Hello, Slow Cookerers!!

I hope you are doing well and are (somewhat finished) eating your weight in Halloween candy.
:-)
--> if you want a fun fondue using melted Halloween candy (or by using the GOOD chocolate and marshmallow) --- this one is a hit! <-- 


Next week I'll start sending out Thanksgiving recipes ---

if you are looking for them right now, though, here are my top favorites.


;-)

In the mean time, let's talk Chicken.

Cream Cheese Chicken is one of the first recipes many people try in the crockpot slow cooker.

There are quite a few variations, and the most popular involves using "cream of something" soup.

You can make it that way, or you can do a from-scratch way.

I've got all the versions listed below.

Enjoy!!

FROM SCRATCH RECIPE:

2 cups homemade cream of mushroom soup
(OR SEE EVEN EASIER WAY!)
3 - 4 pounds chicken 
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon white granulated sugar 
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt 
2 cloves minced garlic
8 ounce thawed block of cream cheese (to add later)

or you can make it with:

1 (10.75-ounce) can cream-of-something soup
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 to 4 pounds chicken
1 (2.5-ounce) packet of Italian salad dressing mix
2 cloves minced garlic
8 ounce block of cream cheese (to add later)

OR EVEN EASIER:

Put 2 tablespoons salted butter in a large skillet.

Brown 16 ounces sliced mushrooms for a VERY LONG time on medium heat. (longer than you think --- a good 20 minutes or so, you want them to shrink in half and get nice and brown.

Add a few twists of ground pepper. Then add to crockpot -- juice from pan and all.

The Directions.

Put everything except for the cream cheese into the crockpot. 
Cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and begins to shred.

Shred the chicken with two large forks, and mix in the block of cream cheese.

Switch the crock to high and cook for another 30 minutes, or until the cream cheese is fully melted.

Serve over pasta. We are gluten free so I used gluten free noodles.

The Verdict.

The first time I made this , my six-year-old retorted that this was the very best pasta she's ever had.

So I let her skip bath time.

;-)

Enjoy!! Happy Slow Cooking!!
