Extra juicy chicken and savory stuffing simmer together in the crock pot with your favorite vegetables for an easy, comforting meal that the family will love!

Ingredients

US CUSTOMARY - METRIC

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, salted and peppered if desired.
• 10.5 oz. cream of chicken soup
• 8 oz. sour cream, (equivalent to 1 cup)
• 6 oz. box stuffing mix
• ¾ cup chicken broth
• 2 cups green beans, fresh or frozen
• 1 cup baby carrots
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley

Optional stuffing additions:

• 1/2 cup onions, diced
• 1/2 cup celery, diced
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup crumbled sausage, (cooked or raw)
• 2 teaspoons dry rosemary

Instructions

1. Place the chicken on the bottom of the crock pot and sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the soup, sour cream, stuffing, and half of the broth. Layer the stuffing mix over the chicken.
3. To keep the vegetables separate from the stuffing, place a layer of foil over the stuffing, then place your vegetables on top of the foil.  Poke holes on the bottom of the foil to allow the moisture to circulate instead of collecting on the top of the foil.  You can also layer the vegetables right on top of the stuffing if you’d prefer.
4. Cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 6-7. 
5. Before eating, check on the stuffing. If you’d prefer additional moisture, add the rest of the chicken broth, stir, and heat for an additional 10 minutes.
6. Garnish the chicken with parsley if desired!

Crock Pot Sweet and Sour Chicken

From Frugal Girls (http://thefrugalgirls.com/2012/04/slow-cooker-sweet-and-sour-chicken.html)

What You’ll Need:

• 4 – 5 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
• Optional: Cooked Rice makes the perfect side!

For the Sauce:

• 3/4 cup Water
• 3/4 cup Sugar
• 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
• 2 tbsp. Corn Starch
• 8 oz. canned Pineapple Tidbits
• 1/2 tsp. Paprika
• Optional: Finely chopped white onions

Cook chicken in crock pot on high for 3 hours {covered}.  After 3 hours, drain juices from crockpot. (or whatever your preferred method is for cooking chicken breasts in crock pot)

In a small bowl, combine Corn Starch with the liquid pineapple juice you’ve drained from the can of pineapple tidbits.

In a large saucepan, heat the Water, Vinegar, and Sugar to a boil.  Reduce heat to low, and gradually stir in the white Corn Starch/Pineapple Juice mixture.

Raise heat to medium, continue stirring, and let thicken.

Add in the pineapple tidbits, and sprinkle sauce with 1/2 tsp. Paprika, and stir.

Pour sauce into crockpot, stir, and allow to simmer for 45 more minutes.

Serve with whatever suits your fancy!

Slow Cooker Oatmeal

From http://www.theyummylife.com/Slow_Cooker_Cherry_Almond_Oatmeal

3/4 cup dried tart cherries
1 apple (peeled and grated) or 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1-1/2 cups water
1 cup uncooked steel cut oats
2 TB brown sugar (I use sucanat)
1-1/2 TB butter cut into 5-6 pieces (optional)
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 TB ground flax seed
1/4 tsp salt
optional garnishes : toasted sliced almonds, maple syrup, additional almond milk or butter

Coat inside of 3-1/2 qrt or larger slow cooker with cooking spray. Add all the ingredients except toppings.
Stir, cover and cook on low for 7 hours.

I used dried cranberries and apples, no butter, some walnuts, no extract, chia seeds instead of flax, no salt...I love this because it's oatmeal you can't really mess it up just keep the ratio pretty close and it works out.

Crock Pot Beef

Oh yeah. It falls apart and everything. Use it for stroganoff or philly cheese steak or just serve with 2 different color vegetables, local and in season.

2 lbs of chuck roast
dry onion soup mix

Rub the roast with your onion soup mix and wrap it in 3 layers of foil.
Keep it in fridge overnight.
Cook on low for 8 hours - careful when you unwrap it as the hot juice will be coming out between each layer of foil.
