MMM YUMMY! and EASY Slow Cooking Scrumptiousness!

Ok so right now as I type this....I am smelling the wonderful aroma of an easy Creamy Chicken recipe I found in this AMAZING magazine called "FIX-IT and FORGET-IT: Our Best Slow-Cooker Recipes 2010"

I want to thank "Life in the Last Frontier" for providing a picture of this cover for my blog. (Just goes to show how easy and great these recipes can be! She showcases a Cheesy Potatoes dish on her blog) She also has other incredible blog posts about her darling new baby!

.........................................................................

This is my second time doing this recipe. The first time was SO easy and it was a major hit with my BF and his co-worker who worked really hard that day bringing in our new mantle/tv stand/electric fireplace/heater. (Just SOUNDS as heavy as I'm sure it WAS!)

So today while he is working his side job I'd thought I'd make it again as a surprise (and also get some practice in :D)

MMHM! If you guys could only smell the amazingness in this home right now...but alas! I will share the recipe my lovies :)


AND JUST IN TIME FOR THANKSGIVING!!!!


~5 Ingredients or less and 15 min prep (my favorite part about putting this recipe together!)

EASY CREAMY CHICKEN
makes 8 servings (but incredibly easy to cut down to smaller or add on to bigger portions :))

ideal slow cooker: 4 qt
..........................................................
8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Lemon pepper to taste (kind of a trial and error unless you already know how you like your chicken :P)
10 3/4oz. can of cream of chicken soup (I used Campbell's Reduced Fat Cream of Chicken Soup)
3-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
8-oz. container sour cream

1. Place 4 chicken breasts (already sliced into halves) in bottom of slow cooker. Sprinkle with lemon pepper.
2. Combine soup and cream cheese in a bowl.  When blended, FOLD in sour cream.
3. Pour HALF the sauce over chicken breasts in slow cooker.
4. Repeat Steps 1 and 3.
5. Cover and cook on high 2 to 4 hours or until chicken is tender.

Tip:
This is good served over cooked rice.
..........................................................

So it comes out amazing, somewhat like pot pie filling, so I suggest if you like that try adding frozen peas to the crock-pot or carrots, or even frozen mixed veggies!!

and I personally would have it over brown rice (I'm trying to knock the white bread and rice out of my life, lol)
HOWEVER if you have a weak moment, like I tend to do...then bake some biscuits in the oven (the yummy ones with all the layers), when serving the dish on a semi-deep serving dish, top with the layers of biscuit over the creamy chicken and WAH-LAH!!! its ALMOST like a variation of Chicken Pot pie!! aha!

OH- and don't forget a little garnish of sprinkled parsley over the top makes it look pretty!

ENJOY!!!! and if you guys try this, please let me know all the details and how you liked it! :)

 (I will update this post with a picture of the finished product!) :)
