Sweet and Spicy Tomato Dump Chicken - OAMC

"This is a variation of the fabulous Recipe #107570. My boys like their food a bit on the tame side. Makes 4 bags. Tip: I remove the skin from all the chicken at once. I wear disposable plastic gloves and grab the skin with a paper towel. It is much easier to pull off and the gloves keep your hands from freezing."

  1. Hubby and I did not enjoy this at all. I marinated the chicken all day in the sauce and the chicken was tasteless. I also browned the chicken first so it would look more appetizing. Will not make this again.
     
  2. Fantastic recipe! Thanks for the idea of changing the salsa for tinned tomatoes - it makes it much more child-friendly. I cooked the dish immediately and used pork chops instead of chicken (I didn't even brown them first) and they turned out just great. Looking forward to trying it in the crockpot with chicken - many thanks!
