Crock Pot Teriyaki Chicken

I got this recipe off of Pinterest.  I've actually gotten so many wonderful recipes from there!  This is a great recipe for Sundays--it's been a lifesaver for us with our 2:30 pm meeting time this year.  I published this in our Relief Society monthly newsletter and heard rave reviews from several sisters.


Ingredients

12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (I use a mixture of thighs and breasts), about 3 lbs.
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup soy sauce (we use a gluten-free variety)
6 tablespoons cider vinegar
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
4 1/2 teaspoons cold water
Hot cooked rice


Directions

1.  Place the chicken in a 4 qt. slow cooker.
2.  In a large bowl, combine the sugar, soy sauce, cider vinegar, ginger, garlic, and pepper.  Pour over chicken.
3.  Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until chicken is tender and cooked through.
4.  Remove chicken to a serving platter; keep warm.
5.  Skim fat from cooking liquid.
6.  Place cooking liquid in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
7.  Combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
8.  Gradually stir cornstarch/water mixture into the cooking liquid and stir until sauce is thickened.
9.  Serve sauce over chicken and rice.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

This is one of our current favorites.  It's quick, easy, and so yummy.  Of course, you can't go wrong with chicken, ham, and swiss cheese!

Ingredients

2 cups cooked rice
3 cups cooked shredded chicken (I use a Costco rotisserie chicken)
6 slices Swiss cheese
10 slices of ham, chopped
2 cans cream of chicken soup (I use a gluten-free brand)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
approx. 10 saltine crackers (I use rice or corn Chex)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon parsley

Directions

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2.  Spread the rice over the bottom of the baking dish.
3.  Arrange the cooked chicken over the rice.
4.  Lay the swiss cheese slices evenly over the chicken.
5.  Spread the cut up ham over the top of the cheese.
6.  Mix the cans of soup, the milk, and the sour cream.  Then pour this mixture over the ham and spread              evenly.
7.  Crush the crackers (or Chex) and mix the seasonings into it.  Sprinkle on top of soup mixture.
8.  Bake for 30 minutes and ENJOY!
