Pacific Chicken ...turned Shredded BBQ Chicken Sadwiches

So sorry for the late entry! The internet isn't working at my house :( We lost power for quite sometime yesterday! ...which is also why my Pacific Chicken recipe didn't turn out so well (or at least that's what I'm blaming it on!) I was, however, able to salvage it and turn it into a yummy meal! I'm getting good at this re-vamping stuff.  I'll post both the recipe and my additions later tonight (hopefully!) as long as the internet is back up and running! Stay tuned!

I finally got the internet to work! I'm home sick from work today.  Stinks because I'm not feeling well, but it'll give me a minute to catch up with this blog! 

So, honestly, the Pacific Chicken was (would've been) a disaster!  The power outage turned off my crock pot for hours! Luckily, my Dad remembered it was on and was able to turn it back on once we had power again.  When I got home it didn't look very appetizing.  It was definitely cooked, and it smelled wonderful, but I was afraid it would be too dry since everything had sank to the bottom of the crockpot during the in-between time... So, I decide to alter the meal a bit.

I shredded the chicken using 2 forks, gently pulling it apart in the crock.  Then I tossed it around in the juices at the bottom.  Then I added 1/2 a bottle of Jack Daniels BBQ sauce, which we had in the fridge and stirred it all around.  I changed the setting to warm and let it sit for about an hour until we were ready to eat dinner.  I served the shredded BBQ Chicken on hamburger rolls and heated up the leftover soup from the night before.  Wasn't a bad meal, after all! The chicken was really yummy, and you could definitely taste the soy sauce and ginger.  I bet it would've been absolutely delicious Pacific Chicken had the power not failed me! Oh well, a recipe for another day!

I'll post the recipe here, just in case anyone else wants to try it (the correct way).

Recipe recap:

Pacific Chicken 

from Fix-It and Forget-It 5-ingredient slow-cooker recipes magazine (2010)

Makes 6 Servings

3- to 4-quart slow cooker

• 6 to 8 skinless chicken thighs
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp. brown sugar
• 2 tbsp. grated fresh gingerroot
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Wash and dry chicken, place in slow cooker.
Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl.  Pour over chicken.
Cover and cook on high for 1 hour.  Reduce heat to low and cook 6 to 7 hours.
Serve over cooked rice, with a fresh side salad.

...or if it comes out terribly wrong, shred chicken, add 1/2 a bottle of BBQ sauce and serve on hamburger buns with a bowl of soup--   :)

I have a feeling JD would not have liked the original recipe, but he would've loved the hot mess I was able to throw together! 

Verdict: Tabled until another attempt is made...
