Weekly Weigh In - Week 9. I Do!

I want to marry Weight Watchers.  I think we'd be very happy together.  Hopefully James won't mind sharing me with my new love.  Weight Watchers gives me something that he just can't even fulfill. I ate pizza two days in a row this weekend and still managed to lose 2.2 lbs.  Oh yes, that is true love.

So tonight I celebrated with 4 oz of wine, 40 cloves of garlic chicken, and bread smothered with said garlic clove.  It was good. Very good.

I know many people have their own variation of the Garlic Chicken but this is how I made it.  The best part? I did it in the crock pot!

This recipe was adapted from Alton Brown by a couple of women on a forum that I frequent. 

Into your slow cooker:

6-8 large frozen chicken breasts
40 whole cloves of garlic
10 large sprigs of fresh thyme
1 can of chicken broth
1/4 cup of evoo
1 cup of white wine
salt and pepper

Cook on low for about 7 hours.

It was suggested to use the juice of one lemon and then quarter it and add to the crock pot. I personally would not do this again.  I think the lemon taste took away from the garlicky goodness of this recipe.  But that's just me and James. 
Warning - peeling 40 cloves of garlic takes awhile.  I suggest forcing your significant other to help you the night before or even better, buy frozen peeled garlic cloves.

Hmm perhaps I should marry garlic chicken, or wine, or my crock pot too. 

What do you want to marry?
