Why Didn't I Think of That--Chicken
I was recently talking with a friend of mine about what we were making for dinner that night. I told her I had a bottle of BBQ sauce and some chicken breasts in the slow cooker. She was shocked and amazed that she didn't think of that herself. Being inspired by that phone conversation--here are some things that I have done in my slow cooker with a few chicken breasts and 1-2 ingredients:
*3-4 Chicken breasts; bottle of BBQ sauce--cook on low 5-6 hours
*3-4 Chicken breasts; bottle of Italian salad dressing--cook on low 5-6 hours
*3-4 Chicken breasts; jar of salsa--cook on low 5-6 hours

*3-4 Chicken breasts; bottle of Italian salad dressing--cook on low 5-6 hours
