all retail poultry in the U.S. -- okay if cooked, but can get on uncooked foods and utensils if not careful... esp. important with small children... Okay I'm getting off the soapbox now). Season chicken with spices. Place chicken in crockpot and surround with vegetables. Add water to barely cover. Cook on High till bubbling, then reduce to low for 6-8 hours. Serve with rice.
