Marinades in a crock pot?
I use my crock pot alot and was wondering if you could just put chicken breasts in the crock pot with a marinade?
Answers:
If you use straight marinade in your usual manner, you might find that the chicken is a little too strongly-flavored. Other than that, no reason why not - the food will be cooking for a good long while, the flavors will mingle with your food...I don't see it as any different than adding seasonings. If it comes out too strong, add a little liquid (water, stock, etc.). The only thing I'd look out for is marinades with much sugar/honey or vinegar - the higher concentrations of those, especially if undiluted by water, might have some drawbacks to the taste or texture of your food.
