What's for Dinner?

[Cinder & Smoke]

HEY!

MY kinda recipe!

I put some frozen, boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crock pot
* with a can of COKE,
* ketchup,
* mustard,
* teriyaki sauce,
* worcheshire (sp) sauce
* and a couple other things.

They have been cooking all day - and smell nummmmy!

But ... Uhhhhhh ...... ??

Are there some rough guidelines on QUANTITIES?

Like ... HOW Much of all that stuff?

And I looked ... can't find the container marked "a Couple Other Things"

Got any Hints of what might be suggested?

Hey Phred, I think that kind of recipe isn't really a recipe... just a guideline. Use whatever you want, depending on your personal preference and taste.

I was with my best friend and her girls for most of the day and I watched Days of our lives (I am addicted ) when I got home and then took a nap. I woke up and had a rice krispies treat and a granola bar for dinner. I wasn't really hungry tonight.

Krista, I am a firm believer in cereal for supper. :P But I'm also one that enjoys supper's leftovers the morning after for breakfast.

Tonight.. it is angel hair pasta with spaghetti sauce and smoked sausage meatballs. (hubby is making it)

Tomorrow.. earlier today, I started red beans to soak. I'll put the beans in the crock pot either tonight or eaaaaarly tomorrow with some Tony Chacheres and let it cook all day. Served over jasmine rice with corn bread on the side. Red beans and rice, woo!

I am, too! I like to eat cereal for supper because it is fast when I'm hungry. It's eggs for supper tonight, though, because they need to get used up.

A typical Kitchen Person (COOK's) answer ... "season to taste"

HOW do I know what it'll "taste like" till it's DONE (and too late to change it)!?

You Cook People really otta get your "directions" together a lil better!

And what about the "couple other things" ?? Like WHAT??
* green beans?
* onions?
* corn flakes?
* a pound of fish?
* a dash of Jello?

MickeyD doesn't make ya think THIS Hard for dinner.

Possibly some seasonings and herbs. Though, I'd be extra careful when adding other flavors if you're adding a lot of worcestershire sauce. She might've meant some salt and pepper, though, I'd be careful with that because there is already a lot of salt in the stuff she used.

You just have to get a feel for what you like. Spicy versus mild, or tangy versus sweet, etc.

well uhhh
I cook like my grandma - a pinch of this - a bit of that -
so about a cup of ketchup
2 T of the other ingredients - (mustard, white vinegar, worc. sauce, teriyaki sauce)
1/4 brown sugar -
onion - but I used a SMIIIIDDDGE of garlic
and a can of REAL COCA COLA
and I used frozen skinless chicken breasts - I put them in the crock pot frozen and turned the heat up to high for the first hour - then turned it down to low for about 5 hours.....

http://www.aliciaskitchen.com/crockp...ken-recipe.htm similiar to this.....

and actually Buckner lol I didn't use any salt or pepper!!
I prefer a sweet BBQ taste - which is why I put in brown sugar....
if you like jello flavored chicken you could probably put that in there too!

Krista, I eat cereal a LOT for lunch - I work 2nd shift and the cafeteria opens @ 5 so if it gets too late when I am getting ready for work, I'll just eat a bowl of cereal....

Friday my mom came over and we spent over 4 hours planting flowers and weeding.
I put in the crock pot - a jar of Hunts Tomato sauce with Mushrooms, a can of crushed tomatoes, about 5-6 small packets of sweetner and 1/4 brown sugar. (like I said I like my tomato stuff sweeeet) Let it simmer for about 4 hours served it over chicken and prosciutto tortellini, and ricotta and spinach tortellini. It was fabulous!!!
