Soy Garlic Chicken with Snow Peas

Soy Garlic Chicken:

8 oz can of tomato sauce
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 t. minced garlic*
6 chicken legs**

Place chicken in slow cooker. Mix together tomato sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar and garlic. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 4 to 5 hours.

*I used the minced garlic that you buy in the spice aisle. It looks like sesame seeds when the recipe is done but doesn't add any extra texture.

** The recipe called for 6 legs, I used 5 chicken thighs. You might be able to use breasts, but I worry they would dry out.

Snow Peas:

I heated 1 T of roasted garlic oil on medium high in a skillet. Once the oil was shimmering I added one shallot sliced thin. Once the shallot had caramelized, I added 1/2 pound of snow peas. I tossed continuously until they were soft; about five minutes. I then added a generous sprinkle of kosher salt and a less generous sprinkle of red pepper flakes. My husband said they were delicious. This was a huge compliment because apparently he does not like snow peas.

Fresh Strawberry Pie



I replaced the cup of sugar with 1/2 c. of splenda sugar blend. It was soooo good! I also topped it with some cool whip.
