Crock Pot

I just threw some skinless chicken breasts and potatoes in the crock pot. When I get home I will throw in some defrosted frozen veggies (oxymoron? I put in a can of Swanson's Natural Godness Chicken Broth to cook the chicken in. Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I could have used?. My son likes it less brothy and more gravyish. I have some Road's End Organics Golden Gravy Mix, but I didn't know if I could mix that up and put it in the crock pot to cook it all day. I thought it might burn.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Cindy

It shouldn't burn if you have the pot on low all day. My dh (ex-chef) recommends a little more liquid in the am when you start out, and it should be fine.

If you want to thicken it up, make up a little cornstarch roux and put it in about 20-30 mins before eating.

I'd probably start w/1T. - 1 1/2T. cornstarch and about 1/4 c. cold water mixed up. Make sure to mix it up and then pour it in the crockpot.

I generally use Hormel's Herbox Vegetable broth mix, and lots of water to start 4-5 cups worth. Let that cook slow all day. Then right when I get home after its been cooking for 8 hours or so, I add some corn starch(mix into cold water first) and rice flour.

I add more flour based on how watery it still is. If it looks like its goign to way to much gravy, I will turn the crock pot on high and leave the cover off for 30 minutes or so. That really helps ruduce the extra water.

you can mix some sweet rice flour into some of the broth in a cup and then pour it in to get a thicker sauce. just don't add too much and it'll be fine.

I have been using potato starch to thicken stews and gravys. It works well, just don't use too much--maybe 1/2 of what you would normally do with cornstarch or flour. I have to avoid corn and I'm finding that rice is bothering me, also.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
