World's Best Chicken

Serves 4-6 people
Rated 10 out of 10. Our favorite recipe so far!!



World's Best Chicken Recipe: Originally found here. 
4-6 Chicken Thighs
1/2 cup Dijon Mustard
1/4 cup Maple Syrup
1 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
2 tsp. Rosemary 
Salt & Pepper

Trim fat off your chicken thighs. (Don't worry about getting all the fat off. Chicken thighs are really fatty, but they are so cheap! They are perfect for the crock-pot because the fat melts off of them and by the time they are done they fall right off the bone.) You can substitute for chicken breasts if you prefer, but I have made them both ways and thighs always taste better in the crock-pot.(I used chicken breast and they were great!) Dump all ingredients into your freezer bags. 

When ready to use, thaw bag just enough to dump into crock-pot. Cook on low for 8 hours. Serve with rice.

I really liked this version of Taco Soup. I made mine the morning of and stuck it in the crockpot but you could freeze it as well.

Chicken Cacciatore

To be honest, I wasn't sure this was going to be good but it turned out better than expected! I'm sure it has to do with your spaghetti sauce as well. I think we used a Prego brand but I'm not an expert on spaghetti sauces. My kids liked it too. I think I would have added a little more chicken too, there was a lot of sauce leftover.

Chicken Broccoli Alfredo

This was ok although both Emily and I thought it didn't have the best texture after freezing and then slow cooking. The Alfredo sauce seemed to fall apart. We may have to tweak this recipe to do better in the crockpot. I might try it again without freezing. It is pretty darn easy and can be thrown in the crockpot in no time.

Slow Cooker BBQ Spareribs

A lot of our first month's recipes came from Six Sisters Stuff. They were all pretty tasty but some we liked more than others.

The BBQ ribs were very tasty and liked by most in my family, which is saying a lot with the picky kids. Definitely making again. It is easy to use the leftovers for sandwiches, wraps or on salads.
