Zesty Slow Cooker Chicken BBQ

I know it's not Tuesday, but hehe just pretend. Also there will be no pictures with this entry because my camera batteries are out of commission. I have to get new rechargeable batteries since mine wont charge anymore.

The recipe calls for 6 frozen chicken breasts I used 5 and after Ed having 3 sandwiches and me 2 we still have a ton of leftovers. Also make sure you use a molasses based bbq sauce, not the cheap stuff from Kraft. Famous Dave's or I think Jack Daniel's has a molasses based sauce.

The only thing I added was a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion flakes.

Also I let the chicken cook in my crock pot for 5 and a half hours on high. I took the chicken out shredded it with my fork (was easier than I thought) then I put the chicken back in the crock pot for an additional 45 minutes on low setting.

Ingredients:

6 Frozen skinless, boneless chicken breast.
1 (12 ounce) bottle molasses based BBQ sauce.
1/2 cup italian salad dressing
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
Buns of your choice. We used whole wheat hamburger buns. You could also use hoagie buns.


Directions:

1. Place chicken in crock pot. In a bowl mix the BBQ sauce, italian dressing, brown sugar and worcestershire sauce. Pour over chicken. (this is where I added in my salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion flakes, just about 1/2 tsp of each).

2. Cover and cook 3 to 4 hours on high or 6 to 8 hours on low. I cooked 5 1/2 hours on high, shredded my chicken then put back in the sauce, cooking on low setting for 45 additional minutes.

3. Spoon mixture onto buns and serve. I served Ed's with some pickles. You could also serve with chips or a side salad.

Cheddar Broccoli Chicken and Mashed Potatoes

I am trying something different this week. Instead of just taking one picture of the finished dish, I took multiple pictures along the way. So anyone who is reading let me know which way you like better.

This recipe was super easy and quick. I needed no modifications and everything was pretty straight forward and came out perfectly. I got this recipe off of allrecipes.com, its a Campbell's recipe.

Tender chicken, broccoli flowerets and a cheesy sauce are served over creamy mashed potatoes for a one dish supper.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 (10.75 ounce) can campbell's condensed broccoli cheese soup or campbell's condensed 98% fat free broccoli cheese soup. (I used the 98% fat free soup)
1/3 cup milk
2 cups fresh or frozen broccoli flowerets (I used frozen)
4 cups hot mashed potatoes



Directions:
I started off peeling, cutting up the potatoes and putting them to boil. (I prefer real mashed potatoes but you could also use instant.)



Heat oil in the skillet. Add chicken and cook until browned.



Add the soup, milk and broccoli. Heat to boil.



Cover and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes or until done.



Serve over potatoes.
