Crockpot Italian Chicken in Cream Sauce

This is absolutely delicious, I served it with mashed potatoes and corn. However it would go great with any side dish.

Here is the official recipe:

6 skinless boneless chicken breasts
1/4C melted butter
1 .7oz pkg italian salad dressing mix
1 10 3/4oz cream of mushroom soup
1/2c dry white wine (or apple juice)
1/2 of 8oz tub chive onion cream cheese

Put chicken in crockery pot
Melt butter add italian dressing
Mix in rest
Pour over chicken
Cook low 4-5hrs


When I made it first I doubled the recipe, and I used chicken tenders instead of chicken breasts.
For the amount of meat I needed it was actually cheaper, and gave better portion sizes for children.

Now when I make this again (because I will make it again) I will leave out the apple juice (or white wine) so the sauce will be thicker, as it was a tad runny. I also used cream of celery soup, simply because I wanted to.
I also found that cooking it on low, the time needed to be longer for my crockpot and for the amount of food I had in there.

Hope you enjoy :0)

Crockpot Lasagna

This is so good you'll want to climb into it! It's super easy only set back is cleaning out the crockpot after, but hey it helps burn those calories. If you don't want to scrub it clean try those handy crockpot liners.

I usually double this recipe since its so good and leftovers are great for lunches or  easy dinner.
This will feed 4-6 people.

Ingredients:
Ground beef, as much or little as you like (optional)
28oz of spaghetti sauce (homemade or canned)
6oz tomato paste
12oz ricotta or cottage cheese
1/2C grated parmesan or asiago cheese
12oz lasagna noodles
16oz grated mozzarella cheese

Method:
- brown beef (drain if necessary), add tomato sauce, paste and season to your liking
-if using a crockpot liner now is the time to put it in your crockpot
-spoon layer of sauce onto the bottom of the crockpot
-add double layer of uncooked lasagna noodles top with cheese
-add some sauce, than cheese and noodles repeat till all ingredients are used
-cover and cook on high 4-5hrs or on low 8-10hrs
