Browsing Recipes - Chicken Bratwurst

Chicken Bratwurst

Is your regular meal menu lacking variety?  Whenever I feel this way I get in the "browsing recipe" mode.

One of my favorite things to do during my free time is browse recipes.  I love to try out new recipes on the family hoping to add to the family favorites.  I like a variety in my diet.  Not only do I enjoy looking at new recipes but an added benefit for me I find it very relaxing.  Goodness knows regular life can bring plenty of stress.  This is also a great way for me to unwind.  It's a win, win situation.  I get to do something I love and feel relaxed at the same time.

When looking for new recipes sometimes I am looking for something in particular like a new way to cook chicken or something different to try out on the grill.

Here is a recipe I found in Better Homes and Garden.
Chicken Bratwurst and Onions with Broccoli Slaw SaladIngredients

• 3large onions (about 1 1/2 pounds), sliced 1/2 inch thick
• 1/2cup apple cider or apple juice
• 2cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
• 1/4teaspoon ground black pepper
• 8cooked smoked chicken or turkey bratwurst
• 1/4cup buttermilk
• 2tablespoons snipped fresh parsley
• 1tablespoon light mayonnaise
• 1/4teaspoon caraway seeds, crushed
• Dash cayenne pepper
• 2cups packaged shredded broccoli (broccoli slaw mix)
• 8reduced-calorie whole grain frankfurter buns, split and toasted

Directions

1. In a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker combine onions, apple cider, garlic, thyme, and black pepper. Arrange bratwurst on top of onion mixture. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours or on high-heat setting for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
2. Meanwhile, for broccoli slaw, in a medium bowl combine buttermilk, parsley, mayonnaise, caraway seeds, and cayenne pepper. Stir in broccoli slaw mix. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
3. Remove bratwurst from cooker. Using a slotted spoon, remove onions, draining well. 

This recipe calls for cooking it in your slow cooker but with the warmer weather out and people doing grilling I think grilled brats are great as well.
