Hey Heather,

For the bourbon marinade:
we used a pork tenderloin and used (everything is approximate!)
1/2 cup bourbon (we used Jack Daniels... is that even bourbon???)
several drops of wosteschire
1 tbs brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic from the jar in the fridge
salt and pepper (a shake here and there)

dh mixed everything together in a zip lock bag, put the pork tender in and marinated overnight. I cooked at 425 for 30 minutes. It was SOOO good!!

The slow cooker chicken is from Sandra Lee's Semi-Homade cookbook.
Here's the rec:
Chicken With White Wine Sauce:

24 pearl onions (I used a small onion, diced)
8 oz sliced mushrooms
4 strips thick sliced bacon (I didn't use)
4 pounds meaty chicken pieces (I used about 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken)
1 can cream of chick soup
1 cup dry white wine
2 tsp italian seasoning
2 tsp bottled minced garlic
==========================
add onions and sliced mishrooms to a 4-5 quart slow cooker

in a large skillet, fry bacon until crisy Reserve bacon for garnish. Discard all but 2 TBS of bacon fat. Season cut up chicken pieces with salt and pepper .. Over medium heat, brown the chicken pieces on all sides in the bacon fat. (again, I didn't use bacon, I just used some salt and pep on the chick breasts and browned them in some olive oil). Place browned chicken into the slow cooker on top of the onions a and mushrooms.

in a bowl, stir together the soup, wine, italian seasoning,and garlic. pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 8 hrs or high for 4 hrs.

**I sort of broke up the chicken pieces into chunks and served over penne pasta with some parm on top. REally good!!
