Brown chicken. Place in crock pot. Sprinkle salad dressing mix over chicken. Add wine. Cover; cook on high about 4 hours. (Low for 6 - 8 hours.)

Touch of the Orient Chicken (6.5 PTS)

6 whole chicken legs -- not leg quarters
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 cloves garlic -- minced
1 8 oz can tomato sauce

Remove skin from chicken. Use a paper towel to make this slippery task easier. It grips the chicken like magic! Place chicken in a slow cooker. In a medium bowl combine soy sauce, brown
sugar, garlic, and tomato sauce and stir well. Pour sauce over chicken. Cover and cook on low about 6 - 8 hours or until chicken is tender. Serve with rice. Sometimes I like to use 12 boneless thighs and break it into bite-sized chunks when tender, then throw in a bag of frozen oriental vegetables. You can thicken the sauce with a bit of cornstarch, if desired. Yield: 6 - 8 servings This freeze well.

Hi all. Sorry to hog this thread. Here are some of the recipes I've gotten recently in exchange with fellow Weight Watchers. The points are WW, if you are following another diet system just ignore them.

I have over 200 pages of recipes recently acquired, so let me know if any of these sound appealing.

There is another marvelous chicken crock pot recipe that I don't seem to be able to find tonight. Will post that one tomorrow.

Regards!

Slick and I just been sitting here with our crockpots in our laps waiting for you to post these recipes.

Thanks for the recipes, I have copied them.
