Creamy Chicken

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
4 oz cream cheese
1 envelope italian dressing mix (any brand, but Good Seasons is great)

Place the breasts on the bottom of your crockpot. Mix the soup, cheese and seasonings and pour over the chicken. Cook on low for 5-6 hours and serve over rice. Note: low fat varieties of soup and cream cheese work just as well.

Crockpot Chicken Tacos

I can't remember what website I got this off of, it may have been from the recipe exchange email, so I'm sorry that I can't give the credit to the person it is due.

I made this tonight and my husband was so impressed, I almost wanted to make him think I had slaved over it for hours. But the truth is that it took about 5 minutes to throw everything in the crockpot. Super simple and yummy! What more can you ask for?

Crockpot Chicken Tacos
2-3 Chicken Breasts (I used 6 frozen Chicken Tenders)
1 Can Chicken Broth
1 Pkg Taco Seasoning
1 Cup Salsa
1 Can Corn (I drained them)
1 Can Black Beans, drained

Place in crockpot and cook 3-4 hours on HIGH. Shread chicken (I used a fork and a wooden spoon and didn't have to take them out of the crockpot). Serve with cheese and sour cream on tortillas. It is really runny, so you may want to use a slotted spoon to scoop it out. The recipe I have says they sometimes just eat it like soup. I'm considering adding diced tomatoes to it next time.


On a side note, that is my new crockpot ^ and this v is what happened to my old one.


We got this little crockpot as a wedding gift and it worked well for our little family. It's hard to fit a very big roast in it, and I halved most of the recipes I used, but it was only the two of us. Then I left the lid a little too close to the burner and it melted. I don't think they make the plastic lids anymore, or so I've heard. And I figured we needed a bigger one for our growing family anyway. So I got a 6 quart one as a Christmas present to me. I love crockpots!
