I have a crockpot that I will be making chicken noodle soup in. This might be a real off the wall question. Can you just put the chicken in raw once the broth is made with boullion cubes and just cook it as the soup is being made with the carrots, celery, onion. The noodles will be added last. I thought maybe one extra step could be improvised and skipped. |

Do you mean a whole raw chicken, skin and all? Well, I wouldn't do it that way because I like to be able to skim the broth for fat. And what about the bones? You would probably be better off just to cook the chicken separately and add it to the crockpot skinned and chopped along with the noodles. I know it is tempting to skip steps but not if you have to toss out the end product because you don't like how it turns out  . Been there, done that.

I would be using the boneless skinless chicken breast. It would be cut up in little pieces. I will probably cook it seperate. thank you for the help. They do say to not experiment when you know how to do it right to begin with. Thanks again.

I think if you're using boneless, skinless breast you wouldn't want to cook it that long in the crockpot. It would get very dry. If you were using a pot on the stove, I'd say it was safe to add it raw, because it would boil quickly. In a crock pot, obviously it won't boil, and I'd be afraid it might not get hot enough to kill any bacteria on the raw chicken, so Yeah, I'd cook it separately too for this recipe. PS if you cooked dark meat chicken in the crock pot the whole time, then took out the cooked chicken, pulled it off the bone, cut it up and put it back, it would work and probably be tastier than the boullion cubes. |
