Here’s a recipe I tried from Slow Cooker Recipes. My family really enjoyed it and I plan to make it again (I have a copy of the book myself, too).

HERBED CHICKEN AND SHRIMP

Ingredients:

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1 broiler/fryer chicken (3-4 pounds), cut up and skinned

¼ cup butter

1 large onion chopped

1 8-oz can tomato sauce

½ cup white wine or chicken broth

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tsp dried basil

1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Directions:

Combine salt and pepper; rub over the chicken pieces. In a large skillet, melt butter and then brown chicken a on all sides. Transfer to an ungreased 5-qt. slow cooker.

In a large bowl, combine the onion, tomato sauce, wine, garlic and basil; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until chicken is tender.

Stir in shrimp. Cover and took on high 20-30 minutes or until shrimp turns pink.

I served it with rice.
