Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken

Slow Cooker Garlic and Brown Sugar Chicken
Ingredients:
4-6 chicken breasts (or thighs would work great too!)
1 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup vinegar
1/4 cup lemon-lime soda
2-3 Tablespoons minced garlic
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 Tablespoons corn starch
2 Tablespoons water
Rice or noodles, cooked
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions:
Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken (I used frozen chicken, thawed chicken works great too) inside slow cooker. Mix together brown sugar, vinegar, soda, garlic, soy sauce, and pepper together. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours. Take chicken pieces out of slow cooker (mine basically fell apart) and pour remaining sauce into saucepan. Place saucepan over high heat. Mix together corn starch and water, pour into saucepan, and mix well. Let sauce come to a boil and boil for 2-3 minutes, or until it starts to thicken and turns into a glaze. Remove from heat and let sit for a minute or two (it will continue to thicken as it cools down).
Serve chicken over rice or noodles and top with glaze. Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top if desired.

SWISS ZUCCHINI QUICHE    

1½ cups zucchini (1/8 inch thick slices)
¼  pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1  small onion, chopped      
3  eggs, beaten
½  cup evaporated skim milk
¼  cup water
½  teaspoon salt
¼  teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup (3 oz.) shredded Swiss cheese
1  un-baked pastry shell

Cook zucchini in a small amount of unsalted boiling water for 3 minutes.  Drain to remove excess water.  Melt margarine or use oil to cover the bottom of a small skillet and saute mushrooms and onion over low heat until vegetables are tender but not brown. Combine eggs, milk, water, salt and pepper.  Mix well.  Add zucchini slices, mushroom mixture, and ½ cup cheese.  Top with the remaining cheese.  Bake at 375̊ for 40 minutes or until set.  (You can add cooked bacon or ham).

I did not put zucchini in these freezer quiche, I didn't think it would freeze well. But I did put Black forest Ham in them. It is best if you could thaw these in the refrigerator over night, then Bake as directed. (Make sure they are thawed all the way).
