Remember that crockpot chicken salsa stuff I like to make? (the one where I get to put frozen chicken in the crockpot and cover it with salsa and corn and black beans and cream cheese? yummm), well this is like that... but Italian-ish. :)
I forgot to take a picture, but it was SOOOO good everyone had seconds! (We had 4 missionaries over too!) So it makes a lot. :)
- Just take your crockpot.
- Put some frozen chicken in. (I had 3 breasts and didn't want to use a lot of our meat, so it's all I put in)
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cans diced tomatoes (maybe of the seasoned sort - like with basil, oregano, and garlic)
(go ahead, just dump them all in)
- Italian seasonings (stuff like crushed basil leaves, oregano, marjoram, thyme, etc... whatever is in that blend called "Italian Seasoning")
- Black pepper
- Maybe some other seasonings... like coriander... or cumin... or garlic salt.. you know, whatever you feel like dumping in.
- Maybe a cup of water, if you feel like it.
- A block of cream cheese (put it in in the beginning or save it for later.... either way. - I ended up doing half and half, actually. I wasn't sure how much cream cheese I wanted, but I ended up using the whole 8 oz)
- Turn that puppy on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6+ hours. Just cook it until that chicken is cooked through.
- Then shred the chicken with a couple forks and mix it all together. Let it sit another 30 min to an hour (or longer) so the chicken will absorb all the flavor.
- Serve it over rice.
YUM!!!!
SO easy, SO simple, and seriously, dump it in and let it sit. Cook your rice in a rice cooker and it's even less work! Man, I love food that cooks itself. :)
