In the 10+ months that we have been married, I think I can count on two hands the number of times I have cooked a full-on homemade dinner.
Poor Brady.
I guess I deserve posts like this...
Just to clarify...
No... I did not put canned chili in the crockpot. And no I did not have the toots. . . #bradybeingbrady.
I will have you know that our dinner turned out pretty decent and it was simple enough that even I didn't mess it up. I thought i'd share because I think (and hope) there are other newly married/ starving college students that could use a tasty, cheap and easy recipe. We have my mother-in-law to thank for this one...
Italian Chicken Recipe
What you need~
4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 T. butter
1/2 c. water
1 8oz. package or cream cheese (softened)
1 packet of Italian salad dressing mix
(I spent a good 10 mins looking for this at the grocery store... so hopefully this helps)
1 10oz. can condensed cream of chicken soup (undiluted)
1 4oz. mushroom pieces (drained) **OPTIONAL and YUCK**
Hot cooked noodles or rice.
Directions~
Place the chicken breast halves and butter in the crockpot. Combine salad dressing mix and water; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 hours.
Then...
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese and cream of chicken until blended. Stir in mushrooms (or not). Pour cream cheese mixture over chicken in crockpot. Cook 1 to 3 hours longer or until chicken juices run clear.
Serve Italian Chicken with rice or hot cooked noodles.
Serves 4-8.

EASY and DELISH!
Youre too cute! Cooking is something that I have definitely had to get used to. You should look up the sixsistersstufff.com (some really good/not to hard recipes). And this definitely shocked me but the Betty Crocker cookbooks have some bomb recipes (and easy directions- they explain everything as if you've never cooked before) AND our grocery bill has gone down since cooking from betty crocker- easy ingredients that can be spread across a few different meals!
ReplyDeleteHollie~ I was just reading your blog yesterday, thank you for your recommendations! It's hard to keep these boys fed on a budget! I'm thinking we should double sometime eh? I could also use a little workout motivation, you seem to be on top of that! You are superwoman!
