LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN
3 pounds Chicken
1/2 cup Lemon juice
1/2 cup Garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon Seasoned salt
1 teaspoon Poultry seasoning
2 dashes Tabasco
1 cup White wine
Skin and cut up chicken. Combine with other ingredients in slow cooker/Crock Pot. Set on low.
Upon return from work, debone chicken. Serve over rice. If you freeze chicken pieces separately, and mix up other ingredients the night before, you can dump it all together quickly in the morning. And if you start with frozen chicken it doesn’t fall apart.
CROCKPOT CHICKEN WITH CHEESE SAUCE
Serves 2
-Place two chicken breast halves in crockpot (frozen or thawed)
-Mix together one can cream of chicken soup & half soup can of white wine; pour over chicken
-Place two slices swiss cheese over top of chicken breasts (processed cheese melts and blends more easily)
-Cook in crockpot for 2-3 hours (on high) or 3-4 hours (on low)
-Serve over steamed rice
(This recipe is also good with a little lemon juice in place of the wine.)
CREAMY CHICKEN AND RICE
* chicken tenders (3 per person)
* cream of mushroom soup
(1 can for 2-3 people, 2 for 4-6)
* Mrs. Grass Onion Soup Mix (1 per each can of soup)
* 1Tbsp olive oil
* long grain brown rice (1 cup per can of soup)
* 1Tbsp whole thyme, crushed
* S&P to taste
* desired amount of broccoli florettes (optional)
* diced red pepper (optional)
When using brown rice, you need 2 1/4 cups liquid for each 1 cup rice. So I empty my can of soup into a measuring cup, and add water (or white wine) to equal 2 ½ (not a typo, you need the extra for the onion soup mix). Heat olive oil in a saute pan, and add rice until it begins to crackle, but not brown. This will make the rice dense, and help it keep it’s shape while cooking. Whisk together the soups and additional H2o, herbs and seasonings. Combine all ingredients (except veggies) in
crockpot, and cook on high 4-6 hours, or 8-10 hours on low. During last 30-45 minutes, add desired veggies.
Great with crusty bread, and a fresh salad.

Smoker Honey-Glazed Breast Of Turkey
1 bone-in turkey breast
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 lemon — juiced
1/2 teaspoon salt
liquid smoke — (optional)
Rinse turkey breast and pat dry. Heat honey, sherry and butter in a saucepan. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice and salt (and the few drops of Liquid Smoke). Pour honey mixture (we recommend you cool the mixture thoroughly first) over turkey breast and let stand, covered, in refrigerator for 3 to 5 hours (We think overnight is much better, several days is okay, too, turning at least twice a day). Place turkey breast on smoker grid and baste. Baste once again when almost done. See below for times.
Charcoal Smoker: Use 7 pounds charcoal, 4 quarts hot water (we make a portion of this white wine, and put in an onion, a few celery stalks, a lemon cut in half, a few cloves of garlic and a couple bay leaves), 2 wood sticks (we use about 4 to 6 hickory blocks, soaked for at least an hour in water), and smoke 3 to 4 hours. (Stop about 1/2 hour early if you plan to reheat at a later time in the oven; we don’t usually do this, but rather pour hot gravy over the sliced turkey if we want it warm.)
Electric Smoker: Use 4 quarts hot water (see recommendations for charcoal smoker for our suggestions), 2 wood sticks (ditto) and smoke 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours.
