\n
Slow Cooker Roast Chicken<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Ingredients<\/div>\n
    \n
  • Whole roasting or fryer chicken (the size depends on the size of your slow cooker. You want your slow cooker to be 1\/2 to 3\/4 full when you place the whole chicken on top of 2\/3 of the vegetables.<\/li>\n
  • Mrs Dash Garlic & Herb Seasoning<\/li>\n
  • Mrs Dash Chicken Grilling\u2028 Seasoning<\/li>\n
  • Optional: basil.<\/li>\n
  • 1 large onion, cut into chunks<\/li>\n
  • \u20284 celery stalks, cut in thirds<\/li>\n
  • Optional: lemon juice or dried lemon zest<\/li>\n
  • Optional: 1 can no-salt-added diced tomatoes or 1 can no-salt-added tomato sauce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    Instructions<\/div>\n
    \n
    Slow Cooker Roast Chicken:<\/div>\n
      \n
    1. Remove chicken from packaging and remove neck and pouch with organs. Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Pull most of the skin off the chicken.<\/li>\n
    2. Sprinkle Mrs Dash Garlic Herb seasoning inside of chicken.<\/li>\n
    3. Lightly sprinkle Mrs Dash Chicken Grilling seasoning (and optional basil) over the outside of the chicken.<\/li>\n
    4. Optional: Rub lemon juice or 1\/2 tsp dried lemon zest inside the chicken.<\/li>\n
    5. Put some of the onions and celery inside the chicken. Place the remaining onions and celery in the slow cooker.<\/li>\n
    6. Place chicken in the slow cooker on top of the vegetables.<\/li>\n
    7. Optional: pour the tomatoes or tomato sauce on top of the chicken.<\/li>\n
    8. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours, until chicken is thoroughly cooked.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      Save the chicken broth for later use in soup or other recipes:<\/div>\n
        \n
      1. Strain the vegetables, bones, meat, skin, etc from the broth and place the strained broth in a covered bowl or pan.<\/li>\n
      2. After it cools a bit, put the broth in the refrigerator for a couple of hours (or overnight) to allow the fat to rise to the surface. (Don’t stir the broth; just let it settle)<\/li>\n
      3. After the broth is completely cooled, you can remove the fat by scraping it from the top with a spoon. Discard all of the fat.<\/li>\n
      4. Divide the broth into useful portions (I like to save it in 1\/2 cup or 1 cup portions.) Then put it into zip-lock bags and freeze it for later use in soups, casseroles, or other recipes.<\/li>\n
      5. Note: this yields a very robust broth. To use the broth in a recipe, you will want to add approximately 1 part water for each 1 part broth. For example: 1 cup of this broth plus 2 cups water is appropriate for use in a recipe that calls for 1 cups of low-sodium chicken or turkey broth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
        Serving size: 4 oz.<\/span> Sodium: 60mg.<\/span><\/div>\n
        3.5.3226<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Our estimates assume the use of fresh chicken with only 3% sodium per serving (instead of chicken that has been infused with a high-sodium broth).<\/p>\n

        Note that sodium percentages depend on which daily reference you use. The estimated 60 mg of sodium per serving implies that one serving of this recipe provides:
        \n\u2013 2.5% of the U.S. FDA daily reference value for sodium for a 2,000-calorie diet that includes 2,400 mg sodium, or
        \n\u2013 4.0% of the American Heart Association recommendation of 1,500 mg sodium per day, or
        \n\u2013 6.0% of the M\u00e9ni\u00e8re\u2019s diet recommendation of 1,000 mg sodium per day.<\/p>\n
