I saw this recipe on Pinterest about a year ago, but wasn't sure about trying it because of the beer issue. Conventional beer has gluten. (sad face) Since I discovered a descent array of gluten-free beers at Total Wine, I've been experimenting in the kitchen with them. For this recipe, I used Bard's sorghum beer. The sauce it made was delicious! Serve over rice with a side of broccoli, and you've got an amazing meal with very little effort.
Ingredients:
1 bottle of your favorite gluten-free beer
1 pound (more or less) chicken tenders
1 Tblsp. organic extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1/2 tsp. salt
pepper to taste
1 tsp. dried oregano
Follow these directions carefully (wink):
1. Put chicken tenders in the bottom of a slow-cooker/crock pot.
2. Pour beer over the chicken.
3. Add pressed garlic.
4. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and oregano.
5. Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
I'm willing to admit that my kids weren't crazy about this. It was probably the beer. But my husband and I loved it. I'm thinking this would be a great recipe to try with a brisket. Let me know through your comments what combinations you try.
