STUPID CHICKEN RECIPE & WEIRD FACTS

Charles Dickens compulsively walked 12-20 miles per day.




Hotel Hackspett in Sweden is the smallest in the world, and climbing a rope ladder about 40 feet up is the only way to get there. The room may be tiny, but the price sure isn't at $400-$550 a night! For your money, you'll get a double bed, kitchenette, plenty of books for reading, a bathroom and a veranda. The lucky guests have food delivered via a pulley.


The Abraj Kudai located in Mecca, will cost about $3.6 billion dollars when it's finished in 2017, and will include 10,000 bedrooms, 70 restaurants, four helipads and a shopping mall. There will also be 5 floors reserved solely for the Saudi royal family, according to the Guardian. However, most people are unaware that if you're thinking of visiting to brag about staying in the world's largest hotel, don't even think about it, unless you are Muslim.  


Check this out! The King of Hearts is the only king without a moustache on a standard playing card. It's also a 1967 movie.
Until the nineteenth century, solid blocks of tea were used as money in Siberia!

Try this for yourself, and you'll see it's true! No piece of square dry paper can be be folded more than 7 times in half.


Now - on to the Stupid Chicken recipe. You won't believe how simple this is to make and it only uses 5 ingredients!. If you have plans and need to leave the house, this is the perfect recipe to just throw in the crockpot and go.  It gets its name because it's such an easy recipe, but the taste is really good.
Serves: 4
Cooking Time: 8 hr
Ingredients
  • 4 Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 (28-ounce) can Italian-seasoned or spicy diced tomatoes
  • 1 Envelope Herb and Garlic Recipe soup mix (Lipton or similar)
  • Hot Cooked Rice or Pasta
  • Parmesan Cheese, grated
Instructions
  1. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces. Mix chicken, tomatoes and soup mix together, then pour into your crockpot or slow cooker.
     
  2. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
     
  3. Serve over rice or bow tie pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
If you need to make this faster, cook it in an oven in an oven-browning bag for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

  1. OK, you got me curious, is the recipe stupid or the chicken, lol ? There are cabins in trees near where my boyfriend used to live and they're a lot cheaper than the smallest hotel - and easier to access ;) See : http://s6.cdn.sanomamedia.be/a/view/q75/w700/h700/1118838/la-clairiere-aux-cabanes.jpg (one even looks like Bilbo's home - not in the picture !)

    1. LOL! The actual recipe is called Stupid because it's so simple to make. Crazy, huh? Too bad those cabins aren't here in the states! (lol) I'm not sure I'd be willing to climb 40 feet just to get away from it all either. Thanks for the pics! Hugs....

  3. I've cooked chicken in the slow cooker several times and like it. But I now have a pressure cooker and love how fast that gets meat done. I can do an entire beef roast in about 45 minutes.

  9. I see a lot of Tree House shows on AnimalPlanet where people spend a fortune to make and live there, but a hotel?? That sounds like the hotel's insurance would have a field day, no wonder the price is so jacked. O.O Now is the recipe stupid because it's stupid easy, or because it was easy but tastes terrible? ;)

  10. Ironically, the actual name of the recipe is Stupid Chicken (lol). Supposedly because it's so simple to make, and there'e not much to do to prepare it. It was pretty good, thank goodness! I've seen Treehouse Master and those guys are awesome! Can you imagine living in a home like that? You've got a good point about the insurance. (lol) Never thought about that and makes sense. Hugs...Ro
