Crock Pot Pepperoni Chicken

If you've been reading for a while you know I like chicken recipes. I also like my crock pot. This recipe was quick to prepare and tasted great. Marley loved it.

Chicken Breasts

Pepperoni

Diced onion

Salt

Garlic Powder

Italian Seasoning

Place chicken in crock pot.  Sprinkle on seasonings and onions.  Cover with pepperoni. 

Cover and cook on low 4-6 hours. 

Crock Pot Chicken Quesadillas

I haven't made quesadillas in a while. I had one of those fancy quesadilla maker things, but someone decided to make a cookie in it and when that didn't work out so well we had to throw it away. I don't know why I never thought to make them on the griddle, but it worked out well.

1 small cans green chilis, diced

12 oz jar salsa 

1 teaspoon ground cumin 

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken 

salt and pepper, to taste 

shredded cheese

Place chicken in crock pot. Place remaining ingredient (except cheese) on top. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. 

Once done cooking shred chicken.  Place tortillas on griddle and top with cheese and chicken mix. Top with another tortilla and flip to cook to your liking. 

Brown Sugar Spiced Chicken

I don't even have any words to describe this chicken. It was SO GOOD! You must make it, tonight!

2 1/2 tbsp light brown sugar

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp cumin

3/4 tsp kosher salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp garlic powder

6 chicken breasts

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Mix all ingredients except chicken together in a bowl. Coat each chicken breast with this mixture. Place on baking sheet and bake at 425 for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.  

Crock Pot Chicken Taco Bowls

Marley told me a few months ago that the food I make is 'unique.'  I guess you could say she is right, I never just make plain beef tacos or plain hot dogs on buns. So in true mom fashion I cooked up these taco chicken bowls.  They were delicious and we didn't have any leftovers.

1½ lbs. chicken breasts
1 (16 oz.) jar salsa
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained
½ lb. (8 oz.) frozen corn
1 Tbsp chili powder
½ Tbsp cumin
½ Tbsp minced garlic
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp salt

1/4 cup water
2 cups dry rice
8 oz. shredded cheddar

Add everything except the rice and cheese to the slow cooker. Mix it all together. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Cook the two cups of rice according to the package directions. Shred the chicken but don't remove it from the crock pot. Build the taco bowls by placing rice on the bottom, then the taco chicken mix and top with the shredded cheddar cheese.

Crock Pot In a Hurry Chicken Curry

Here's another recipe from my personal collection. This could probably be prepared ahead of time and frozen, then just dumped in the crock pot. It doesn't look for appealing, but it was pretty tasty.

16 oz bag frozen mixed veggies

4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 can cream of potato soup

2 tbsp curry powder

Place veggies in crock pot.  Place chicken on top.

 In a bowl mix soup and curry powder. Pour in crock pot. Cover and cook on low 6-7 hours.

This is another recipe I received in the mail from a swap through Swap-Bot.  

It was pretty good and quick to prepare. 

1 cup bread crumbs

1 cup diced ham

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 cup diced chicken

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place half of bread crumbs on bottom of baking dish. Spread ham on top of crumbs.  Mix chicken and mushroom soup and spread over ham. Cover with remaining crumbs.  Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. 

One Dish Chicken and Stuffing

I received this recipe in the mail from a lady that I swap recipes with over at Swap-Bot.

1/2 cup hot water

1 tbsp butter, melted

Place chicken on each side of stuffing. In small bowl mix soup, milk, and parsley. Pour over chicken. 

Cover and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for 15 more minutes or until chicken is done. 

No Work Chicken

A friend of mine posted that she had this chicken for dinner and loved it, so of course I had to try it out too. It was pretty good and was really hardly any work at all. 

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

3 tablespoons dijon mustard (I just used yellow mustard and it tasted fine)

1/2 teaspoon curry powder

4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In bowl mix all ingredients except chicken. Place chicken in baking dish and pour mixture over top. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes flipping over halfway through or until chicken is no longer pink.

½ cup plain yogurt

In slow-cooker, combine onion, garlic, chicken, lemon pepper, and oregano. Place chicken in and spoon mixture over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours.  Heat pita bread as directed on package.  Remove chicken from slow-cooker and shred.  Stir yogurt into onion mixture in slow-cooker.

Creamy Italian Chicken Crock Pot Freezer Meal

Back for another freezer meal.  If you're not going to freeze it all you have to do is dump all the ingredients into the crock pot. If you are going to freeze it, just dump all ingredients into a freezer bag and freeze. On cooking day just thaw it out and pour it into crock pot. Super easy!

4-6 chicken breasts

8 ounces cream cheese

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 packet italian dressing powder mix

Dump all ingredients into crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
