Summertime is here in Florida so that means I like to grill or use my crockpot so that the house doesn’t heat up a lot while I’m preparing dinner. Crockpot meals are great for busy days too because I can throw everything in and let it cook. Today’s recipe for Crockpot Sticky Chicken wasn’t on my Recipes I want to Try Pinterest board very long.
I am truly a beef lover but with meat prices soaring and beef is just crazy right now so I am looking for more chicken recipes to keep us going through the summer. Today’s recipe is easy and delicious and would be great served over egg noodles or rice.

We all enjoyed this recipe. I liked the sweetness the preserves added to the barbecue sauce. It was good over the egg noodles. I’ve never thought about cooking with preserves before but stay tuned…I have another recipe with preserves coming up soon!

Chicken, chicken, chicken has taken over from hamburg, hamburg, hamburg. It is so nice to find easy and different recipes for chicken now a days!!
Thanks this should be easy and free from oven heat too.
That is an easy dish to make and it sounds really good. I know my kids love it when I make meatballs this way. That’s clever to use it with chicken too.
Also, I totally agree with you about the prices of meat. It’s getting CRAZY. Of course, to me the cost of groceries is down right crazy period.![My Profile](https://themommaven.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv-premium/images/littleheart.gif)

Thank you for linking up to Creative K Kid’s Tasty Tuesdays. I have pinned your post to the Tasty Tuesdays Pinterest Board. I’ve wanted to try sticky chicken and now I can.
This looks yummy! I have found the same thing about beef. I went to the store to get a beef roast this week. I left without it. Who can afford to spend $30 on a 5 lbs roast?????
This was fantastic! The only preserves I had on hand was peach jalapeno. My husband said “You can make that everyday”. He thought it was the best thing I have ever made.
Thanks for the recipe.
Ooo, peach jalapeno sounds interesting! I need to find some of that!
