Creamed Corn and fake-BBQ chicken



If the title confuses you, that's ok :) I don't quite know what to call a recipe for BBQ chicken that I altered to have a completely unique flavor! So I guess I'll call it fake-BBQ chicken. I have no idea what flavor it really became, but I do know that it was good. I also made a side of creamed corn. It wasn't exactly creamed corn since whole kernels of corn were the main part of it, however, it would be easy to alter this recipe by blending the corn in the food processor or blender prior to serving. Both dishes made a delicious meal and honestly a quick meal too. The corn was made in the crockpot and I prepared the chicken earlier in the day so it just needed to be in the oven for a little over an hour prior to serving. I love meals that taste good and don't require hours of labor in the kitchen! Enjoy :)

P.S. For those of us who lack a self timer on our crock-pots, you can easily set the crock-pot using a "Christmas Light" timer for $5 at Home Depot. That way while you're out of the house, your meal can still cook for the appropriate time-frame!
