Tasty Chicken Slow Cooker Recipe!
Hello all! I tried this recipe last night for my friends and they all liked it a lot so I thought I'd share!
This is the original recipe:
www.http://allrecipes.com/recipe/slow-cooker-chicken-marrake sh/detail.aspx
but I made the following changes:
I also brined the chicen for 3 hours before hand because some of the reviewers on the website said the chicken could get pretty dry. With the brine they were very moist! I also think this would be pretty easy to turn into a vegetarian recipe. Maybe up the beans and add some tofu?
I served it on couscous with a side salad. Everyone thought it was good and (I think) it's pretty healthy too!
Have a great day!

I brined 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts in 4 cups of cold water, 1/4c of table salt and 1/4c of brown sugar. I use brines quite regularly. They work best on chicken, pork, turkey and seafood. Brines help keep food moist. There are also a lot of them that add a lot of great flavor. Try it on a Thanksgiving turkey. It's amazing! Here are some helpful brine links.

These I have tried on chicken breasts, but not on a whole bird.
