French Chicken


French Chicken

frozen chicken breasts
1/3-1/2 c. dijon or honey mustard
1-3 Tb. water

Put all ingredients in a crock pot and cook until done. The longer it cooks, the more tender the chicken gets and the mellower the mustard flavor becomes.

I called it French Chicken because my kids hate mustard, but once it's been cooking for several hours, they couldn't really taste it. They just thought it was good.

Product Review: Barefoot Contessa Blondies

Image
My mom picked up this mix at a kitchen store in Salt Lake recently for our family. We couldn't wait to try them. It comes in a box, with pouches for the mix and one for the chocolate chunks. Just add a stick of butter, an egg, and the optional walnuts. (We left those out.) Then all we had to do was bake and wait. Super yum! Worth every minute. I will add that they are pricey. Mom got them on sale, but they normally sell around $10 for a 9" pan of brownies. We wound up with 6. Cheaper than 6 bakery brownies, but by no means cheap. So for taste, 4.5 stars, but for value, more like 2 stars. But then, I'm pretty frugal with shopping. I'd say pick it up if they're on sale or save for a special treat.
