Week #3

I'm back with a delicious dinner recipe for this week's recipe. This recipe comes from A Year of Slow Cooking. I've been feeling a bit sick today so some good comfort food was in order. This recipe definitely fit the bill. 


Brown Sugar Chicken



6 boneless, skinless breast halves
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup lemon-lime soda (I actually used blackberry citrus soda - sounds weird but trust me, it worked)
2/3 cup vinegar
3 cloves smashed and chopped garlic
2 T soy sauce
1 tsp ground black pepper


1. This is a crockpot recipe. Easy, easy, easy.
2. Place your chicken in your crockpot. 
3. Cover the chicken with the brown sugar, pepper, chopped garlic, and soy sauce. Add the vinegar, and pour in the soda. 
4. Cover and cook on low for 6-9 hours, or on high for 4-5. (Mine actually took 3 and was extremely tender). 

5. I served my chicken over noodles with some of the remaining broth on top, but you could serve it over rice as well.

The verdict? Absolutely delicious. This dish has just the right amount of tang and is really filling. I made some green beans to go with it, and I have plenty left over for a nice lunch tomorrow. I'll definitely be making this dish again.
