2 large chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise

1 tablespoon capers

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh garlic

1-2 tablespoons crispy finely chopped...

They’re delicious stuffed with almost anything and can be served as a side dish, a main dish, or even as dessert.

GRILL ON THE BBQ

For my birthday we headed to the local pub in Big Bear Lake called Murray’s Saloon & Eatery. Two guys were at the table next to use so we started chatting. They swore by the food menu. James ordered Ahi Tuna which was amazing and I ordered bacon wrapped shrimp. I put a reminder in my phone to recreate those bacon wrapped shrimp as soon as I got home. I bought the largest sh...

I used to work at Outback Steakhouse and guests would always order the Alice Springs Chicken. “Grilled chicken breast and bacon smothered in mushrooms, melted Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses, with honey mustard sauce.” This never appealed to me but marrying a man who loves chicken and bacon, I knew he would enjoy this dish.

March 11, 2013 Posted in Bacon, Crock Pot, Dinner, Pasta, Side Dishes

While I was getting my hair done by wonderful Allison, we got talking about food and she mentioned a recipe she heard of by Trisha Yearwood that you could make in the crock pot. She was wondering if that was even possible, so I volunteered to find the recipe and attempt it to see if it was worth anything. AND IT WAS! Very tasting and beyond easy.

Ingredients:

Cooking spray
