Recipe Tips

Programmable crock pot - Great for when you are going to be away.
Liners- We use crock pot liners to just toss and go. You will love how easy clean up is.
Chicken - Approximately 6 Chicken Breasts but I often cut them up into smaller pieces to make it easier for the kids. We recommend cutting or cooking about the same size to ensure the chicken cooks evenly.
Meat Thermometer - Cooking time will vary so we recommend using a meat thermometer to ensure is fully cooked before serving.

Variations Ideas

Chicken - You can also use skinless chicken thighs, chicken tenderloin or anything you prefer. Pork chops also work in this recipe and taste delicious.
Jelly - You can also use apricot preserves like in this Crock Pot Apricot Chicken recipe.
Seasoning - Sometimes I add in red pepper flakes for extra heat with the black pepper.
