Crock Pot Chicken

Crock Pot Taco Chicken (kids loved this)
from June Cathey

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
2 cans diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel is good)
1 package taco seasoning mix
Add all ingredients and cook on low 7-9 hours or until chicken is tender and easily shreddable.
Serving suggestions....serve with flour tortillas or crunchy taco shells

THEN with the left overs.....add some chicken broth and water to desired consistency of soup...add cans of shoepeg corn and black beans. Serving suggestions....top with sour cream or shredded cheese and serve with tortilla chips

Turkey Breast

from June Cathey

In a crock pot on Low, place a FROZEN turkey breast and pour one Lipton Onion soup mix on top. Cook 9-10 hours. (Do not use two packets of onion soup....it would be too salty) This is great if you are going to be gone all day and you can start frozen!....doesn't have to defrost. (Do not add water....the moisture from the frozen breast is plenty.)

Why I started this blog...

This past Sunday I was sharing recipes with a friend at church. We were both thinking how cool it would be if several people shared crock pot recipes with each other. I took that thought away and brainstormed how recipes could be shared among us. So I am starting the blog and we will see how it goes. To share a recipe on the blog please email me at amyemad@gmail.com and I will post it. The more you share the blog and your recipes the better.
