My day started at 7:30 with a phone call from my husband telling me I had left my wallet in his truck. He found it when he was on his way to work and was far enough away that I couldn't just load up and go pick it up. Which meant no trip to the grocery store until he got home. Which meant I lost the necessary prep time for the recipe I had planned. Which meant I needed to come up with something quick based off what was in my freezer and pantry. Remember the above comment about needing a trip to the grocery store? I didn't have many options.
I was also dealing with the Great Diaper Blow-out of 2012. I thought I survived the worst after the blow-out from last week. I was wrong. Very very wrong. My brain was scattered.
Then I remembered my recipe for BBQ Beef, and I wondered about trying it with chicken breast. And then I smacked my palm on my forehead for not thinking of this sooner. And then I threw everything in the crock-pot, turned it on low heat, congratulated myself on my brilliance, and walked away.
Without plugging it in.
Yes, I did.
Luckily, I noticed it before long so dinner was ready on schedule, and it tasted like sweet, smoky BBQ sauce and success. Serve this with some fresh corn on the cob and a tossed green salad.
Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 1/2 cups ketchup
