What's cooking???

It has been so darn hot the past few days that I have not been cooking much in the afternoons. My kitchen is on the west side of the house so it heats up real fast. I got up this morning and put the ingredients for Cheesy Chicken in one crock pot and speckled butter beans in another. By the time we return from work both should be ready and no hot kitchen!! I plan to slice some garden tomatoes, serve a few marinated cucumbers and call it supper. What's cooking in your kitchen today?

I will just come and eat at your house.  LOL.  I am not cooking tonight.  I will be at the hospital with my father.  He is having some heart problems.  So, I guess we will be eating out tonight after we get off work before we head to the hospital to relieve Mother so she can grab a bite.

I am always looking for new things to do in the crock pot.  So, what all goes in there for the cheesy chicken?  It sounds good to me.

Hope all goes well with your dad. Supper is around 6, so come on over!

Cheesy Chicken

3 - 4 Chicken Breast
1 pk lowfat cream cheese, room temp
1 can reduced fat cream of chicken soup
1 pk dry Italian salad dressing
rice or pasta, optional

Spray crockpot with nonstick spray. Mix cream cheese, soup and dry italian mix. Pour 1/2 of soup mixture in bottom of crockpot, place chicken on top and cover with remain 1/2 of mixture. Top with tinfoil and cover with the lid. Cook all day on low. Just before serving, shredd chicken iwth a fork. You may add cooked rice or pasta at this point.

It is really good with or without the pasta or rice. Hope you enjoy it!

Wow Denise, that sounds good!  My favorite meals were at my grandmother's house on a farm because it was always fresh veggies she had cooked.  We are hoping once we get moved to have a garden again.
