Cheesy Chicken Tater Tot Casserole

When our neighbor came over to supper on Friday, I couldn't decide which recipe to make, so I made two different crockpot recipes.  This is the other recipe I used, again from The Country Cook.  For dessert we had Frosty Strawberry Squares, mom's chocolate chip pumpkin bread I found in the freezer and Logan made peanut butter cups.  This recipe was pretty good, though Thelma thought it would taste even better with diluted cream of mushroom soup, rather than just milk poured over it.

Asian Chicken

Last Friday we invited our neighbor over for dinner.  I tried a new recipe from The Country Cook blog.  Yeah, I may become addicted to this blog.  So many recipes looked very tasty.  Bryce and I and Mrs. Lee liked this Asian Chicken.  I did it in the slow cooker, though the blog author says she sometimes marinates the chicken and grills it.

Note:  This link does not go to the same recipe anymore.  Ugh!!  The recipe I made did not use pre-made popcorn chicken.  Oh well.  Life does go on.

I found the recipe I printed out eons ago.  Here it is and I'll make some notes of what I've done.

1 (8 oz) jar Hoisin sauce

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 Tbsp Dijon mustard

2 Tbsp lemon juice

2 Tbsp sesame oil

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into cubes

diced green onions (for serving)

Spray your slow cooker with cooking spray or use a liner.  In a medium bowl (or glass measuring cup), mix together the first 6 ingredients.  Whisk together well.

Mix diced chicken and sauce together in the slow cooker.  Cover and cook on low for about 4 hours.

Serve cooked chicken over rice & pour a bit of sauce over the chicken.  Sprinkle with a bit of diced green onion.

Notes:  

1. I've also tried this in the pressure cooker.  I cooked it on high pressure for 5 minutes.  I also decided there was enough sauce that we could have doubled the chicken for this amount of sauce.
2. Last weekend we tried this sauce as a marinade and then Jesse grilled the chicken.  He did an awesome cooking job and it was very tasty!  Teresa had a purchased teriyaki sauce that we squirted on our rice.  The sauce marinaded enough chicken to serve 9 adults, with a little piece of chicken left over.
