I poach in the crock pot 5-6 chicken breasts every other week, then we use (and freeze it) shredded for chicken tacos (squeeze lime, add topping, go!), cubed for chicken salad (celery, mayo, tarragon), added to curries, plain for my dd, etc, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crock-pot-summer-meals#post-2566865 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 10:58:21 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2566865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Yes, DH has banned me from chicken breast in the crock pot because it gets way too dried out.<br /> @looch: link please! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crock-pot-summer-meals#post-2566863 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 10:57:44 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2566863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did Beef and Broccoli in the crock pot (well the broccoli and rice is separate but thats easy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crock-pot-summer-meals#post-2566858 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 10:51:19 +0000 littlebug 2566858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is our current favorite: Kalua pork and cabbage. <a href="http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/slow-cooker-kalua-pork---cabbage" rel="nofollow">http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/slow-cooker-kalua-pork---cabbage</a> I just buy a bag of cole slaw instead of chopping up the cabbage, and I add a couple splashes of liquid smoke.

Mix it all up, dump it in the crockpot, cook on high 3-4 hours, shred with forks and then it can sit in the crockpot on warm until you're ready to eat it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crock-pot-summer-meals#post-2566805 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 09:56:25 +0000 regberadaisy 2566805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: ooh chicken thighs with some pineapples, veg and like a sweet/sour sauce could be very summery. My only problem with the crockpot is it needs to get plugged in at 8am and by 6pm even chicken thighs are dried out! :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crock-pot-summer-meals#post-2566802 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 09:54:12 +0000 sorrycharlie 2566802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BBQ anything!

I am not a fan of turning the oven on when it's hot out!</p> <p>I make bolognese in the crockpot!

When it gets hot and humid I don't feel like spending time in the kitchen cooking. I have lots of crock pot ideas for soups/chili's/and winter comfort foods...but would love some more summery foods! Any idea? </p>
