Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken
COMMENTS:
I found this recipe (via Pinterest) from #Gimmesomeoven
INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce (I use Bragg's)
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Combine all ingredients in your slow cooker, cooking 4-6 hours (depending on your appliance) until chicken shreds easily.
If you would like to add to or thicken the remaining sauce, whisk together 1/4 cup cold water with 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. Add this to the remaining sauce in a small saucepan. Allow it to boil 1-2 minutes and pour over the chicken.
We served this with rice and sprinkled the top with sesame seeds. Yum!
To freeze, just combine all ingredients in a freezer bag before cooking. When ready to serve, dump contents of bag in your slow cooker and you are good to go!
SPECIAL NOTE:
If I have labeled a recipe as GlutenFree or Dairy Free but it appears to have those ingredients in it... that means the recipe is still delicious with substitutes/replacements. Ex: soy milk, lactose-free cheese, Bragg's liquid aminos (for soy sauce), all-purpose gluten free flour (Better Batter is my favorite), etc. Please check your individual ingredients to be sure they are GF or DF, if that is what you need.

Buttermilk Ranch Chicken and Potatoes
COMMENTS:
From South Your Mouth on Pinterest, I found this gorgeous and delicious dinner.
INGREDIENTS:
10 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and/or legs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 pounds small red potatoes
1 1/2 cups buttermilk ranch dressing (like Newman's Own)
DIRECTIONS:
Add chicken, olive oil, salt, garlic, onion powder and peppers to a large bowl and toss to coat.
Arrange chicken pieces evenly in greased pan and bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, clean potatoes. Leave the smaller potatoes whole and cut the larger ones in half. You don’t want anything bigger than 2” in diameter. After the 45 minutes, place potatoes in pan with chicken. Bake for 30 minutes.
Then baste chicken and potatoes with buttermilk ranch dressing and sprinkle potatoes with a little coarse grain salt. Bake 30 more minutes.
Baste chicken and potatoes again and bake for 20-30 more minutes, this time at 375*.
~2 hours and 15 minutes total cook time~

Garlic Parmesan Chicken
COMMENTS:
Super easy, super delicious! I halved the sauce ingredients from the original recipe without a problem. (I did not use fresh Parmesan cheese - it would probably be even better using the fresh.) So the way I made the recipe is as follows:
INGREDIENTS:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 stick of butter, softened
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
6 minced garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil
DIRECTIONS:
Cook chicken in crockpot for 3 hours; drain.
Mix together remaining ingredients and pour over the chicken 30 minutes before serving.
Allow to cook for those additional 30 minutes and enjoy!

White Chicken Chili Soup
COMMENTS:
I found this recipe on Pinterest from a blog called Flourish. I adapted it slightly for what I had on hand and since most of my family prefers more mild flavors. I also made it with more chicken broth, making it more of a soup than a chili. I thought the flavor was phenomenal; my husband thought it could have used more spice... so add more/less cumin as you desire.
INGREDIENTS:
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
2 cans chicken broth
1 can white beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can corn
1 can green chilies
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Sauté onion and bell pepper in oil. Once tender add to remaining ingredients in crockpot, cooking on low for 4-6 hours.

Italian Meatballs
COMMENTS:
This recipes originally called for ground chicken or pork. I ended up using ground turkey because that is what I had on hand. They were delicious!
INGREDIENTS:
2 pounds ground chicken, turkey, or pork
1 medium onion minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup oats
2 eggs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Blend all ingredients together well. Use a 3T scoop to make balls.
Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
(These can just be baked on a cookie sheet or stoneware because the grease content is so low.)
These meatballs also freeze well.
