Crockpot Chicken Supreme




I found this recipe at about.com. The recipe is not mine or the picture. However, it is so good and easy. My husband was very impressed. (YEA!) It's eleven points for for one whole breast or two halves. I used slices of 2 percent Velveeta to lower the points.




You can substitute different types of cheese and different flavors of condensed soup to change the flavor of this fabulous, easy slow cooker recipe.


Prep Time: 15 minutes


Cook Time: 6 hours


Ingredients:
3 slices bacon
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
10 oz. can condensed cream of chicken soup OR 10 oz. jar four cheese Alfredo sauce
4 oz. jar sliced mushrooms, drained OR 1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup diced Swiss or Havarti cheese


Preparation:In large skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet and drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon and set aside in refrigerator.


In bacon drippings in skillet, cook chicken over medium heat 3-5 minutes or until light brown, turning once. Place in 4-6 quart slow cooker. Top with mushrooms. In skillet, heat soup and pour over mushrooms and chicken. Cover and cook on low setting for 4-5 hours, or until chicken registers 165 degrees F on a meat thermometer.


Top chicken with cheese slices and sprinkle with bacon. Cover and cook on high for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. 6 servings


Note: Author of recipe recently started cooking this dish using frozen chicken breasts. Brown them, as directed, in the bacon drippings, then cook on low for 6-8 hours, until no longer pink in the center.
P.S. It's been a really bad week. This is my best I can do for checking in for the healthy you challenge.

Sorry to hear you've been sick! I had bronchitis last fall and it sucks... but it's always worse when the little ones get sick too, isn't it? Glad to see you getting back on program and into the swing of things. You can do it!!
