no fuss chicken
This is delicious served with rice. It's also very good if you add a can of drained pineapple chunks or rings for the last hour of cooking. To make it really pretty, add some drained maraschino cherries or drained mandarin oranges at the end. You can substitute whatever you like. Red peppers, yellow peppers, or green peppers look so pretty in it too. I prefer the sweet peppers but you could use hot if you prefer. That's what makes this recipe so easy. If you don't have one thing, substitute another. Get creative. That's what cooking is all about!

How To Make no fuss chicken
-
1Put the chicken in a Dutch oven or in a slow cooker with the chopped pepper and chopped onion.
-
2Mix together all the other ingredients and pour over the chicken, pepper, and onion. Mix it so everything has sauce on it.
-
3Put the lid on. In a slow cooker, put it at the lowest setting. If using a Dutch oven, use the lowest heat on the stovetop, or in the oven at 250. Cooking low and slow makes it so tender and flavorful. Cook 5-6 hours. In a Slow cooker, cook on low for 7-8 hours. The first time you make it, it's good to check and see how it's doing. You may need to shorten or lengthen the time needed, according to your appliance. Then note it on your recipe for the next time.
-
4If you choose to make this look "fancy," add a drained can of mandarin oranges, chunk or ring pineapples, or some maraschino cherries. I like to use all three if I have them on hand.
