Nope. Didn’t turn out at all like the pic shows. Disappointment all around soupy and mushy.

Followed this thread! Will be trying the recipe tomorrow. Husband accidentally bought buttermilk instead of regular milk for my 3 year old lol
Didn’t wanting the buttermilk to go waste!


Great read, thank you!

Love from California!

Hello! Marinated boneless, skinless breasts overnight and put it all in the crockpot on low the next morning. It was amazingly tender after 6 hrs. As we ended up not eating as early as I thought we would I put them in a lightly greased casserole, stirred some shredded cheddar and mozzarella in to the remaining sauce, then poured it over the chicken. I put it in a 250 deg oven until we were ready to eat. Omg absolutely delicious, thank you! We had the sauce over rice and the chicken had a light coating of sauce and cheese. It was amazing. Will definitely make this again. Thank you for sharing!

Almost a year ago I asked about the leftover liquid. Well, I had frozen a couple of little baggies (approx. 1 cup ea). I took out the last one yesterday and threw it in the pan I was doing some thighs and legs in. Along with some pan vegies and some leftover rice on the side - it was delish! Had half last night and the other half, this time with glass noodles for lunch today. Yummy.

The chicken is flavorless and dry. So disappointed because the pictures look good but the real thing is not.

Did you make this recipe?

Thanks for rating!
