I've had a crock pot for over a year and never once turned it on, so I actually had to look up a recipe in the owner's manual. Pathetic. I know. So, while I was surprised to find out you can cook a whole chicken in a crock pot, it turns out if you cook the hell out of a chicken for 11 hours while you're at work, the whole thing falls apart. Really, when I tried to take the chicken out of the crock pot, the entire breast came off. But it still got positive results from the boys, which is all that matters.
Crock Pot Chicken
1 3-4 lb chicken
3-4 medium potatoes (I used a mix of white sweet potatoes and russets) cut into large chunks
1 yellow onion cut into large chunks
6-7 cloves garlic
olive oil
salt and pepper
Put chicken, potatoes, onion, and garlic in crock pot. Coat with olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook on low all day.

This is how I make chicken noodle soup - let the chicken fall apart in the crock pot, then pull all the yucky stuff out, add celery, carrots and flavor cubes/extra water as needed. It can be tedious getting all the bits of bone and stuff out, but it's worth it.
Funny you say that. I was looking at all the delicious juices that were left over and thought it would be a good start for soup. I'll have to try it next time! Thanks!
