crock pot question--chicken leaves white stuff?
Is there a way to avoid this? It just makes it look bad and also has a bad texture. It's always with boneless skinless chicken. |

| I know what you mean! I find that trimming all the fat off helps, you know, the little bits on the corners. Or, I've found that a good way is to brown the chicken first in a pan. Sometimes those little bits will come out right away in the pan. I brown them with a bit of oil in a pan, on medium high heat for about 2-3 minutes each side (or hotter, whatever it takes to get a nice brown without cooking it too much). You may need to adjust the crock pot cooking time to not over cook the chicken then though. Happy crock potting! Tis the season with activities starting up again hey?! |
It's probably the leaving it in longer [and I realize you're at work so have no choice!] b/c I have never had that problem.  Beef is different though and the fat does float to the top but I just put it in the fridge overnight after it's been in the crock pot and it all comes to the top to just take off by morning. Then, I just reheat. |
| Even if I go home at lunch and put it on low (so only on for like 4-5 hours) it happens. I bet the browning first would help, but then that takes up time that I don't have.... |
| That white stuff floating was a common sight in my mother's kitchen as I watched her make chicken soup! Of course she stood there skimming it off as the chicken was boiling. Sorry for your trouble but thanks for the memory! |
Do you think its a couple of left over FEATHERS!  |
