So after many, many months of (over) using my credit card to buy stuff for my new house, I had accumulated zillions of "points" that could be used toward zillions of items, gift cards, and pretty much anything under the sun. Usually, I put my points toward gas cards, the occasional Bloomies gift card (hey, a girl's got needs!) and cash cards, but recently I got myself a slow-cooker. And while I've not yet become BF's with it, I am definitely trying.
So far it's been all shredded bbq quicken all the time (add chicken breasts to pot, cover in whatever bbq sauce you have and cook away) but this weekend I got a bit more adventurous and made up a recipe for lemony chicken.
Here's what I used:
- two chicken breasts, four legs (only way I can get the kids to eat this stuff)
- half a yellow onion
- two lemons
- cup chicken broth
- lemon dill rub (Whole Foods brand)
- EVOO
- half package Good Seasons salad dressing
- tbsp capers (optional)
While I didn't do much measuring, I started out by tossing the chicken with a bit of evoo and putting some of the lemon dill rub on it. I put it under the broiler for a while so we wouldn't be eating albino chicken (gross). After the broiler, I layered the bottom of the crock pot with very, super thinly sliced onions, covered that with thinly sliced lemons, and added the chicken.
I set all that aside and made a sauce of about 1/4cup of evoo, the Good Seasons, the juice from half a lemon, and about half a cup of chicken broth. I poured that over the chicken, added a few more lemon slices and set it for four hours to cook. I added some whole organic carrots for the last hour to serve next to the chicken on the plate.
It was awesome. I mean, I could have made this in the oven (see recipe below for a variation on this), but the chicken would not have come out so tender. It almost fell off the bone. And there was almost no heavy lifting at all.
Obviously I forgot to take an after picture but the pre-cooking pic is pretty indicative of what it looked like.
Too bad I can't share the smell that permeated my house - that was half of the experience.












The best alternative to bankruptcy is the debt settlement program. Through this option debtors can not only avoid bankruptcy but they can also easily get rid of their massive unsecured liabilities. This program can solve their credit related problems and can enable them to rebuild their financial empire which was damaged due to recent financial instability. This relief program, if intelligently and efficiently handled, could result in massive debt elimination. Yes, debtors' liabilities could be legally eliminated by more than 50 percent.
