Everyday Cheapskate: You Need a Kitchen Assistant
1 can any cream soup (mushroom, chicken, celery, etc.)
1/4 cup milk
Instructions:
Pound chicken breasts very thin with a flat-sided mallet (not the tenderizing side). Place a slice of ham and cheese on each piece. Roll up and secure with a toothpick. Place three rolls in the slow cooker so it looks like a triangle. Layer the rest on top. Mix soup with milk, then pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for four hours or until chicken is no longer pink. Serve with the sauce. Fabulous! Yield: 6 large servings.
ITALIAN CHICKEN
Ingredients:
4 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Bottled Italian dressing
Instructions:
Place the chicken in the slow cooker. Pour Italian dressing over the top of the chicken, enough to cover but not so much the chicken is drowning. (You really can't go wrong here.) Cover and cook on low heat for seven hours, or on high heat for three-and-a-half hours. Ridiculously easy and so delicious! Serve over rice or noodles, or alongside a baked potato. The possibilities are endless. You're welcome.
If you don't have a slow cooker, for just the cost of three or four dinner takeouts, you can buy a very nice one. Then put your kitchen assistant to work. You'll be a hit with your family and wallet, too.
