Most recipes are for the popular 4 and 6 quarts versions, so you can usually halve the recipes for the 2 qt cooker.  You just have to make sure that a slow cooker is filled at least halfway and no more than three quarters.

The smaller the slow cooker, the shorter the cooking time. Recommended temperature may vary from one slow cooker to another: always respect the manufacturer’s recommendations.

In any case poultry should not be cooked for extensive periods of time, such as 9 or 10 hours.

Below are some simple chicken recipes I had collected.
