"I need to start getting the freezer ready for summer harvest and figured let's do a quick and fast dinner for later when we are relaxing. I pulled out frozen chicken legs and played a bit with some spices not used together before. I was unsure of the combo of lemon and worschestire but am really trying to mix things up some. This is sooooo simple and economical. Can be increased for family size meal. Served with fresh corn on the cob and beans from the garden."

All I see are dry ingredients. Does it not need water or chicken broth?

This worked really well !! I used frozen diced chicken breast and threw in a few frozen vegies as well. All cooked very well and when done I stirred couscous through it - versatile recipe plus plus !! I added lemon juice as I had no lemon pepper. I had never put frozen meat straight into the crock pot before so this was a great cooking lesson for me and now I feel more confident abut crock potting !!

we thought this was great- especially for its ease! i dont have lemon pepper, so i just used fresh cracked pepper and lemon juice. tastes good, tho i dont have a comparison. i doubled it, added another clove of garlic beyond that, and the last 3.5 hours or so, threw in a cup of brown rice and the water to go with it, according to the bags instructions (2 cups?), along with a bit more worcestershire. thanks for a simple but tasty keeper!!

Thanks for posting - I used 8 thighs - very, good flavorful chicken. The leftovers were great the next day - I cut up the leftover meat for chicken salad sandwiches. Will def. keep for when I need something quick and simple!

THANK YOU!!! I needed a crockpot recipe that I could throw together quickly, and you came through! I actually used frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts and thawed chicken thighs. I also threw in some quartered red potatoes in the bottom of the pot. Everything cooked perfectly!

This recipe is indeed simple...a real busy mom's dream. I doubled the recipe and used chicken breasts because that is what I had on hand. I placed the first 3 breasts in the bottom of the crock pot then topped them with some of the seasonings, then repeated with the process with the last three breasts. That way all of the chicken was seasoned well. I did cut back just a pinch on the lemon pepper because I my lemon pepper is an organic blend in a grinder that is loaded with lemon essential oil, dried lemon peel, pepper corns, and sea salt and I have found it to be much stronger then the old lemon peppers I used to buy. I will definitely be making this often as we all agreed that it would make a wonderful chicken to top salads with this summer. Made and reviewed for OZ/NZ Recipe Swap #52

So easy, the only issue I had was in using 3 Marylands (thigh and leg together) I had to lay 2 on the bottom and the third on the top of the other 2 and at the 4 1/2 hour mark the 2 on the bottom, the meat was falling of the bone but the 1 on the top was not done, so rested the 2 from the bottom on top of undercooked one and by the time the 6 hours were up it was cooked and I switched to warm as it was going to be an hour before I needed to serve but love the sheer easiness of the recipe and the prospect of trying other flavours may a bbq sauce for the Worcestershire and other herbs or spices, thank you Chef1MOM-Connie, made for Aussie/Kiwi Recipe Swap #84 January 2014.

<img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j184/cjmcqb/Family/IMG_0556-1-1-2-2.jpg alt=width=58 height=116 /> I have been married to the most wonderful man for 34 years. He is my best friend and the love of my life, my soulmate, and everyday he makes me smile!  We have two wonderful children, both adults, and both the loves of our lives.  We are so proud of them! I want to say THANK YOU  <img title=Laughing src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing />  to all of you who try my recipes. I may not always get back with a Thank you in writing but I want you to know I do thank you very much. I appreciate any and all comments, it can only help me learn and become a better chef. I love to travel and see anything and everything. When summer comes, I am off to see. DH and I traveled across country several times and our children are seasoned travelers as well. Road Trip are 2 of my favorite words. The kids and I have done a few trips as well down the eastern seaboard and there are plans for more. Both DD and DS are gypsies as well and think nothing of taking a road trip to visit home or each other. LOVE IT I live in Western New York and love it here, snow and all. I am a special education teacher and enjoy my career. The sense of wonder and gratification comes daily. My favorite pastime is spending time with my family! I also love to read, listen to music and watch good movies. We have Friday night pizza night here, which means I do not cook! I love Friday's. I started this custom when my children were small and we would cuddle on the floor and play games together and eat pizza. (Highly recommended for all moms out there, dads too.) I LOVE THAT! My favorite cookbook has changed since I came to Zaar, it is now the Zaarworld cookbook. I can get everything I need here and then some, to cook up meals for family and friends. One passion of mine is to cook homestyle meals for family and friends, holiday dinners, and baking bread. My pet peeve is rudeness. INTOLERABLE! Some of the Contests and Swaps I have participated in and thoroughly enjoyed! <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/final2_1.jpg border=0 alt=Image /> <img
