WFMW – Easy Crockpot Dijon Chicken

February 18, 2009 By

slow-cooker-crockpot-nscxx

This is one of my family’s favorite meals, and is on the menu at least twice a month. It’s a great meal when you have a busy day!

Ingredients:

  • Chicken – I use boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins that come flash frozen in a bag, and I use 2 pieces per person – this is plenty for dinner, plus a little bit of leftovers.
  • 1 Cup Italian Salad Dressing  – any kind will do!
  • Seasoning – I use Paula Deen’s House Seasoning (1/2 C salt, 1/4 c each pepper and garlic powder  – yummy on EVERYTHING!)

Put into crockpot, cool on low for 6-8 hours, high for 3-4.

About 30 minutes before serving, remove chicken and shred. Place back into Crockpot and add:

  • one can Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1 C sour Cream
  • 1 T Dijon Mustard (to taste)

Stir well, let cook another 30 minutes while you make rice (or noodles)

You can also make this without the Dijon, for a yummy Chicken Stroganoff

The one where I shoplift…

February 16, 2009 By

So there I was, at the airport with BlissDom’s Über-Fabulous Keynote Speaker , when we ran into other talented, creative BlissDom girls. Making our way towards the gates, we stopped in an airport gift shop. Surrounded by the awesomeness of Moon pies (love the banana ones), Slap-yo-mama BBQ sauce and Elvis Lunch boxes, I was quickly overwhelmed and grabbed my bag and Jen’s and headed out to wait with Melissa and Kimba. Little did I know I had been the victim of a desperate stowaway…

Pooch-i

HELP! SAVE ME!
(it’s a pooch-i…*)

 I had no idea a little pink friend had joined us, having snagged itself on the bag as I wound my way out of the maze of the airport gift shop. Until Jen walked out…and noticed the furry pink thing on her bag. NO ONE had noticed I walked out of their shop with a poodle, no one seemed to care when I brought it back. Except for my new BlissDom friends, who didn’t let me forget (Thanks Melissa!!) that I tried to free a helpless animal from her tragically tacky home…

 PS-Can you guess what you 3 are getting for Christmas this year???

*Pooch-i = pucci. Get it??

(no pink furry glittery poodle purses were harmed in the posting of this blog)
