Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken, super easy and very yummy :)

Hello,
It seems like I have taken a very long break from blogging and I am fired up to get to it regularly.  I had an amazing summer and have made some awesome food so I have some tasty recipes to share, I still took photos of the meals and will share so really great ones.  Today I am going to share one that I just made tonight using a cook book my sister loaned me to take a look at.  It did not make a lot but  it was enough for my daughter and myself with enough for my lunch tomorrow.  Usually there is three of us but my husband is out of town.

The Big Cook 2 is filled with many recipes that have simple ingredients.  I have only made this one recipe but I have marked many to try.

I needed a simple slow cooker meal for tonight and selected their Honey Garlic Chicken.  I was using my small cooker which was just so handy, didn't even start it til 3:15 this afternoon.  Took me a couple quick minutes to get all the ingredients in since there are only 5.

Steamed some broccoli and made a batch of brown rice to go with it and at 6:30 we were having a nice quick dinner.


DOLCI'S HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN

2 lbs Chicken Pieces (boneless, skinless thighs or breast)
1/4 cup Honey
1/4 cup Soy Sauce
1/2 tsp Brown Sugar
2 minced Garlic Cloves


Place all ingredients in slow cooker and cook for 4-5 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.  For a freezer meal just place all ingredients in zip lock bag instead of the slow cookers.  Recipe also mentions the it can be baked in the oven for 1 hour at 350', covered.  Uncover for last 10 minutes.

It was easy to prepare, had all ingredients on hand and it was yummy.  Will be making again.

I love using my Wolfgang Puck Mini Versa Cooker for brown rice.  Makes the perfect amount for us and it is so easy.  

Please check out my other post will share more on this lil' cooker, it is just so great.    

Pampered Chef Citrus & Basil Rub Grilled Salmon

So as usual I started out the week thinking I was going to stay on schedule and stick with the meal plan.  But from Wednesday on my husband wasn't going to be coming home for dinner, he was going to be stay ing at the job site to finish up a project so therefore I was going to be delivering take out for him and his crew.  But I still would like to share some of the recipes I did make that were pretty good.

Tuesday we were still on schedule and I marinated salmon fillets in Pampered Chef Citrus & Basil Rub.

I grilled them on my gas BBQ and they turned out fantastic.  I should have grilled the grates but they stuck very little but will oil for sure next time.

And I think I will be using my iPhone for photos starting this week as these are horrible.

To go along with dinner I steamed some broccoli and used my Wolfgang Puck Mini Versa Cooker to make brown rice which was fantastic, I have only used it for mac and cheese and it just made the perfect amount of brown rice.

Til next time, I plan on posting some really good freezer/slow cookers meals tomorrow.
