Oh I love the simplicity of my slow cooker on these long cold winter days! And if I don’t get something in the slow cooker in the morning, I can still easily whip up a one pot bone-warming meal. These recipes are straight from the recipe section in our food journaling tool, Genesis.

2 each – CILANTRO, LEAVES, RAW, .25 cup
2 EACH – GARLIC, CLOVE
1 fruit – LIMES,RAW
0.5 tsp – PEPPER, BLACK

| Wash and dry the chicken thoroughly. Reserve the giblets for another use. Cut off excess fat. Season the chicken inside and out with pepper and cumin, or other mexican type seasonings. Place in the cooker breast side up. Squeeze the juice of the lime over the chicken and stuff the rind, cilantro sprigs, and garlic into the cavity. Cover and cook on low until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 180F degrees,this should take about 6 hours. |
