Creamy Italian Chicken

I love to try new recipes that one reason why I am doing this wednesday cooking/crockpot... I love the fact that those that read my blog are getting into the spirit and are even sending me recipes to try. Thank you!!! I am willing to try anything so feel free to send me a recipe I will try it and post it on my blog. This week my friend sent me this so I thought I would give it a shot.. If your into trying new stuff, try this one its amazing and so easy!

CREAMY ITALIAN CHICKEN

- 4-5 Frozen Chicken Breasts (frozen)

- 2 Cans Cream of Chicken Soup

- 1 pkg. Dry Italian Dressing

- 8 oz. Cream Cheese

Place frozen chicken in crock-pot, mix other ingredients in mixing bowl, and pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6 hrs or high for 4-5 hrs. Serve with rice.

Oh my goodness this was amazing!!! I added a little bit of water to each can to get that little bit of extra cream of chicken out of the can. Also make sure your cream cheese is room temp I didn't wait because I was in a rush and it was a little lumpy (but still amazing) My friend found the dry italian dressing by the other dressings so keep an eye out because I didn't see it last time I was there.

A huge thank you for sending me this!!!

Chicken Cordon Blue/Mash Potatoes Crockpot

I was excited to try something new and fun this week. I looked in a cook book and found chicken cordon blue that you put in the crockpot. I was so excited. I also decided that I wanted to make potatoes but just be done cook while I was in the kitchen and kids were napping, so I decided to do potatoes. I didn't want to make gravy because the point of crockpotting is to get it done and not worry about dinner the rest of the day so I picked a good seasoned recipe that didn't need gravy. The nice thing about this was its basic things you have in the house. I love to make things that I don't have to make a special run to the store. The time to prepare was about 25 minutes for both dishes.

Chicken Cordon Blue Crockpot

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

6 slices Swiss Cheese (I used pepper jack because thats all I had)

6 slices of ham

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1/4 cup oil

1/2 cup water

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 chicken bouillon cube

What you need:

Step 1: Pound chicken until flat; place ham and cheese on each piece. Roll up chicken and secure with a toothpick.

Step 2: Combine flour and seasonings. Use this mixture to coat the chicken.

Step 3: In skillet, brown chicken in oil. Then place in crockpot

Step 4: Combine water and bouillon until dissolved then mix in with cream of chicken soup. Pour mixture over chicken

Step 5: Cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or HIGH 3-4 hours.

What I thought about it AMAZING! I really enjoyed it... The sauce was really good and we used it to flavor our potatoes a little. The potatoes really didn't need it but it gave it that extra zip...

Yes we will make it again for sure. The only thing I think I will do next time is double the cheese. I didn't taste the cheese to much and didn't get the cheese coming out like normally on chicken cordon blues.

Crockpot Mash-Potatoes with Cream Cheese

3-4 potatoes (mine were huge)

1/2 cube cream cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 chicken bouillon

1/4 water (use the boiling water)

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 tablespoon parsley

Step 1: Boil potatoes as normal until fork friendly :) (you have to use a stove for the first part)

Drain and place back in pot.

Step 2: Add the cream cheese, sour cream, salt, watered bouillon and seasonings. Mash everything up.

Step 3: Place in crockpot and Cook on HIGH for 2hrs or LOW for 4hrs.

Yummy it was really good and creamy. I love creamy mash potatoes. I felt like it needed a little more salt, I will put in seasoning salt next time... I think red potatoes would be divine :)
