Re: WW slow cooker recipes?
Some I have taken from other post like this.
Deli Style Crock Pot Chicken on foil
servings | 4
estimated POINTS per serving | 2
Ingredients
chicken, whole
Instructions
Spray inside of crock pot with Pam. Wash and dry chicken; remove gizzards or whatever is in there. Take foil and ball it up and cover the bottom of your crock pot (I made 4 loose balls o'foil).
Sprinkle Lawry's Seasoned Salt or Spike inside and outside of the chicken. Put garlic cloves under the skin (optional). I also seasoned under the skin, rather than on top of the skin, which I took off after cooking, anyway. Set the chicken atop the foil. Add NO liquid!
Cook on High for 4 hours. Check internal temp w/instant-read thermometer to be sure it's cooked completely.
The chicken is so tender and just falls off the bone

Salsa Chicken:
Boneless Chicken Breasts

1/2 cup white wine

Fussy Day Chicken
1 large chicken, whole, or a small roaster
1 cup home-made or bottled BBQ sauce
Wash chicken and remove things inside.
Pour BBQ sauce over chicken.
Cook on high for 5-6 hours.
Serve with brown rice. Separate fat from bottom juice and sprinkle on rice.
(The foil ball idea mentioned in the recipe above would be perfect here, keeping the chicken above the drippings.
Delicious. Serve with green salad.

¾ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 tsp olive oil
1 Cup canned cranberry sauce
½ cup sliced dried apricots
1 Tbsp cornstarch
½ tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp grated orange zest
1) Sprinkle the tenderloin with salt and pepper, heat the oil in a nonstick pan. Add the pork and cook turning frequently until browned on all sides.
2) Transfer the pork to a 5-6 quart slow cooker. Combine cranberry sauce, cornstarch, apricots, and cinnamon. Pour over the pork. Cover and cook for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.
3) Remove from crock and cut into 16 slices. Stir zest into fruit sauce and serve on side.

Chef Tips

Opting for fat-free sour cream and milk instead of full-fat sour cream, milk and butter.
Adding chives for virtually calorie-free flavor and lots of color.
