Maple-Mustard Chicken with Carrots and Brussels Sprouts
I love the combination of maple and mustard: sweet playing off of tangy. But the carrots and Brussels sprouts nearly stole the show, because the sauce created in the cooker was the perfect complement to the vegetables. Prep time 15 minutes Serves 6 1 pound (455 g)...
Island Balsamic BBQ Shredded Chicken

Caramelized Onion Dip
It’s hard to describe how much I love this dip. Make sure to include the nutritional yeast, which gives the dip the cheesy flavor you’d normally get by adding cheese or cream cheese to a creamy dip recipe. Sprinkling some crispy bacon bits on top wouldn’t be a bad...
