This recipe is excellent.  Another "Freezer to Slow Cooker Meal" that wins - hands down!  This reminded me of a chicken dish we had at a great local restaurant a few years back...They called it 'Asian Barbecue Chicken'.  There are a few ways you can serve this dish.  One way is to leave the chicken breast meat whole and thicken the sauce near the end of cook time and serve on the side with the whole pieces of chicken, or you can shred the chicken near the end of cook time, and return the chicken to the sauce that is in the slow cooker (with or without thickening that sauce upon serving)  It's great any way you prefer!!   In this recipe, you get the sweetness from the honey and depth of flavor from the blackberry jam with a little kick of heat from the sweet chili garlic sauce...the key really is in the 'sauce'...I can't wait to make this using chicken wings next!  ~Enjoy!

I love fried fish but, wanted a recipe I could make at home that was lower in fat and didn't involve a oil fryer.  I came across this oven-baked recipe, which turned out beautifully.  I used fresh cod fillets and served with a side salad and vegetable.  The fish was perfect as baked.  and stands nicely 'on its own' meaning, it did not need any sauce or lemon. ~Enjoy!

Place milk in a shallow dish, Place flour in a separate shallow dish. In a third shallow dish combine bread crumbs, cheese, dill, salt & pepper; add in melted butter, and stir crumb mixture until well combined.
Dip fish in milk, coat with flour, dip again in milk and then into crumb mix to coat all sides.
Place fish on a greased baking sheet.
Bake, uncovered for 5 to 9 minutes or until fish begins to flake when tested with a fork.
