Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup

This was sooooo good! I've never made homemade chicken noodle soup before and I was super excited about how it turned out. Someday I'll try to make homemade noodles to go with it :)

5 cups chicken broth
1 12.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
1/2 cup green onions, sliced
1 15 oz can whole kernel corn, drained
Salt and pepper to taste
3 cups Egg noodles
1 chicken breast

1. Remove fat from chicken and place in crock pot along with all of the other ingredients except the noodles.
2. Let cook in crock pot on low for 5-6 hours.
3. After chicken is cooked through, remove and shred.
4. Add noodles fro the last hour and turn on high.

1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 tsp pepper
1 8oz package softened cream cheese (not fat free)

grated cheese
bacon bits
diced green onion

1. Add everything to the crockpot except the cream cheese.

Crockpot Chicken Caesar Sandwiches

I really liked this! I thought it would make a good sub for tuna fish (which I DO NOT like). It's a good meal for an outdoor picnic and I liked it for lunches (it was good leftover too!)
Serves 4-6

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (fat cut off)
1/2 to 1 cup ceasar dressing
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley (if you don't have fresh use around 2 teaspoons of dried parsley)
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
sliced red onion
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
4-6 regular sized hamburger buns

1. Place chicken in crockpot with 1-2 cups of water, cover and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours.
2. Remove chicken and shred.
3. Place chicken back in the crockpot and pour dressing, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and pepper over the top. Only add enough dressing to make it all stick together. Stir.. Cover and cook on high heat for 30 minutes or until mixture is hot.
4.Spoon onto bun with lettuce, sprinkled parmesan cheese, and some slices of red onion.

I found this recipe on this site.

Italian Chicken & Rice

Serves 4
2-4 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese (let sit out to soften)

rice

1. Stir the cream cheese, cream of chicken, and seasoning in the crockpot.
2. Turn crockpot on low and let sit 30 minutes and then mix it well.
3. Put the chicken in (you can put it in frozen, I usually defrost it and cut off the fat and then put it in).
4. Cook on high for 4-6 hours or until chicken is cooked.
5. I shredded the chicken, but you can just cut it into strips.
6. Cook the rice.
7. Dish out some rice and pour the chicken mixture on top! Super yummy!
