TASTY TUESDAY

you guys!! i came home from work, sunday, and the bk had cooked dinner. it was fabulous and i just had to share!!

HAWAIIAN CROCKPOT CHICKEN

ingredients:

4 boneless chicken breasts (original recipe called for 12 drumsticks)
1 c ketchup
1 c packed dark brown sugar
½ c soy sauce
1 tbs grated fresh ginger (or ¼ tbs ground, because who has fresh ginger just laying around)
a splash of sesame seed oil

cover chicken with sauce and cook, on high, for about 2 hours. shred chicken with a fork and return to crockpot. cook an additional 2~3 hours. (you can shred chicken before serving, he just preferred it to simmer in sauce a bit).

we served over jasmine rice with a side of sauteed vegetables. you could, also, serve on hawaiian bread as sliders.

happy crockpotting!!!

WHAT UP WEDNESDAY

"i’m waiting for the dinner bell to do the bell thing...dinner bell dinner bell ring"
we're all super busy, and nobody feels like cooking. but who can afford to eat out every night? no one. so, how do we cook a good meal with little, or no, effort. get out the trusty crock pot. it's not just for pot roasts and stews. try this delicious chicken recipe:

ITALIAN CHICKEN AND POTATOES

4 boneless chicken breast halves
5 potatoes (scrubbed, not peeled)
garlic salt
pepper
rosemary
1/2 italian dressing
