Chicken in a Crock Pot

Chicken in a Crock Pot – simple

Gather the following ingredients:

Chicken breasts 3 – 6
2 Peppers – green, red, yellow, etc.
Bacon

Crock Pot
Pan

Optional:

Rice

Place the chicken breasts into the Crock Pot.

Cut the peppers into strips like you would for fajitas.  Remove the seeds, and stem, and the ribs.  Place the peppers into the Crock Pot.

Cook the bacon.  Sometime within the first 3 hours of cooking free up some bacon.  Cut the bacon into one inch sections.  Separate the sections and place them into the pan.  Cook on a medium heat for 10 minutes.  Add the bacon to the Crock Pot.  *I have made this without the bacon.  It isn’t as good.

Cook on low for 5 – 7 hours or until the chicken starts to fall apart.

This chicken is really good served over rice with the peppers and the bacon.

Eye of the Beholder – DVD

Eye of the Beholder, 1999

Ashley Judd and Ewan McGregor in a story about a little girl who lost her father and a father searching for his little girl.  Ok, I think Ewan is playing the part of a spy and he is tracking the very lovely and dangerous Joanna Eris.

Joanna’s life is incredible.  I would call her unstable.  Her life is at best insane and always changing.  It is a great movie and an interesting love story or sorts.

5/5 for this little flick.  This is an intense action thriller.  You will be on the edge of your seat.  It is a shocking film.

Serve with sour cream if desired.
This also makes a great dip for tortilla chips.
