Reggie’s Gluten Free Crock Pot Chicken Recipe

One of the fun things about focusing more on food is that it has become a family affair. The other day Michael walked into the kitchen and asked if I ever put basil leaves in my drinks. When I responded that I didn’t and he promptly countered with, “Giada (De Laurentis) does.” While I was making dinner in the kitchen, he and Sean had turned to her show on the living room television. They enjoy watching cooking shows and sharing new tips with me J

The boys’ interest is cute, but Reggie’s interest is actually helpful. Reggie has never been one of those bumbling in the kitchen husbands anyway, but now he is broadening his cooking repertoire. While we were on winter break, he made the most delicious crock pot chicken. Do you ever use a crock pot/slow cooker?  If not, I highly recommend it. I love my crock pot. It is my second favorite kitchen appliance at the moment (right after my counter grill). When I’m busy, I just put my meat in the crock pot (right out of the freezer / there is no need to defrost it); season it and set it on “low” for 6 hours. It’s one of the greatest inventions ever…especially for the winter months, when you can make beans, soups, stews, chili and more.  Anyway, Reggie said that I could share his “recipe” with you, so here it is.

 

This chicken was so good the next day. Did I mention that this chicken is gluten-free? For those who are gluten-free, crock pot cooking is great – you get the entire flavor with none of the gluten! (I started a discussion over on Udi’s gluten-free community about crock pot cooking that you can take a peek at below.)
