Put sliced ham on the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Put chicken breasts on top of it. Put Swiss cheese on top of the chicken. Take cream of chicken soup, mix with a little water or wine. Dump over chicken/ham. Pour pepperidge farm stuffing mixed with melted butter on top of all that. Cook for an hour. Serve over rice.<br />I'm so lazy I don't even mix the melted butter in with the stuffing, I just slice butter across the top and let it melt when it goes in the oven hahaha!!!!!<br /><br />I make this recipe when priests come for dinner- it seems fancy but it's (secretly!!) easy. ;)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07808091849367216425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-67662331714574517262011-11-30T21:30:30.490-07:002011-11-30T21:30:30.490-07:00We made this one tonight (it's my crazy day of...We made this one tonight (it's my crazy day of meetings and classes over here, so Wednesday is my crock pot night).

Saute the onions in a little bit of olive oil for 3-5 minutes. <br />2. Then add boiling water and the beans. Let cook on med-high heat for approximately 10 minutes. (I frequently forget to boil the water first and it still works! Just bring the water to a boil first then time the ten minutes) <br />3. Add carrots, potatoes and pearl barley. Let cook 5 minutes.<br />4. Add sweet pepper, garlic, fresh hot pepper (opt) and tomato paste. 5. Add salt and spices to taste. <br />6. Let soup simmer (med-low heat) until the beans are soft. <br /><br />It is a one pot, meatless meal.

Buy a whole chicken, coat the skin with butter and salt and pepper (or olive oil and salt and pepper if you're no fun), roast for one hour at 450, then lower the temp to 400 and add to the roasting pan:<br /><br />4 cubed sweet potatoes, which you have tossed with 1-2 chopped sweet onions, 2-4 Tablespoons of honey, 2-4 Tablespoons olive oil, and some kosher salt and pepper <br /><br />Cook for about another hour, stirring the potatoes occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the chicken reads done with an instant-read. Super easy, and if you serve it with a salad or broccoli it's pretty healthy. Also, I always use the leftover chicken carcass for chicken stock.Calahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07632005486245515873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-55039137607740287582011-11-23T11:14:25.919-07:002011-11-23T11:14:25.919-07:00I am taking notes on all these amazing crock pot r...I am taking notes on all these amazing crock pot recipes.
