Just a Tid-Bit

You will probably not see ANY fish (or sea food for that matter) recipes from Candi and won't see any beef recipes from Crystal.  Although maybe one day maybe we will cook our forbidden meals for our husbands since they both like the meat we won't cook, but until then we will let Crystal take care of all of the seafood and let Candi take care of the beef.

Creamy Crock Pot Chicken


From the freezer, to the crock pot, to the plate with ease.   This dinner was simple and delicious!!

Ingredients:
  • 5-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (frozen; if you don't use frozen you may want to reduce the cooking time in the first step or add more dressing, so that it doesn't dry out)
  • Double batch of Good Seasonings Italian Dressing (or 1 bottle pre-made Italian Dressing)
  • 1 8oz. package of cream cheese-I used reduced fat
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup-I used Campbell's Healthy Choice
  • 1 can chicken broth-I used Swanson's Natural Goodness~100% fat free, 33% less sodium
  • 1 teaspoon Basil
  • 1 teaspoon Parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:
  1. Place frozen chicken and Italian Dressing in crock pot on low, cook for 6-8 hours
  2. Pull chicken out and drain remaining dressing/juices, set chicken aside
  3. In empty crock pot combine remaining ingredients and whisk together until creamy, turn crock pot up to high 
  4. Shred or chunk chicken-Mine pretty much fell apart
  5. Put chicken in crock pot with sauce and leave on high for 45 minutes to an hour
Serve over egg noodles, other pasta, or rice.  We used egg noodles and it was very very yummy!! Dustin, Taylor & I all loved it.  It was a quite meal because everyone was too busy eating to talk.  

By using The reduced fat cream cheese, Healthy Request Soup and Natural Goodness Broth this was a very healthy meal too.  I could have even used fat free Italian dressing if I had used pre-made dressing.  You can feel good about serving this to your family! (and eating it too)
