My method of cooking is to either loosely follow a recipe or dump things in a pot as I go.
Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised. Sometimes I'm a little sad while I eat dinner.
Last night I was pleasantly surprised! Here's my very own recipe:
1 lb skinless boneless chicken breasts
3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp teriyaki sauce
2 1/2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp chili paste (more or less depending on how much heat you like)
1/2 Tbsp sesame seeds
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1. Dump all ingredients into a 2 quart crock pot.
2. Cook on high for 3 - 3.5 hours. You could probably cook it on low for 5-6 hours.
3. Eat it.
*Serving suggestion: pour the juice into a pan over medium heat. Add baby spinach and stir until wilted.
I served mine over fresh baby spinach and poured some of the juice over it to wilt the spinach a bit.
I don't know what to call this recipe. Asian Chicken is too plain for me. Suggestions?

Chicken and Dumplings
Eh.
It was good, but not our taste. Before I tell you why, let me tell you what it is.
I found a pin with a recipe for Chicken and Dumplings...in the crock pot! Well, what good southern wife doesn't make chicken and dumplings for her hubby? I gathered my ingredients and wrassled my giant crock pot out of the cabinet it resides in. I started dumping everything in before I realized I only had 1 of the 2 cans of cream of chicken that the recipe calls for. I did have a can of broccoli cheese soup, so I used that. It gave the dish an interesting touch.
The chicken was very tasty and very tender, but the dumplings just weren't for us. I prefer Cracker Barrel dumplings! Plus, using canned soups adds a lot of extra sodium. Neither of use like a lot of salt, so it was a bit much.
I may make chicken using the recipe, but with my own cream soup base and without the dumplings. That way it would be low-carb too. I think it would be pretty similar to my grandmother's chicken stew recipe then. Hm...maybe that will be on the menu next week!
