Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1/3 cup apricot jam or apple butter
  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup white wine, (or use chicken broth)
  • 1 tsp. dried tarragon
  • 1 tsp. paprika

    Slow Cooker directions:  Combine the jam or apple butter, mustard, maple syrup or honey, wine or broth, tarragon and paprika in a microwave safe bowl or sauce pan.  Heat gently over medium heat until thoroughly mixed or in the microwave for 1 minute.  Meanwhile cut the chicken breasts in half crosswise (the short way) to make them each 2 pieces.  Combine the raw chicken and 1/2 of the sauce mixture in the bowl and stir gently to coat.  Place the coated chicken in the bottom of a crock pot in a single layer.  Save the remaining sauce for serving.  Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours.  Heat the remaining sauce and serve on the side as a dipping sauce.  (Four to five hours will yield best results for the chicken, however you can go over.)

    When two people decide to get a divorce, it isn’t a sign that they "don’t understand" one another, but a sign that they have, at last, begun to.

    3. Which do you prefer..wordy blog posts or ones with pictures?

    I like a mix of both.. but if I had to pick one it would be pictures

    My Little Life

    Questions for Friday, 3/12: (Thanks to Erica, Erin, Renee,Pam, and me (I’m dying to know the bed making thing…) for their question suggestions! Wanna be linked in a future 5QF? Mosey on over here, to my community, and offer up your best questions!)

    1. How much time do you spend on the computer a day?

    I would say between school, school work, Blogging and Playing I spend about 4 hours a day average.  Now Monday for 7 hours I am in school on the computer, and Wednesday its almost 4 hours…

    2. Will you pay for your children’s college or raise them to pay for their own way?

    I hope to have most of both kids college paid for, I know how wonderful it feels to complete a 4 year degree and walk away with no loans… starting my life out at ground 0 instead of already behind the 8 ball.  Especially in the economy right  now, how many new college grads just can not find jobs. I want my kids to love what they do, to give them that freedom to by pass working at McDonalds(unless that is their wish) so that they can wait just a bit longer to land their dream job.  Now for my 2 a lot of that $$ will end up coming from grandparents, and hopefully scholarships.

    3. Have you ever been in a car accident?

    New Years Eve 1995 when Matt was 1.5 months old our car was totaled…. thankfully no injuries but I worried about Matt since he was still getting over a cracked skull…….

    4. What is your favorite book?

    just 1 I don’t have just 1… now I could narrow it down to 1 series.. The Magic of Recluse by L.E. Modesiit Jr…… that’s as close to 1 as I can get

    5. Do you make your bed everyday?

    Uh no… hey I consider it a good thing that I get up every day….
