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?
