Crazy Crock Pot Chicken

This sounds like such a weird combination but the flavor turns out great. There are quite a few variations of this recipe out there but this is the one I use most often.
Even my picky DH likes this one!

Ingredients:
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups salsa
1 tbs honey
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tbs ketchup
1/2 tbs mustard

Directions:
Place chicken in the crock pot.
In a small bowl mix the remaining ingredients and pour over the chicken.
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
Really good over rice or pasta.
Serve each breast with about 1/3 cup of sauce.

Kinda Thai Inspired Crock Pot Chicken

This is kind of Thai inspired in tastes hence the name.

3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs or a combination of the two
3/4 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy or a combination of the two)
1/2 cup orange marmalade
6 tbs soy sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tsp fresh grated ginger
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 to 1 cup water or chicken stock

In a small bowl heat the peanut butter so that it loosens up.
Then stir in the orange marmalade, soy sauce, black pepper, ginger, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder.
Once well incorporated stir in the warmed liquid to get a even looser consistency.
Place the chicken in the crock pot and pour the sauce over it.
Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours or until the chicken is cooked through.
If the sauce starts to get too thick add a little more liquid to thin it back down.
Serve chicken and sauce over rice, egg noodles, or angel hair pasta depending on your preference.
