Slow Cooking Thursday ~ garlic brown sugar chicken

I haven't tried this recipe... It is just one that sounds like it might be worth trying out.

Crockpot Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken
1 to 1-1/2 pounds chicken pieces

1 cup packed brown sugar

2/3 cup vinegar

1/4 cup lemon-line soda

2-3 tablespoons minced garlic

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon pepper (regular black or cayenne)
Place chicken in slow cooker. Mix all remaining ingredients and pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve over rice or noodles.

What I plan to make for this Thursday is plain spaghetti & meatballs in the crockpot which couldn't be easier!!!

I put in frozen meatballs (from Sam's) and pour one or two jars of roasted garlic Ragu spaghetti sauce... I press several cloves of garlic and then add my spicy spaghetti spices and some extra red pepper flakes. Close to the end of cooking I add in a little cream and some fresh parmesan cheese.

I cook whole wheat linguine pasta, stir in a dash of olive oil and press a clove of garlic to season and serve the sauce over the linguine. Top with more parm... yum!

I am going to buy a smaller crock pot because I have decided to start preparing Izzy's meals seperately in another cooker with fresh veggies, some meat and brown rice... They smooth it with some olive oil...

My crock pot is huge and I love it. I have about worn the thing out using it so much but I think whoever invented it should get a big kiss :)

Have a great Thursday... head to Sandra's blog for more Slow cooking recipes...
