Chinese Lemon Chicken

**UPDATE**
We liked this meal but would double the sauce. I accidently cooked it longer than we were supposed to and that also made it a little dry.

Okay, here is a NEW recipe that I am going to try. With my trusty new rice cooker and plethera of rice I found some recipes to use. It sounds easy and with 10 ingredients or less!

Ingredients:
4 boneless, chicken breast
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
6 oz (1/2) can lemonade concentrate, thawed
3 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
3 tsp ketchup
olive oil for browning chicken

Directions:
Cut chicken into strips or largish chunks. Dredge in flour and salt, shake off excess. Brown chicken in a skillet with a bit of olive oil (you are not trying to cook the chicken--just give it some color and get the flour mixture to stick a bit).

Place into crockpot. Mix the rest of the ingredients in a seperate bowl and pour over the top of chicken pieces. Cover and cook of high for 4 hours, low for 6-8.

Easy Pot Roast

Easy Crock Pot, Pot Roast

I was at a quilting retreat and this is an easy dish that we all loved.

1 pot roast
1 large bottle of V8 (found in the juice section)
potatoes and carrots and onions, to your liking

Add all ingredients into slow cooker. Set on auto until two hours before it is done and then turn to high until ready to eat.

The ladies made this dish and started the crock pots around 9 that morning. Then around 4 they turned it up. You could reverse the time to turn the crock pot to high just so long as you do turn it up. I am told that the tomatoes in the V8 on high helps break down the meat and tenderizes it.

Easy Crock Pot Peanut Cluster

This is an easy treat that Dee Toomey shared with my mom, it makes a lot so it it perfect for sharing!

16oz Salted Dry Roasted peanuts
16oz Unsalted Dry Roasted peanuts
1 package semi sweet choc chips
1 4oz bar German Chocolate
1 package Almond Bark

Put all ingredients in a large crock pot and cook 3 hours on low. Do not remove the lid to peek! Turn off and let cool for about 15 minutes. Mix well and drop by tsp full on wax paper! Let cool and enjoy!
