Scalloped Chicken

This recipe is super easy and one that my family really enjoys, even with the peas! This is what we are having for dinner tonight with Hawaiian rolls and probably baked apples.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 box scalloped potatoes
10 oz frozen peas
2 cups water

Put chicken, potatoes, seasoning pack from potatoes, and peas in crockpot.  Then pour water over top and cook on low 8-10 hours or high 4 hours.

I got this recipe from the Fix It and Forget It cookbook and it is always a hit!  I think next time I may use broccoli.  I think you can probably substitute the peas for whatever veggie your family likes.  What doesn't taste good in cheese?!

Dessert!
Millionaire Pie

1 cup crushed pineapple, well drained
1 -14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
5 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 cup sweetened, flaked coconut (which I am omitting because no one will eat, but me!)
1/2 cup chopped pecans (also omitting for same reason!)
1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed
1- 6oz prepared graham cracker pie crust

Combine coconut, pineapple, pecans, lemon juice, and condensed milk in bowl, mix well.  Then fold in whipped topping.  Pour into pie crust.  Cover and chill 3 hours or overnight.

Easy Chicken

This recipe is exactly what the title says, EASY!!  It is a favorite in our house and can be made when you are really in a hurry. Tonight this is what we had for dinner...

5 or 6 FROZEN Boneless, Skinless chicken breasts
1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce.

Put in frozen chicken.  Then pour bottle of BBQ sauce over top.  Cook for 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low.

We love Sweet Baby Ray's and it is always on sale BOGO at Harris Teeter, so I stock up and this is a meal I make when I don't have time to think about what ingredients I need.  All you have to come up with is sides!  One variation I have done is added sliced onions on the bottom and that is super yummy, if you like onions.

Tonight I also topped it off with an old favorite dessert, Cherry Dump Cake.  It was not made in the crock pot, but an easy recipe and one that keeping the ingredients on hand is easy to do.

1 can crushed pineapple
1 can cherry pie filling
1 box yellow cake mix
1 stick of butter, melted
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Mix the cherries and pineapple and put in 9x13 baking dish.  Then sift cake mix over top.  Put pecans on top, if you choose.  Then pour melted butter on top.  Bake on 350 for 30 mins or until golden bubbly, mine usually takes about 45 mins.
