Have you ever seen those roasted chickens at the grocery store by the check out lines? They are usually dried out looking (when I see them) and I know they are probably loaded with yucky stuff (salt, chemicals). Add to that the fact that they cost more than twice as much as a raw whole chicken, it just isn’t a good option for me who likes healthy and cheap.

Here’s a great, simple recipe for roasted chicken. You can throw it into the crock pot in the a.m. and it’s awesomely juicy and fall apart tasty by the time you get home for dinner.

First make 3 or 4 balls of aluminum foil and place them on the bottom of your slow cooker.

Placing the chicken on the balls, keeps it raised up out of the juices and gives it a more “roasted” consistancy.

Next, place the chicken on top of the aluminum balls.

Season with your choice of seasonings.

I like using basil, oregano and garlic powder. But Mrs. Dash or any other season that you like will work fine.

Cook on low all day long. It will be falling off the bone juicy by the time you are ready to eat it. The bonus is that it will also be healthy and cost around half of what the dried out one in the store costs. Nom!

P.S. The roasted carrots on the plate? FABULOUS! I’ll have to post that recipe soon. 🙂 Enjoy!
