Buffalo Bleu Crockpot Meal

On Saturday I purchased three seasoning packs from Sugar Spice and Everything Nice: Buffalo Bleu, Cracked Crab and Habanero & Green Chile. On the back of each label is a recipe for making a Dip but I decided to use the Buffalo Bleu as a seasoning for a crockpot meal.

Spray Crockpot with cooking spray or use a Slow Cooker liner for easy clean up

Mixed seasoning with 1 cup water – could have used less but didn’t want dry chicken

Chicken and rice was served with a small salad and was delicious.  The seasoning did not make the chicken overly spicy nor salty as I expected, I used drippings over rice.  My men and I thoroughly enjoyed this dish and am looking forward to using the Habanero & Chile seasoning as a dip.

Paired extremely well with a glass (or two) of Liberty Creek Sweet Red Wine !
