Virgin Bourbon Street Crock Pot Chicken

Yay! Finally a crock pot recipe!!! Crock pots are probably the best invention EVER!! It makes cooking so easy, its almost impossible to mess it up. Today i'm posting for you a very tasty recipe known as Bourbon Street Chicken. It's a Chinese dish named after Bourbon Street in New Orleans because of its main ingredient, bourbon. Duhh! Well, my recipe does NOT contain bourbon, sorry :) That's why I named it "Virgin Bourbon Street Crock Pot Chicken." I also used a Trader Joe's trademarked item called "Soyaki" instead of soy sauce. I personally like this flavor so much more. But, if you don't feel like making a special trip to Trader Joe's and you just want to use soy sauce, that's totally going to be fine. 

Ingredients:

5-6 chicken breasts

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons ketchup

1 teaspoon minced ginger

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1/3 cup Soyaki

1/4 cup apple juice

1/2 water

Place chicken in crock pot
Mix all ingredients together and pour over chicken
Heat on high for 3-4 hours or low for 7-8 hours
Pull meat about and make shredded chicken
Ladle over brown rice or quinoa 

Serves about 6 people

NOTE: Recent studies have shown that apple cider vinegar is way more than something to add flavor to your favorite meal. According to MindBodyGreen experts, they say there are 10 benefits to this ingredient

1. Balances your inner ecosystem
2. Detoxes the body
3. Helps with weight loss
4. Cures allergies
5. Cures sinus infections, sore throat, flu and headaches
6. Clears acne, warts, other skin problems
7. Lowers high cholesterol and high blood pressure
8. Kills candida and fungus and populates the gut with friendly micoflava
9. Eases arthritis and stiff joints
10.Strengthen stomach acid 

However, there is no proven evidence that this will work for everyone. But if you want to try it, you can mix 2 teaspoons with water and drink daily. See what happens? I might try it for my headaches.
