So this recipe from Gooseberry Patch’s Everyday Slow Cooker originally called for Cornish game hens. I was crushed when I went to the store and couldn’t find them. You see, the entire time Michael and I have been married, he has always said, “What’s for dinner? Cornish game hens?” or “Are the Cornish game hens ready?” So when I saw this recipe, I couldn’t wait to make it and finally answer my smart-aleck husband with a resounding YES!

Much to my dismay, our small town grocery stores didn’t have any Cornish game hens…guess there isn’t a high demand in these parts. 😉 So I bought a small roasting chicken. While I couldn’t answer him with a yes about the Cornish game hens, I was able to get a big-eyed “Mmmmm!” from him when he tried it

Stuffed Crock Pot Chicken

I did a little tweaking on this recipe (big surprise right?). Up until a few months ago, I had never used my broiler and was actually quite scared of it. Then I discovered all the wonderfulness that is my broiler!

So when this Stuffed Crock Pot Chicken was done, I popped the chicken in the broiler for a couple of minutes to crisp it up a bit…heavens-to-Besty! It was awesome!

Slow Cooker Recommendation

For this Stuffed Crock Pot Chicken, I used my Travel Crock Pot. It was the perfect size, and I love having a timer to do the shutting off for me since I tend to forget sometimes. Your favorite 5-6 quart slow cooker will work as well.
