My happiest & easiest days are days when my slave is working in the kitchen. I can forget about supper because she is working away all day in there making my family a hot dinner. She was wonderful gift from my husband a few years ago so she is definitely not new. Age spots decorate her white exterior. Of course I am talking about my crock pot.
I was having a chat this morning with a dear friend and was inspired to include a couple of good recipes for this colder weather and busy time of year. With it getting dark early there is nothing better for me & my family than to have a hot meal ready at 6 p.m. without a lot of fuss or preparation. So easy is the word for these! Some of these I don’t know where they came from but if I do I will site the book or website.
Slow-Cooker Chicken with Cashews—Parents.com
Pulled Chicken BBQ—not sure where I got this from!
1/2 cup molasses
1 cup ketchup(we like Hunts no HFCS!)
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup mustard
2 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
3-4 chicken boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Place chicken in crockpot with enough water to cover the bottom of the crockpot, so the chicken doesn’t burn. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or until the chicken is cooked all the way through.
When chicken is finished cooking, remove from crockpot and allow to cool slightly. Shred the chicken with two forks. Set aside.
Mix the top 6 ingredients together on medium heat in a large sauce pot. Add the shredded chicken and stir to heat through.
Our family eats this on whole wheat buns with corn on the cob & steamed broccoli.
