Well tonight was my first attempt at a real frugal dinner. In my crockpot I put three boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 3 cups of water, 2 chicken bullion cubes, a few dashes of pepper, a few dashes of onion powder, and a few dashes of Italian seasoning, finally I added a heaping teaspoon of heart healthy butter. I turned it on at about 7:45am, and I had my husband stir it a little when he went to work around noon. I had to go grocery shopping this afternoon. I have a great crockpot that you set for the number of hours you want it to cook, and then it goes on a keep warm setting. When I finally got to eat supper at 7, the chicken was so juicy and tender that it was falling apart. I had a small can of spinach and two slices of loaf bread. Had a bottle of Sam's Choice water, and that was my supper. Going to take the second piece for lunch tomorrow. My dh will get the third piece. I'm saving the leftover juice for another day. I've got 3 chicken breasts left, and tomorrow I think I'm going to try some BBQ sauce on it. This was some chicken I had gotten a long time ago, and it had been just sitting in my freezer.
