Country Bob’s Slow Cooker Monday

Mom on the Run is staying active. I continued my quest to work out daily (no matter how small of a work out that it is) because I need to get back on track with my food and fitness goals. Taking an idea from Erica over at Itzy’s Kitchen, here is a shot of my heart rate monitor after my workout. I was trying to take a picture and they kept coming out cruddy. I did burn 266 cal/45% fat.

I decided to start back with the Couch to 5K running plan. I have always found success with running using this regime because it gets me motivated to work out.  Each session takes about 20 or 30 minutes, three times a week and includes both running and walking. My workout calendar until Christmas looks like this:

Monday: Couch to 5K

Tuesday: 30 Day Shred

Wednesday: Couch to 5K and Yoga

Thursday: Zumba

Friday: Couch to 5k

Saturday: Zumba

Sunday: Yoga or Spinning

I figured that if I wrote it down, I would stick with it :) Keep me honest blog friends.

For dinner tonight I decided to use a new slow cooker recipe that I found in my new The Original Country Bob’s Cookbook.

The most generous people over at Country Bob’s sent this cookbook a few weeks ago. My family loves the Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce.

It is great on burgers, chicken, steak, fish, and now this slow cooker dish. Everything in this cookbook looks amazing. I was looking for something quick and easy so I didn’t really have to cook when I got home.

Slow-Cooker Orange Honey Chicken

Pg:73

Ingredients:
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
½ cup of orange juice
½ cup of chicken broth

Place the vegetables on top of the chicken; do not stir.

Cook, covered, for 1 hour longer then serve with hot cooked rice.

This was a great quick fast recipe and it was pretty tasty. The broth was rich with flavor, most likely due to the Country Bob’s sauce. If you have not try Country Bob’s what are you waiting for, in fact if you have never tried this sauce Country Bob is kind enough to send you a coupon for free sample.

    I have heard such good things about Country Bob’s Sauce but I still haven’t tried it yet. Tsk tsk to me.

    This slow cooker recipe sounds delicious! Love the marinade/sauce.

    I find that writing things on the blog forces me to do them as well. It holds me accountable, to some extent.

    I love slow cooker recipes!! Hey…did the chicken get “dried out” at all in this recipe? Just wondering because often my chicken gets dried out in the slow cooker and I’ve read that it’s normal for it to do that…but I’d love to find a recipe where it doesn’t dry out!

  10. smmuconn says:

    I did not find that the chicken was dry because there was a ton of “sauce” that it was cooking in. I guess it depends on the recipe. I personally love doing a whole chicken in the Crock Pot. So tasty!

    Ola, great website you’ve got here. I must say that I enjoyed skimming through this piece. I noticed it today and soon found that it was enjoyable, so it led me to add a note. I think there will be others who probably think the same way about this matter. So, I’ll return soon when I make more time to look at more. This is strange, but I was just telling my friend regarding this topic, so this post was timely. I will favorite this site and find the rss as well. Thanks and see you later.
