Swamp Stew

Bryan was out hunting one night and some men in the woods fed them some food. Bryan didnt know the exact measurements so we played around and found our own way of cooking it. And, sure enough, its cooked in the crock pot. It is a housewifes lifesaver! Oh, and Bryan didnt know what it was called, so we just named it Swamp Stew...it just fits!

Ingredients
1 whole chicken
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 stick butter
1 head cabbage
bunch of potatoes...cut up
salt
pepper

First, place the whole chicken in your crock pot.
To it, add the water and vinegar.
Put the butter right on top.
Cover and let cook on low.
Usually by the time the butter has melted over the top of the chicken, about an hour or so, I add as much cut up cabbage and potatoes as I can fit. If it doesnt all fit, which it usually doesnt, then I let it cook down a little and add the rest later.
Cover and let cook for about 6-7 hours. It may look like there is no water or liquid, but remember, the crock pot creates more liquid as it cooks, and the cabbage also creates more.
When the chicken is tender, try to pull out the whole thing. It may fall apart on you, so fish around and make sure there are no bones in the pot. No one likes bones in their stew! Pull all the chicken off the bones (I like to make sure it is shredded and in small pieces), take off the skin and give it to some animals, and put the chicken back in the pot. Add some salt and pepper to taste. It should be ready to go, or you could let it simmer in there for a little while longer and let the juices flow! Serve in a bowl with some nice warm homemade bread! Mmmmmm, my mouth is watering already.
