Crockpot Sweet and Spicy Chicken

I put together this recipe on a whim to see what I could do with what we had in the house.

I looked in the fridge and freezer and saw a big bag of boneless, skinless chicken breasts.  Thought "that would be easy to whip up a meal".  I also saw a full bag of hash browns. 

So here it goes:

I took 6 pieces of good sized frozen chicken breasts and put them into the crockpot on high.  Add salt and pepper, I use a lot of seasonings, I find that many recipes are under-seasoned, and a little salt and pepper does the trick.(Hint: Use a disposable crockpot liner, it is the greatest invention ever.)  😉 

Added some diced onion, about a 1/2 of a large yellow onion.  Next time I will also dice up some jalapenos as well.  Cook in crockpot on high for 3 hours.

Then drain the liquid off. 

Put the chicken and onions back into the crockpot.  

Add a cup or so of Sweet Baby Ray's Sweet and Spicy BBQ sauce.  But hey, use whatever BBQ sauce you enjoy.   Next time I will use a cup of my homemade BBQ sauce.  Look up the recipe, I think it is excellent and have not had any complaints.

Add one cup or so of orange marmalade.

Cook this mixture for an hour or so on high in the crockpot.

For the hash browns, I used them as a base.  I fried a 4" circle of the hash browns in a skillet until browned on both sides using a light mix of olive oil and butter.  Salt and pepper to taste.

Place the hash browns on a plate put a piece of the cooked chicken on top.  Spoon as much of the sauce as you wish.  Enjoy.😀
