Healthy Chicken

Ok so today I decided to start doing more crockpot cooking due to our bust schedules. Here was the first recipe.

Healthy Chicken. I altered the recipe some and will note the differences

3 1/2 lbs chicken. (I used boneless skinless chicken breasts.

2 cups skim milk. ( I used coconut milk vanilla flavored because my daughter has a dairy allergy). I do think this added to the flavor

5 cups rice or corn cereal finely crushed. (I used rice chex because they are gluten free and I had them)

1tsp salt (I used garlic salt)

1/2 tap black pepper

1. Remove skin from chicken. Dip in milk

2. Put crumbs in a plastic bag (I also added the garlic salt and pepper here). Drop chicken into bag to coat with cereal. Shake well.

3. Place chicken pieces in slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. (again I added to cereal so I didn't duplicate)

4. Cover. Cook 3 1/2-4 hours

I tried this because I thought it would be quick and easy. It was. But it dried out. If I ever try again I will make sure it comes out right at 3.5 hours. I turned to warm after 3 1/2 hours and this I'm sure is where I went wrong. The flavor was OK but not stellar. I doubt I try again as I would rather try the thousands of other recipes out there.

Dan's Favorite Meatloaf

Dan's Favorite Meatloaf

1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 egg
4 Tbls ketchup
Salt and Pepper to taste ( I added a little garlic salt because we like it)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Combine meat, bread crumbs, milk, eggs, onion, ketchup, salt & peppe.  Placed in greased loaf pan.

Topping

4 Tbls vinegar
4 Tbls brown sugar
2 Tbls Worstershire
1/2 cup ketchup

Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil (very important...do not skip this step or do in microwave....it will not taste right)
Pour over the meatloaf and bake 1 1/2 hours
I poke holes in the meat so the sauce will go down in the meatloaf. 

A good friend of mine gave me this recipe recently.  I know at least 4 people that have made it and it is wonderful.  We all really like it.  Enjoy and let me know what you think!!!!
