Wedding Chicken

This chicken was served by our caterers at my wedding almost 6 years ago! We loved this chicken SO much that my mom asked the caterers for the recipe - we didn't realize how easy it was until we tried it ourselves. Its still delicious, and a favorite in our household...6 years later. :) Its great just for a weekly meal for your family, or a decadent meal for guests.

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
3/4 C. of chicken broth
1/2 C. sour cream
2 Tbl poppy seeds
salt and pepper

Put chicken breasts in the slow cooker and then add all the other ingredients after. Set slow cooker on low for 3-4 hours. You can eat the chicken on its own, or serve it over a bed of egg noodles. We also like this meal with fresh green beans.

Broccoli Salad

This is a favorite salad of ours - hope you enjoy it too! I usually double or triple the recipe if we want leftovers or if I'm bringing it to a dinner. Usually I do less raisins and sunflower seeds than the recipe calls for as it tends to be too "raisiny" for us.

Salad:
4 cups broccoli & cauliflower
1 cup raisins
1 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup red onion
1/4 cup of bacon bits

Dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp vinegar
3-4 tbsp sugar

Ginger Chicken

>> Wednesday, August 12, 2009

Like Rena's recipe below, this another GREAT recipe for the slow cooker. I find this is the meal I go to when I don't know what else to make - its one of those recipes where you more than likely have ALL the ingredients for this one kicking around in your pantry and fridge. I got this meal idea from my Mother in law. :)

3 Chicken breasts

2 cans of tomato soup

1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper

2 tsp of powdered ginger OR 1 tbl fresh grated ginger

salt and pepper to taste

Assemble all this in your slow cooker and turn it to high for 3 hours or low for 4-5 hours.

We serve this over a bed of rice, and I usually like serving this with green peas. :) ENJOY!!
