I missed my techno Tuesday, sorry about that. That is my life though, sometimes there are bumps in the road. I will catch up next week.
On to the spicy Kung Pao chicken cooking. I found this on Pinterest and it was a huge hit with my hubby and the oldest. Big T did not care for it. I may have spiced it up a wee to much. True to my routine I did not follow the recipe specifically. Here is the link if you want to check it out, www.thefrugalgirls.com
I will tell you what it originally called for and what I used instead.
It called for cooking your 4-6 chicken breast in the crock pot for 3 hours on high and then removing and draining the juice. I decided that was too much work. I boiled my chicken in 15 minutes and cut it up then put it in my crock pot. Next you mixed up pineapple preserves and Kung Pao sauce. I did not have pineapple preserves, I did have pineapple juice and some molasses. Yes, I subbed in the pineapple juice and molasses. I added 4 oz of pineapple juice and 2 tbsp of molasses to a bottle of the Kung Pao sauce and mixed it up. I poured that over my chicken cut up in the crock pot. The recipe called for red and green peppers to be chopped and added. I used some of our own hot peppers and I added them whole. I cooked my recipe on low for most of the day and then dropped it to warm. I served it over rice, it was very spicy and very good. It would clear out your sinuses quickly. This will go into the list to use again.
