Slow-Cooked Bloody Mary Chicken Breasts

Tweet

What did you do with the Bloody Mary mix you had left over after your last holiday party? Or that bottle you got at the office or neighborhood Pollyanna party when you don’t even drink? I think you’ll feel better after reading this that it doesn’t have to go to waste. My mother liked Bloody Mary's - I bought her some Spicy Tabasco mix a while back. But it had never been opened, so I didn’t want lose it. I went online and searched for non-alcoholic ways to use it. This is but one of several I found and the only one I’ve made so far. I used bone-in chicken breasts I bought. I thought the mild spiciness of the mix we have would give it just the right kick. I ended up adding a chopped onion and green pepper to the crockpot and we ate it over rice that I had cooked in chicken broth. Bloody Mary Chicken Breast Four boneless, skinless chicken breasts (mine were bone-in) One 750ml bottle Ben Jack Larado’s Bloody Mary Drink Mix (I used Tabasco Mildly Spicy mix) Place chicken in crock pot. Pour Bloody Mary mix over chicken. Cover; cook on low for 8 hours. Note: Thicken sauce by adding 2 Tbsp. cornstarch dissolved in ¼ cup water to crock pot 20 minutes before serving. This turned out to be excellent! The peppers and onions were just the right addition to the original recipe, but you can do without or be additionally creative with no problem. In my meal, the chicken fell off the bones and was easily shredded. I’m sure it would be more so with boneless chicken. This is an excellent way to use a product like this! Especially if someone gives it to you for Christmas and you don't even drink Bloody Mary's. In fact, I'm betting a spicy tomato juice blend would work just as well if you had it.
