Cooking Know-How

Taking the lid off your slow cooker for even just a minute reduces the heat and extends the cooking time. Lift the lid only if instructed to do so in the recipe.

" I used fat-free dressing, and boneless, skinless thighs, doubled the garlic and I did not brown the chicken before putting it in the slow cooker. I put the thighs in the cooker, mixed the remaining ingredients, poured them over the top and let it cook. Awesome! I also used whole wheat linguine instead of the rice. The whole family loved it. "
