I spotted and picked up a jar of Trader Joe’s Many Clove Garlic Cooking & Simmer Sauce what
felt like many moons ago. I’m a huge fan of garlic, so I immediately wanted to
give this a try. So I purchased it ... and then was puzzled as to what to do
with it. Since I had never tried it before, I wasn’t sure of how intensely
garlic it would be.
After seeing it in the cabinet time after time, I decided to
give it a go … and I went about it in the “safest” way possible. I used my
crock pot! I took a pack of chicken
(roughly 1 ½ - 2 pounds) out of the freezer, let it defrost and cleaned the fat
off it. I put the chicken into the crock pot, covered it with the jar of sauce,
put a lid on my crock pot and set it on high. I let it cook for 6 ½ hours and
it came out perfectly.
I served it up with baked potato, green beans and I happened
to have a side of beets with my dinner. It was perfect – the sauce on the
chicken was delicious! The chicken was moist and the garlic flavor was perfect.
A plus side too with this is that even though it was cooking in my crock pot,
it did not make my entire house smell like a field of garlic or like I was
trying to ward off vampires.
On my last trip through Trader Joe’s I did pick another jar
of this sauce up. I plan on trying a pasta dish with it … and I have a feeling
it’ll come out fabulously.
A ½ cup serving of the sauce is 70 calories or 2 points plus
values.
