For my crock pot meal this week….
This recipe is from my mom’s friend, Mike. The man is an amazing chef. I can’t believe I’ve never posted it before. If you want to serve food that tastes like it came from a restaurant but don’t have time to fix it–let the crock pot get your back on this one!! You’ll be glad you did.
I served mine over brown rice mixed with black-eye peas. (For good measure.)
Cooks 4 to 6 hours on LOW depending on crock pot. Serves 3 to 4.
What you’ll need:
3 to 4 chicken breasts
1 can cream of mushroom soup–98% fat-free
5 dollops (or tablespoons) of real sour cream
1/2 cup shredded apple smoked cheddar (or whatever kind of cheddar you prefer)
brown rice
How to cook it:
1. Place chicken in crock pot.
2. Mix soup and sour cream together.
3. Smear over chicken, making sure you cover it all.
4. Cover and cook on LOW 4 to 6 hours. Check it at 4 hours. You don’t want it to be dry.
5. Turn off, shred cheese and let sit until cheese melts.
6. Serve over rice.
End Result:
(It will be too rich if you don’t use the 98% fat-free. It’s rich enough as it is.) So rich in fact, it tasted as if it came out on a tray served by a waiter. (That would be me.) It was so good— I served it to his mother. Enough said.

My mouth is watering and my crock pot stands at the ready. It sounds like something I could add to my ever-expanding list of comfort foods.
It sounds like I would eat two portion of it… but my husband HATES mushrooms. ugh. maybe I’ll make that for myself
)))
btw, I put my slow cooker to work today. making short ribs in bbq sauce. 2 hours left and it smells good…
Jennifer, coming from a military family (and a mom who cooked for us EVERY SINGLE NIGHT) these recipes and pictures bring back my childhood. Great site! keep up the good work

@ Juwannadoright— a big thank you! You’ll like this one. It’s so quick and easy to make and is SOOOO yummy! (and comforting)
@ Ewa–I am proud of you for pulling that crock pot off the shelf! You did it! You can barely taste the mushrooms. Let him taste it, and if it’s a no, you and your little one can eat it. She’ll like it—unless she inherited daddy’s taste buds.
@ Pam–thank you so much. Your comment brought me much joy!
I think, I’ll do that. My Little One likes mushroom sauce and chicken so I bet she would like this dish too. As for me it’s sounds heavenly good. I can always freeze some.
Thanks for the link, Jennifer! I’ll be trying this out soon, you can be sure.
@ Ewa, Yes! That sounds perfect!
@ WSW– absolutely! Thanks for the confidence boost.
This looks quite delicious, and very simple, which I love. I would have added a few jalapenos or maybe some habaneros in the end just to spice it up! Thanks for the post. It’s always fun to find a good slow cooker meal.
Looks luscious and easy! I make something like this, and add a little white wine.
@ Chili Pepper Madness–thanks for the comment! You weren’t kidding about Chilli Pepper madness. I visited your site but couldn’t figure out how to leave a comment. You had how to grow them and preserve them and cook with them! Wow! I just planted all kinds of peppers. I’ll be checking back on your site to see how to cook with them once they come up! Thanks!
@ Portia Little—the white wine sounds like a good addition! I went to your site too. You have so many cookbooks! Such an inspiration!
I didn’t know you were doing another blog….I just spotted it so came to have a look…wow! what recipes..I am not a cookie person but some of these sound so easy I should would like to try…..thank you Jennifer
Thanks MissWhipLash. I WAS doing another blog. This one stopped cold turkey once I got pregnant. I just haven’t been in the kitchen. But I have great hope I’ll be cooking agan once the baby’s here. I mean, we’ll need to eat, right?
These are really easy recipes. I do not do complicated as I really don’t like to cook. Anything that can keep me out of the kitchen. And these seem to work quiet well for that! Ha! Thanks for stopping by!
