hi everyone i'm Catherine with
0:02
Catherine's Plates today I'm going to
0:04
show you how to make chicken pot roast
0:07
in the crock pot you heard me right
0:11
chicken i'm going to serve this up with
0:13
baked mac and cheese also because why
0:16
not first thing we're going to do is
0:18
spray our crock pot with some non-stick
0:20
cooking spray we don't want that chicken
0:27
sticking all right i'm using this right
0:30
here all right I'm bringing my chicken
0:32
breast over it's boneless skinless it's
0:35
about 3 lbs and I'm going to just place
0:37
it in the bottom of my crock pot now you
0:40
can see the thickness of the chicken
0:42
here if you have really really thick
0:44
chicken just know that it'll take longer
0:46
to cook or you can thin it out like I
0:49
did here you can use chicken thighs if
0:52
you want to do that you can use chicken
0:55
tenders cutlets whatever you have and
0:59
I'm just going to lay these down in the
1:00
bottom now if you overlap your chicken
1:07
fine now if you rinse off your chicken
1:10
or whatever you do to it beforehand
1:12
that's totally fine just make sure you
1:18
dry all right let's bring over our
1:20
vegetables you know the ones that you
1:22
love in a roast i've got celery carrots
1:27
and onions and I have a lot of
1:29
everything this stuff will melt down in
1:32
your chicken and you want a lot of it in
1:38
flavor i'm going to take off the bottom
1:41
of my celery and I'm going
1:50
big circles here cuz you know this
1:54
celery will melt but it's going to add
1:56
some delicious flavor i'm going to go
1:58
all the way down i got a lot of chicken
2:00
in there and you know what I can't stand
2:03
is when you first make the dish and
2:04
everybody eats and then when you have
2:07
leftovers you don't have any extra
2:09
carrots or any celery or anything left
2:11
over for it right so we're going to make
2:13
sure we have that so we have our celery
2:15
and then what I'm going to do is put
2:17
that on top of the chicken y'all look at
2:18
all those flowers it's from the inside
2:20
of the celery this smells
2:27
carrots we are in southeast Texas in
2:32
fact we live in Katy Texas which is
2:35
right on the outside of Houston and it's
2:39
hot already y'all let us know what the
2:43
weather is like where y'all are is it
2:45
time to bring out the crock
2:48

2:52
much as possible i know it's hard to do
2:55
but we have to all right let's clean
2:58

3:01

3:07

3:19
onions here and I'm going to chunk these
3:22
up i want to see onion in my chicken pot
3:27
roast peel off the outer layer both
3:30
ends we're going to treat the chicken
3:32
like a roast the only thing I'm not
3:34
doing is searing the chicken on both
3:36
sides like we do a roast cuz it doesn't
3:39
need it and then you'll just be heating
3:41
up your kitchen all right big
3:45
pieces they'll melt in the crock pot for
3:48
sure all right once we get this all
3:50
chopped up in the crock pot it
3:59
goes we're done with the veggies all
4:02
right we're going to stir the vegetables
4:04
up we're going to go in with a packet of
4:08
au gravy need something to help make
4:11
that gravy in here smells good nice and
4:16
rich put that right over the
4:21
top y'all see that in there and then
4:24
we're going to put in a packet of savory
4:28
pot roast seasoning mix it's for the
4:32
cooker oh that smells delicious
4:38
make sure you get it all on those
4:52
right we still got things happening here
4:55
we're going to put in a little bit of
4:57
leaves shake it on shake it
5:01
on all right y'all know where I'm at
5:05
let's look where am I
5:10
corner figure it out somebody will we're
5:14
going to enhance our onion flavor with
5:16
some onion powder here we go and we're
5:21
going to add in some garlic
5:24
powder it's going to be full of flavor
5:26
in there sure i'll put a lot of chicken
5:28
in there for that all right now we're
5:30
going to take some chicken broth we got
5:33
to put some liquid in there to make a
5:40
gravy we're gonna let everything stew in
5:42
here kind of like a roast got three cups
5:47
going on in there now we know that a
5:49
roast renders fat and is a lot of flavor
5:53
when you cook it in the crock pot we're
5:55
not going to get that from the chicken
5:57
so we're going to add our own fat to it
5:59
so I've got a stick of butter here we'll
6:01
cut some pats and put it around our
6:05
here it'll add flavor i think I went a
6:09
little overboard on that all right let's
6:12
place the lid on the crock pot we're
6:13
going to cook this on high for 3 to 4
6:16
hours or you can cook it on low for 5 to
6:20
6 hours now it all depends on the size
6:24
of your chicken breast as to when it's
6:27
done you want to be able to put a fork
6:29
in it twist it and it's nice and tender
6:32
i'm going to come back we're going to
6:34
thicken up the gravy and I'm going to
6:37
show you that mac and cheese yum the
6:41
ready it's nice and tender look at those
6:44
vegetables in there i'm just going to
6:46
take my meat masher and just kind of
6:48
chicken all right look at that you guys
6:51
now we're going to thicken up that
6:53
gravy i've got a cornstarch slurry i put
6:56
about four tablespoons of cornstarch and
6:58
1/4 cup of water we'll just add that in
7:02
