Lemonade Chicken

6 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
3/4 cup lemonade concentrate
3 tbs ketchup
2 tbs brown sugar
1 tbs cider vinegar
2 tbs cornstarch
2 tbs cold water

Place chicken in crock pot.  Mix next 4 ingredients and pour over chicken.  Cook on high for about 2 1/2-3 hours or until chicken is fully cooked.  Take chicken out of crock pot and place in oven to keep warm then mix last 2 ingredients.  Then pour into remaining ingredients cover and heat through.  Let cook for about 30 minutes or until thickened.  Put chicken back in and heat through.

I used the thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts and it was perfect for the kids because it cooked evenly and wasn't thick big pieces.
Yummy especially with rice and broccoli.

Soup

I love this soup here is the recipe from this http://www.melskitchencafe.com/ blog.

White bean chili

pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon oil
2 cans (15 1/2 ounces each) Great Northern Beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) chicken broth
2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies (if you like less kick, add just one can)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whipping cream
Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

In a large saucepan, saute chicken, onion and garlic powder (or fresh garlic, if using) in oil until chicken is no longer pink. Add beans, broth, chilies and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream and cream. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately. This is especially good served with tortilla chips.
