Week 15 - Crockpot Fettucine

Hello everyone!  I am a really big fan of cooking in the crockpot on Sundays because it is just so easy! I found this recipe on the Crockin' Girls website which is a great resource if you love using the crockpot. The site is http://www.crockingirls.com/ They are still switching over from their old site so right now the site is not working properly. I definitely recommend checking back when they are up and running.

I found this recipe awhile ago and wanted to give it a try. You will need: 2-3 chicken breasts (cut into pieces), 1 pkg. dry italian salad dressing mix, 2 T. olive oil, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 8 oz. cream cheese, 1 c. chicken broth

First place the chicken in the crockpot and sprinkle the italian seasoning over the chicken. Sprinkle with olive oil. I guess I didn't read the recipe to well because I put my chicken in whole and figured after cooking it I could cut it apart.

Cook on low for 4-6 hours. Then mix the soup, cream cheese and broth until smooth. This was also a bit tough since the cream cheese was hard to get smooth. Add this mixture to the crockpot and cook on low for 1 more hour.

Serve this mixture over hot pasta. We used linguini because I did not have fettucine. Any type of pasta is fine.

This dish reminded me a bit of chicken alfredo, but not as creamy. I liked the sauce mixture that the soup and cream cheese produced.



If you like using the crockpot, definitely check out the Crockin' Girls website. You can also find them on facebook - https://www.facebook.com/happycrockin

Enjoy!!!  I will try to blog over the holiday weekend, but I am not sure how much cooking I will actually be doing. I will try to post a few recipes to end the football season at some point next week. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! Feel free to share your favorite holiday recipes on the blog.

We will conclude the blog for Super Bowl - I'll try to come up with some FUN items for a big party to end the season!
