Everyone loves this meal. I love that it can cook in the crock pot all day long. Since the family is divided on whether the cheesy chicken is best served over egg noodles or rice, we generally alternate between the two. Tonight I’ll be serving it over egg noodles. I was going to serve it over rice since we were supposed to have Tuna Casserole on Monday, but the casserole ended up being nixed in favor of Steve and Violet going out to eat at Braum’s.
Cheesy Crock Pot Chicken
6 boneless, skinless Chicken breasts - fresh or frozen
2 cans Cream of Chicken soup
1 can Cheddar Cheese soup
Garlic powder
Salt & Pepper
Place chicken in crock pot (rinse chicken if fresh; no need to defrost if frozen) and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Mix undiluted soups and pour over chicken.
Cook 6-8 hours on low. Serve over rice or noodles.
My mother-in-law gave me these recipes. It is one of her favorite meals to serve when she is having company over for an informal get-together. She makes the beef on the stove (and I’m including those directions too) but I like to toss it in the crock pot to slow cook all day. This is a good meal all year long. For an even simpler summer version, substitute cold Pork & Beans and Potato Chips or Potato Salad for the side dishes.

Cut Chuck Roast into small pieces, removing fat.
Stove-top method: Brown meat in oleo. Cover meat with water (just enough to cover). Add small onion, diced, and salt and pepper. Put cover on and cook until meat falls apart. You may need to add water during cooking. ½ hour before serving, add 1 can Beef Consume and continue cooking
Crock Pot method: Put 1 can Beef Consume, butter, onion and meat pieces in crock pot. Cook for 6-8 hours. Drain excess liquids. Shred meat with fork.
Serve on buttered hamburger buns. I like to get the buns from the deli/bakery. A dill pickle spear is a nice accompaniment.
