Last week it was really starting to feel like fall around here. Temps in the upper 60s/low 70s in the afternoons; cool, crisp mornings. It was near perfection. The perfect weather to break out the Crock Pot.
Random fact: Crock Pot is actually a trade marked brand of product? But for some reason when we talk about slow cooking, most of us use the word Crock Pot. Maybe I should start using slow cooker instead.....

This was really a "what do I have that I can throw in the Crock Pot" recipe. And to my surprise it was a dinner pleaser for both the hubs and Little A. And it made enough for us to have leftovers.
Ingredients:
* 4 chicken breasts, frozen
* 4 chicken breasts, frozen
* 2 cups frozen mixed peas and carrots
* 1 cup frozen corn
* 2 cans cream of chicken soup
* 1 teaspoon garlic
* Salt & pepper to taste
* 1/2 cup water
* Corn starch for thickening
Directions:
* Put all the ingredients into the Crock Pot, adding the water last
* Put all the ingredients into the Crock Pot, adding the water last
* Stir a bit to mix
* Cook 6 hours on low, or 4 hours on high, until chicken is cooked through
* Check at half way point to see if you need to add corn starch to thicken it up. Add 1 teaspoon at a time. (I ended up needing about 2 teaspoons).
And that's it! I love Crock Pot cooking!
Enjoy!
I love crockpot cooking! It's fabulous. I've been doing a lot of crockpot recipes since I started back with homeschooling. It makes everything a whole lot more manageable.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I'll have to give this recipe a try!
Wishing you a lovely day.

Sounds delicious! I'll have to make this soon. Maybe Kevin can have this going since he's home all day lounging around while I work right now :-p
ReplyDeleteGlad your weekend was good! And so glad y'all got a date night :) Dim sum sounds yummy. I had Korean BBQ on Sat...yum!
When I was writing my post for tomorrow I literally wondering what the difference between slow cooker and crock pot was! This looks so delicious- and is definitely something I'm going to try out, I think we have most of the ingredients on hand :)
ReplyDeleteI love a good slow cooker soup!! Thank you for sharing! (And it's like the "kleenex" thing. I only ever say tissue, but my husband's mother says kleenex and I feel the need to correct her every time. hah)!
ReplyDeleteYummmmm, that looks so good and flavorful! I also had always wondered why some people said crock pot and some said slow cooker, like I thought that maybe they were different things I was so confused lol. I just bought a crock pot about a month ago and noticed that that was it's BRAND. So yeah, totally useless information there for ya about my crock pot revelations, haha!
ReplyDeleteOk--your photos of your food are so well done! I still swap back and forth between crock pot and slow cooker..whoops!! :)
ReplyDeleteAw thanks girl! Those are probably my only photos that turn out well, ha! I always say crock pot, but maybe I should start saying slow cooker, who knows! :)
DeleteThis looks sooo amazing!! I use crock pot, too. It's similar to how we say kleenex when we just mean a tissue :) But let's talk about those pictures. Oh. My. Goodness. I'm really hungry now...and I think my daughter would love this. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann! We actually bought some more ingredients to make another batch this week. My hubby and daughter both loved it! I hope you enjoy!!
DeleteLooks yummy!! I'll have to pin this. I've been craving chicken soup for soo long!!!
ReplyDeleteFound you on the shine blog hop :-)
I just made it again last night! I hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI wish it were cool enough here in California to start using the slow cooker! It's way too hot for soup but I desperately want some! Especially yours because it looks divine! Thanks for linking up to the SHINE blog hop!
ReplyDeleteYou guys really are still getting hit with the heat. Luckily it's cooling down up here. I love it! :)
