This is something I came up with by just throwing things I had into the crock pot. The husband liked it, so it became one of our regular meals. The ingredients can really vary, depending on how many people you're serving/what you have in your house at the time.
What you need:
5-6 small chicken breasts (4 large, cut in half)
4 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
*half small bag of mini carrots
1 cup of frozen corn
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1/4 cup water
I start with the potatoes on the bottom, just so that they can cook in the water. I then add the chicken, and throw what ever veggies I have on top. Then, add the cream of chicken soup and water. I cook this on low for 5-6 hours, and the chicken is so delicious and tender! I add salt and pepper to taste, when it's already on my plate.
*I throw the whole bag of mini carrots in, just because my 3 year old loves cooked carrots, and he'll not touch the potatoes. You can cater this to your family's tastes.
Other options: leave the potatoes and water out, and serve it over rice.
a tool to help me organize my dinner plans, to eliminate that "what's for dinner?" 5:00 crisis, and to save money by only buying what I'm going to use for dinner.

Chicken Bundles
Ingredients for Chicken Bundles
* 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
* 1-13 oz. cans chicken
* 1 Tbs. sesame seeds
* 1/4 tsp. parsley
* 2 cans Pillsbury Crescent Rolls - leave in fridge until ready to use!
* 1 Tbs. finely chopped onion or dried minced onion
Directions:
Combine the above ingredients (minus the crescent rolls) and mix well.
Open one 8 count package crescent rolls. DO NOT divide into triangles. Keep every 2 triangles together, forming 4 rectangles.
Pinch the seams closed and pat each one out into a larger square. Note from Brittni... "I forgot to pat them out into larger squares, and so I had to use an extra can of crescent rolls to use up most of the filling, so it might be good to have and extra can handy." (I changed the ingredient list to 2 cans of crescent rolls just in case!)
Put a spoonful of chicken/cream cheese mixture into the center of each square. Fold the corners up into the center, layering like flower petals so the roll is sealed. (Don't stress too much on the technique, fold them up press seams together to make a bundle.)
Repeat with all 8 rectangles. You're going to worry that you're doing this wrong, but you're not, just do it, I promise they'll taste delicious.
Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
I got this recipe and the instructions from this awesome website! Check it out:
