Is the summer over yet?

It's super hot outside, I know.

Back to School craziness is in full swing, I know.

It's a busy time of year.

BUT! It's FRIDAY --- and that means, you've got something to celebrate!!

:-)

Tonight, let's have a Take Out Fake Out classic---

you deserve it.

Chinese Lemon Chicken.

(Click the link above to see the full recipe with photo.)

The Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast pieces or equivalent
1/2 cup flour (I used Pamela's baking mix because we are gf)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
6 ounces(1/2 can) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons ketchup
1/2 tablespoon or so olive oil for browning chicken.

The Directions:

--cut chicken into strips or largish chunks

--dredge in flour and salt, shake off excess

--brown chicken in a skillet with a bit of olive oil (you are not trying to cook the chicken--just give it some color and get the flour mixture to stick a bit)

--place into crockpot -- a 4-quart is probably the best size or put a piece of corningware or pyrex into a large slow cooker so your chicken doesn't get lost in such a big pot.

--mix the rest of the ingredients in a separate bowl and pour over the top of chicken pieces

--cover and cook on high for 4 hours, low for 6-8

Serve over rice, drizzle with remaining sauce.

This tastes amazing all on it's own, but next time I might add a bit of red pepper flakes to the grown-up portions for a bit of a kick.

Not in the mood for chicken? No worries.

I've put together a list of the top 35 Take Out Fake Out recipes you can find on the website.

ENJOY YOUR DAY. ENJOY YOUR FAMILY.
enjoy the final dregs of summer,

and:

Happy slow cooking!!!!!
