Zesty Barbecue Chicken Ingredients:
1 bottle of barbecue sauce - I like to use a honey barbecue flavor
1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
1/4 cup brown sugar - We use Splenda
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
frozen, skinless chicken - 6 breasts or 10-12 tenderloins
Directions:
Place chicken in the slow cooker. In a separate bowl, mix barbecue sauce, dressing, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce together. Pour over chicken. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours. About an hour before serving, I shred the chicken and place back in the slow cooker to absorb more of the juices. Delish!
I've been testing possible side options for this great chicken and decided to try a new Baked Beans recipe. I came across two recipes here and here that had ingredients I liked, so I opted to mix and match.
Baked Beans Ingredients:
1 can kidney beans1 can butter beans
1 can lima beans
1 can grillin' beans
bacon pieces - I used 1 package, but you can use however much you want
onion - I used about a 1/4 cup fresh and 1/4 cup minced
1/1 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 cup barbecue sauce
2-4 tablespoons brown sugar - I used Splenda
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Simmer brown sugar, onion, barbecue sauce and other seasonings for about ten minutes. Drain butter beans, kidney beans and lima beans and mix with grillin' beans and bacon pieces in a separate bowl. Add in barbecue sauce mixture and mix well. Pour into greased pan and bake for one hour.
I'm happy with how this turned out! And my fiance loved it! There was the kick he loves, but it wasn't too spicy for my palate. Next time, I may skip the minced onion and opt for all fresh. Otherwise, great complement to the barbecue chicken. Dinner is served!
Update: Since we had more than half a pan of baked beans left, we decided to add ground beef and make a meal of it! It was delicious!
