Welcome to My Page!

Welcome! I am starting this page to share the recipes I cook in my kitchen that I already use and ones that I have found on the web and tried. I love looking at other people's cooking blogs for ideas to use in my own kitchen. My favorite blogs are the ones with step-by-step pictures and directions like Southern Plate, created and run by Christy Jordan. Her humor, stories, and recipes are great! I find that when I talk to people about cooking, many are intimidated by recipes. I always hear others say that they want cookbooks and recipes with pictures. My goal for this page is to share easy and delicious recipes that anyone can make. Believe me, I am no chef. So, I figure if I can prepare and cook these recipes, then you can too!

Slow Cooker Creamy Italian Chicken

I made the dish that is featured in this post in another kitchen while my husband was house sitting. We will pretend this is my kitchen and my pretty granite counter tops. Hehe :) This recipe is very easy and surprisingly good for how simple the ingredients are. This is a pretty popular slow cooker recipe. It may be one that you already have in your recipe book. If not, try it!
You will need: a package of chicken breasts, 2 cans of Cream of Chicken Soup, a packet of dry Italian dressing mix, 1 package of cream cheese (I used reduced fat), and  pasta (I like bow tie pasta with this dish)
This recipe does have a little bit of prep that needs to be done before you put everything into the slow cooker. Over low heat, mix together the two cans of cream of chicken soup and the cream cheese.
Stir and heat this until the ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
Spray the bottom of your slow cooker dish with cooking spray.
Place your chicken breasts into the bottom of the slow cooker and sprinkle the dry Italian dressing mix over them.
Pour the mixture of cream of chicken soup and cream cheese over the chicken and dressing. Place cover on slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours. Just before the chicken is ready, cook your pasta or rice. Serve chicken over pasta.

Combine cream cheese and cream of chicken soup in a small pot over low heat. Stir over heat until ingredients are combined. Spray the bottom of your slow cooker with cooking spray. Place the chicken in your slow cooker and sprinkle Italian dressing packet over it. Pour the soup and cream cheese mixture over the chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. You can leave it in there all day.  Once chicken is done, shred it into smaller pieces. Serve over pasta of your choice and enjoy.

You may want to toss some of the following ingredients in at the end as well:
