After much prodding...

My wonderful husband has been after me to start up a blog about all my GF slow cooker recipes.  I put up a Facebook group (you can find it here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/304138686275124/ ) and started posting the recipes I was using for my busy family.  I was hopeful that many others would also post recipes to share and that the list would grow.  While two others did post a recipe, it was mostly myself posting to the docs (which I don't mind at all).  My husband said that I might be able to reach more people if I started up a blog about the slow cooker dinners that our family enjoys.  So I hemmed and hawed about it, and now I am finally doing it!

With our busy family it is so wonderful to be able to sit down to dinner at a reasonable time.  For us that means a slow cooker meal is in order.  With the gluten free challenge, I couldn't find many cookbooks let alone slow cooker cookbooks.  So here's to a NEW adventure!!

Your first recipe to try:


Italian Chicken Sandwiches

6 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced
1/3 cup GF Chili Garlic Sauce
3 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
3 tablespoons dried oregano (or you can use Italian Seasoning)
5 cubes GF beef bouillon, crushed

GF rolls or hamburger buns (or anything similar in size)

Spray inside of 6qt slow cooker with cooking spray. Place chicken breasts in slow cooker, place chopped onion and diced bell pepper on top of chicken. In a small bowl combine the chili garlic sauce, white vinegar, oregano and beef bouillon - pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until chicken is cooked through and tender.

Remove chicken from slow cooker, leaving juices in the slow cooker, and shred. Place shredded chicken back into slow cooker w/juices. Mix shredded chicken well w/juices, cover and let heat through.

Place about 1/2 cup (more or less depending on how hungry you are or how you like your meat to bread ratio) on open roll. Place top on roll (like a sandwich) and ENJOY!

We added cheese to our sandwiches! :)
