Slow Cooker Cashew Chicken

This is one of the Hubby's absolute favorites lately so I thought i'd share!

What you will need:

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thigh tenders or chicken breast tenders*

1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp canola oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 Tbsp ketchup
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup cashews

Combine flour and pepper in large Ziploc bag. Add chicken. Shake to coat with flour mixture. Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken about 2 minutes on each side. Place chicken in slow cooker. Combine soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, sugar, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes in small bowl; pour over chicken. Cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours. Add cashews and stir. Serve over rice. Makes 4-6 servings.
If you want like sauce and want to have some to pour over the chicken and the rice, double the sauce ingredients.

Easy Peasy Chicken Alfredo!

This is one that my Husband actually used to make all the time while we were dating. Super Easy!

What you will need:

- 1 bottle store bought Alfredo sauce. We usually like Prego but Ragu works great too!

- 1 box FARFALLE noodles (also known as "bow tie" noodles.) Really you could use any noodles you prefer. We have used Penne noodles before.

- 1-2 chicken breasts or 1 can/bottle chicken. Shredded.

-Olive oil for cooking
-Chili powder
-seasoning salt
-pepper to taste

Boil noodles in a sauce pan on high for apron 15 mins or as directed according to type of noodles.

In a sauce pan heat chicken in olive oil (I usually just drizzle it over chicken.) I do this so the chicken doesn't dry out. You could also just use water.

Season chicken with seasoning salt, pepper, and chili powder. There is no trick or measurement for this. Just add and taste! :)

Once noodles are boiled, drain. Dump noodles back in the sauce pan and add seasoned chicken to noodles.

Add the bottle of Sauce to the seasoned chicken and noodles. Mix and Serve.

ENJOY! Sometimes we will make garlic bread to go along or buy the french bread from walmart or any local bakery.
