Crock Pot Chicken

It's a pretty generic name, but it's some really good stuff. And I'm surprised I haven't added this recipe before! It's an old stand-by from my mama's kitchen, with a few tweaks...

3-4 large chicken breasts, frozen
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
1 medium onion, sliced
1 package fresh mushrooms, washed and quartered
1/2 c. water

Put all ingredients in Crock Pot and cook on high for 3 hours, then reduce heat to low for another 4-5 hours. Stir occasionally to mix ingredients. Serve over rice or mashed potatoes.

Peperoncini Roast

1 3-lb. round roast
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 16-oz. jar peperoncini peppers, with juice
2 pkgs. Good Seasonings Italian Dressing Mix
1/2 c. water

Trim roast as needed. Place in Crock Pot along with onion, peppers, dressing mix, and water. Add about 1/2 the peperoncini juice. Cook on HIGH for 6 hours or until roast shreds easily with fork.

Great complement to veggies and crusty bread! Also great on toasted hamburger buns with a slice of melted provolone cheese.

*Chuck roast can be used, but it typically has a large ribbon of fat running through the middle. It's hard work to cut it out; plus, that fat was included in the price. I like something a little leaner, though it may be a little pricier. In the end, I get more for my money.

*Adding too much of the peperoncini juice can make the roast too tangy. If spice is an issue, use half the peppers, less juice, and more water.
