Slow cooker

Anyone use one of these for cooking their chicken throughout the night ?

Never cook anything over night, although nothing wrong with it, but I use a slow cooker on the weekends a lot. Simple and full of flavor. Throw in tons of veggies, meat and some flavor and you are done. Helps if you are in a dorm or don't have a lot of cooking skill...which is not me but for those in college or military with limited appliances. Just plug in.

* 4 to 5 boneless chicken breast cubed or sliced 1inch thick
* 1 bunch green onions, with about 3 inches of green sliced 1/2-inch
* 1 can (8oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
* 1 can sliced water chesnuts
* 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice
* 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

6-8 hours in the slowcooker and serve over brown rice/wheat noodles. Check every so often to see if you need more liquid. If so, just add small amounts of water or pineapple juice. Enjoy!

Sounds awesome! I'll be trying this this weekend

I use a crock pot all the time. And yes i cook it overnight, and as a matter of fact i did it last night. Chicken breast and thighs with noodles, carrots,potatoes,corn,green peppers. I'm going to try that recipe from StoneGRMI this weekend as well.
I think they also make those "cheap steaks", such as bottom round or top round or whatever they're called, taste 5 times better than grilling.
