Yes, the menu plan varied again this week due to missing ingredients in my freezer. My memory failed me and when I made my list, I didn't think I needed to physically check the freezer. Hah! I guess from now on I need to be walking around the kitchen, checking for ingredients using my eyes not my memory. lol
Anyway, I had a bag of frozen chicken breasts so I made this recipe that I found on Pinterest.com that I had wanted to try anyway. Ironically, a friend of mine had made the same one the day before, so I had a frame of reference.
The picture from the website shows that the finished product looks like this.....

but mine wasn't quite as pretty. However, it was very tasty. I put frozen breasts from a bag directly in the crock, poured the sauce over the night before, and placed the removable crock in the refrigerator. Then I had my lovely son plug it in the next morning before he left for class. Couldn't be simpler! The semi frozen breasts cooked for approximately 6 hours. The breasts held together enough that they could be eaten with only a fork, but they weren't falling apart or "shredded" style. I served the chicken with rice pilaf, and sweet peas.
We had some leftovers that I packaged in to lunch size portions for the next day, making this a definite keeper since by noon the next day everything was eaten up.
In conclusion, I'm just pleased as punch when a crockpot recipe delivers on taste and texture. You should try this one. Just monitor for cooking time with your appliance :o)
