OK, Mom's on a Roll

I made another new recipe tonight.  Kids-- you will get all of these posts in pages for your Suggestion books later, but if you want to go ahead and make them now, here is your chance......

Crockpot Italian Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts cooked and cubed
• 1 to 1 1/2 cup cooked cut broccoli
• 1 packet Zesty Italian Dressing (dry)
• 1  8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
• 2 cans Cream of Chicken Soup

• Pasta  (I used Rotelli, but any shape will work.)

About cooking the chicken:  I use flash frozen chicken breasts.  I bake them in the oven, but after I cube them, I like to throw them into a screaming hot skillet with a little olive oil just long enough to give them some color.

Combine all ingredients EXCEPT pasta in crock pot.  Cook on low 4 hours.  ( I actually only cooked it 3 hours because I was late getting started, but it worked fine)  If it seems too thick, add some milk.  I did not have to do that.  Maybe after 4 hours it might be different.

Cook pasta according to package directions.  Serve Chicken mixture over pasta.  (or I just mix it all together.  I like it better that way, but it is not as "fancy schmancy.")

Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

Oh yeah... you can see mushrooms in the above picture, huh?  Wow.  You are observant.  I had some fresh mushrooms I needed to use before they went bad.  I just sauteed them in butter and stirred them in when I stirred in the pasta.  You can add whatever you want... that is the reason this is just a suggestion.
