4 chicken breasts
3/4 cup BBQ sauce
3/4 cup Sweet Orange Marmalade
2 TBSP Soy Sauce
Cut 3-4 chicken breasts into bite sized pieces and cook them in the cock pot on low for 2 hours.
While the chicken is cooking, mix together BBQ sauce, Marmalade and Soy Sauce until well blended.
After 2 hours drain the chicken juices from the crock pot and pour the sauce mixture in the crock pot with the chicken. Cook on low for an additional 2 hours (you may need to add more time if the chicken is not cooked through). The sauce thickens as it cools.
Serve with rice and broccoli on the side.

Happy President’s Day!!! I hope you are enjoying this long weekend. Today’s book club choice is one rich in American History. It is The Hamilton Affair, by Elizabeth Cobbs. With all the hype of Hamilton of Broadway, I really wanted to read more about the love story between Alexander and Elizabeth. This New York Times best seller can be summarized below:
Set against the dramatic backdrop of the American Revolution, and featuring a cast of legendary characters, The Hamilton Affair tells the sweeping, tumultuous, true story of Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler, from passionate and tender beginnings to his fateful duel on the banks of the Hudson River.
Hamilton was a bastard and orphan, raised in the Caribbean and desperate for legitimacy, who became one of the American Revolution’s most dashing—and improbable—heroes. Admired by George Washington, scorned by Thomas Jefferson, Hamilton was a lightning rod: the most controversial leader of the new nation. Elizabeth was the wealthy, beautiful, adventurous daughter of the respectable Schuyler clan—and a pioneering advocate for women. Together, the unlikely couple braved the dangers of war, the perils of seduction, the anguish of infidelity, and the scourge of partisanship that menaced their family and the country itself.
With brilliantly drawn characters and an epic scope, The Hamilton Affair tells a story of love forged in revolution and tested by the bitter strife of young America. REVIEW AMAZON.COM
