Summer Squash and Chicken Skillet Recipe

This is a simple meal I throw together all summer long.  It’s another great way to use up leftover chicken.  This week I used leftover Rotisserie Chicken in the CrockPot.  Just chop up an onion and summer squash and stir-fry it with some chicken and your favorite seasonings.  It’s quick, easy, healthy and frugal.  It’s really cheap if you use squash from your garden or better yet your in-law’s garden.  🙂  I’ll admit that after a winter without squash, it takes the kids a meal or two to get used to it’s slimy texture.  But generally 3 out 4 kids give this meal a thumbs up.

Ingredients:

  • 1-2 Tbsp Palm Shortening or oil of your choice
  • 1 Sweet Onion, chopped
  • 6 Summer Squash, sliced
  • 1 Tbsp Tamari Sauce (Soy-free recipes here and here)
  • Garlic Powder to taste
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 2-3 Cups Cooked Chicken pieces

Directions:

1.  Heat oil in skillet and add onions.  Cook until clear.

2.  Add squash, tamari sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper and cook just until squash is tender.

3.  Add chicken and heat through.  Serve immediately.

Rotisserie Chicken in the CrockPot Recipe

Yay!  I picked up my first locally raised pastured chicken of the season this weekend.  If you’ve ever watched Food, inc. or read Nourishing Traditions, you know why this is important to me.  If you haven’t checked out these two resources, you should!

Cooking these birds in the CrockPot produces tender, moist, fall off the bone chicken.  This is my favorite recipe for whole chicken.  It also makes the best stock, so save your bones!  You can read how to make chicken stock here.

Ingredients:

  • 4 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Thyme
  • 1 tsp White Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1-2 Onions, chopped (optional)
  • 6-8 Yellow Potatoes (optional)

Instructions:

1.  Combine spices in a small bowl.

2.  If necessary, remove giblets from inside of chicken.  Rinse inside and outside of chicken and pat dry with paper towels.

3.  Massage chicken with spice mixture.

4.  Place onions and potatoes in the bottom of the CrockPot and lay the chicken on top.  I usually put some onions inside the chicken too.

5.  Cover and cook on low 4-6 hours or until chicken is falling off the bone.

The original recipe found at food.com recommends rubbing the spices on the chicken the night before you plan to cook it.  I am never that organized and I think it is awesome without that step.

UPDATE:  Be sure to check out this post on How to Have Crispy Skin in the Crockpot.  I haven’t tried it on this particular recipe but I’m sure it would work.

Here are some of my favorite crockpot whole chicken recipes for the crockpot:
