latest crock pot find

This recipe was very well received. We had friends who also needed a meal that night (don't you hate when you discover that you have NO food in your fridge!) and it yielded enough food for their family of six and ours of four! We just added a quick quesadilla for their dear veggie daughter, a bag of salad and made a full pot of couscous (didn't have enough rice, which I think would have been the best side for this dish) and it fed us all...well!!! and even the kids loved it and went back for more. In case the link doesn't work, here is the recipe:

--12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, or 6 boneless, skinless breast halves
--1 cup brown sugar (it's okay. you can brush your teeth after.)
--1/4 cup lemon-lime soda (stay with me...)
--2/3 cup vinegar (I used white wine, but think regular white would be fine)
--3 cloves smashed and chopped garlic
--2 T soy sauce
--1 tsp ground black pepper

The Directions.

Use a 4 quart crockpot for this recipe.

Plop the chicken into your crockpot. Cover with the brown sugar, pepper, chopped garlic, and soy sauce. Add the vinegar, and pour in the soda. It will bubble!

Cover and cook on low for 6-9 hours, or on high for 4-5. The chicken is done when it is cooked through and has reached desired consistency. The longer you cook it, the more tender it will be.

Serve over a bowl of white rice with a ladle full of the broth.

Enjoy!!
