• Cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours OR on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours until chicken is done.
• Carefully remove lid to allow steam to escape. Gently stir chicken and sauce with a plastic or wooden slotted spoon. Spoon 1/2 cup of chicken mixture into center of each tortilla; add desired toppings and fold tortilla over filling. Do not lift or transport liner with food inside. Cool slow cooker completely; remove Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liner and toss.

SWANNY'S KILLER FAJITAS

Steps:

• Place chicken strips in a bowl and stir in lime juice, cumin, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper; marinate chicken for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and pour in olive oil. Cook and stir red bell pepper and onion in the hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes; move vegetables to the outer edge of the skillet.
• Place chicken strips with marinade in the center of the skillet and cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 3 minutes; cook and stir chicken and vegetables together until liquid in skillet has evaporated, about 2 more minutes. Set chicken and vegetables aside.
• Place corn tortillas on a microwave-safe plate with damp paper towels separating each tortilla. Cook in microwave until tortillas are hot and flexible, about 30 seconds.
• Place corn tortillas onto 4 serving plates; spread each tortilla with 1 tablespoon sour cream.
• Top each tortilla with 1/4 of the chicken and vegetable mixture; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend.
• Sprinkle each tortilla with 1/4 cup lettuce and 2 tablespoons diced tomato.
• Top with any other desired toppings; repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.

CHICKEN FAJITA MELTS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, and cook and stir until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the sliced onions and red peppers, and cook and stir for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the tomato juice and taco seasoning, and mix well. Cook mixture until the juice has thickened and the chicken is well coated with sauce, about an additional 7 minutes.
• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Spread 2 tablespoons of salsa over each slice of French bread. Evenly spoon the chicken mixture on top of the salsa topped bread. Sprinkle each sandwich with 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
• Place sandwiches under the preheated broiler and cook for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown.

KELLY'S ASIAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oil in large, heavy skillet and brown chicken well on all sides, adding garlic and peppers toward the end.
• Add remaining ingredients and cook over medium-high heat until chicken is done and sauce has been reduced somewhat. This will not take long, less than 10 minutes.
• If you are cooking both white and dark meat, remove white meat first, so it does not dry out.
• Watch very carefully so the sauce does not burn or boil away. There should be a quantity of sauce left to serve with the chicken, and the chicken should appear slightly glazed.
• Serve with Chinese noodles, pasta, or rice.

KELLY'S TLC CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Rinse chicken with cold water inside and out, and be sure to remove any "innards". (I discard the innards, but if you like them, save them for another use.).
• Place whole chicken in large pot. Add water to cover the bird plus an inch.
• Add bay leaves.
• Bring to a boil, skim off the "foamy stuff" with a large spoon, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about an hour and 30 minutes.
• You may need to CAREFULLY turn your chicken over halfway through if it wants to stick up a bit.
• CAREFULLY remove chicken from pot onto a platter, cover loosely with foil til cool enough to handle. *Remember there will be very hot water inside the cavity of the chicken. So please do this carefully, dumping that out into the pot as you remove it, so you don't burn yourself! *Also give the pot a stir. The chicken will be VERY tender when done, and a wing or leg may fall to the bottom. Be sure to get that!
• Remove 5 cups stock from pot into heat-proof pitcher or pan. Save rest of chicken stock for another use.
• Pour the 5 cups stock back into the pot.
• While chicken is cooling, add rest of ingredients EXCEPT noodles.
• Bring to a boil and then reduce to a nice simmer and cook veggies about 4-5 minutes.
• Now add the noodles. Stir.
• Return to a boil to get it going again, then reduce to a nice simmer and continue to simmer til noodles are just about tender. About another 4-5 minutes.
• While veggies and noodles are simmering away, remove meat from chicken and add as you go. (Don't add the skin or fat, of course, just the meat.).
• Now just continue to simmer, another 2-3 minutes til noodles are tender. Take one out and try it is the only way to know! :).
• *Also, don't stir this very much! You'll just break up the noodles.
• *If using 4 chicken breasts instead, bring chicken breasts to a boil in pot, reduce to simmer, and simmer only 20 minutes.
• Serve with saltine crackers if desired.
• Makes about 3-4 quarts. But don't worry. Sounds like a lot, but the 2 of us go through this easily within only 3 days!
• *Note: I use "Superior Touch Better Than Boullion Chicken Base". And it is really good!But any good quality chicken base will work well. *It comes in a jar next to the boullion. ;).
• And one last thing (I promise!), if you need to add more of the broth that you stewed the chicken in, (if your chicken is large, or you added too many noodles, etc.) just nuke 1-2 cups broth with 1-2 teaspoons of the boullion/chicken base til dissolved, then add to pot. Simmer just a few minutes longer. HTH! :D.
