Slow Cooker-Sweet and Spicy Chicken
I was attracted to this recipe becasue there are only 5 main ingredients, the last two are use as needed...I used them:-)
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 9 hours
Ingredients:
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 cup purchased sweet and sour sauce
3/4 cup purchased barbecue sauce
1-2 Tbsp. cornstarch, if needed
2 Tbsp. water, if needed
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients in 4-5 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours until chicken is thoroughly cooked. If you'd like a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and add to the liquid; cover and cook 10-15 minutes until thickened. Serve over hot cooked rice or couscous. 6 servings
I cooked this on high for 5 hours and it was perfect. My Hubby loved the sweetness of the chicken.
I also added 1 bell pepper cut into chunks.
I served it over uncle ben's already cooked basmati rice(see pic) below. I was not sure how the rice would come out seeing as it's already cooked and all you do is pop it in the microwave for 90 seconds. To my Hubby and My surprise it was good!
I'll be picking up more this weekend.
Yes, I'll make this again!
Cheers

Sunset Chicken
5 quart slow cooker
4 mixed bell peppers cut into thick strips
2 lbs chicken breast tenders
salt and pepper
2 tbsp salt free citrus herd seasoning
1 cup Catalina dressing
2 tbsp frozen orange juice concentrate,thawed
1. Place bell peppers in bottom of slow cooker
2. Season both side of chicken tenders with salt,pepper, and citrus herb seasoning. Place in slow cooker on top of bell peppers
3. In a small bowl,stir together Catalina dressing and orange juice concentrate. Pour in slow cooker over chicken.
4. Cover and cook on low setting for 3 to 4 hours.
I actually used bone in chicken breast(it's what I had in the house) and cooked it for 6 hours on low.
I served it over rice.
The prep time was fairly quick. Less than 10 min.
The dish is quite tasty. I would definitely make it again but this time with the tenders just to see how it comes out.

Another Smoothie Creation
The green monster smoothie has inspired me to try my hand at making more smoothies but still sticking with the green veggie concept. This past weekend I picked up some plain soy milk instead of vanilla and frozen pineapple chunks.
Here are the ingredients:
1 cup soy milk
4 ice cubes(from an ice tray)
8 frozen pineapple chunks
1/2 of a banana
1/2 cup spinach
The result was still green(see below) but it had a different taste. I enjoyed it and will make it again adding another 1/2 cup of spinach. I still want to get as much green veggies as possible in yeah know:-)
