Jackay, I don't like all of the LC offerings... so I'm further limited by my likes and dislikes. But, I keep on going! The shrimp and angel hair pasta is one of my faves--also the garlic chicken and the garlic beef and broccoli.

Lumifan, like modkittn I also wonder about your calorie total. Looks pretty low, especially if you are working out.. ??

rubberlegs, what is "To Die For Chicken"? Sounds good...

Jay

It sounds like its to die for! :rofl:

:lol3:

This recipe was originally To Die For Pot Roast, but it works for chicken too.

Stick a bag of frozen chicken in the crockpot along with a packet each of brown gravy/italian dressing/ranch dressing and a cup of water. Thicken with cornstarch when done.

How much chicken, a pound? It sounds pretty yummy :) I assume it would take 6 hours on high, does that sound about right? I have a great Hawaiian Chicken crockpot recipe. I'll have to post it soon!

I used a big bag of frozen chicken. More like 3-5 lbs. This tastes like the non-Asian version of General Tsao's Chicken. I prefer General Tsao's (one of my all-time fav recipes) but you can't beat zero prep time.

I always thaw my chicken first - I've had bad luck with my meals being too watery, but with this sauce I don't think it would be a problem. This takes maybe 4 hours on high thawed - 6 frozen.

The thought of Hawaiian Chicken is making me drool... And I have a good recipe for sweet potatoes and onions somewhere. Yum!
