Tonight we had “Busy Day Chicken” Served with macaroni and cheese with green beans tomatoes and bacon and cheddar bay biscuits.

Ingredients

  • 1 (4 pound) whole chicken
  • 1 1/2 cups prepared barbecue sauce

Directions

  1. Put chicken, legs up, into slow cooker. Pour sauce over and inside the chicken. Cover.
  2. Cook for 8 to 10 hours on low setting. It is not a good idea to check it, as steam escapes and it takes quite awhile to reheat.

I’m gonna say that this recipe DID NOT taste how I thought it was going to. The ratings on it were 4.5/5, This chicken did fall right of the bones, but it was FLAVORLESS and a little dry.

If we were rating this chicken alone we would probably say 3/5 stars at the very most, I would not be making this chicken again. The rest of the chicken I don’t want to waste so, I will be making it into chicken salad for sandwiches.

For the biscuits I used the Bisquick recipe 


Ingredients

    2 1/4 cups Original Bisquick mix
    2/3 cup milk


Directions

Heat oven to 450. Stir ingredients  until soft dough forms. Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. 

 I added a cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and garlic pepper.

They turned out amazing

Tonight’s dinner was Chicken Scampi. Served with Parmesan herb angel hair pasta, salad and croissants.

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 4 boneless chicken breast halves, sliced lengthwise into thirds

Directions

  1. In a skillet heat the butter or margarine and oil over medium high until the butter/margarine melts. Add the parsley, basil, oregano and garlic and salt and mix together in the skillet. Stir in lemon juice.
  2. Then add the chicken and saute for about 3 minutes or until white. Lower the heat and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. More butter/margarine can be added if needed.
