Honey, here's a really easy one:

Put a layer of onions, potatoes, and carrots on the bottom of the crock and top with a whole chicken. Sprinkle with the herbs/seasonings you like and cook on low for 6-8 hours. The skin will be white and blubbery, but ignore that and just pull it off. The meat will be very tender and flavorful. You can also make a gravy on the stovetop with the liquid in the crock if you want.

We also love the stupid-simple beef barley soup in the recipe section.

Hope it keeps working for you, I don't know what I'd do without mine!
