Yummm! Fall Slow Cooker Recipe- Day 4

When you imagine Fall, what picture do you have? In addition to leaves and pumpkins, fires and shorter days, does food come to mind?

It does for me. Comfort. Warmth. Gatherings.

Sharing a feast. Abundance. The ways God draws us together to share from His table.

And when I thought of food and recipes, I thought of my friend Kristi!

When I asked her if she would share a recipe a week for the series she said absolutely!

Now before I get to the recipe I want to say a couple of words about her. I met Kristi just over a year ago. One of those friends that you feel like you have known longer.

I met her on the day we arrived in PA, having just moved across the country when my husband accepted a position at our church. Her husband unloaded our truck. She watched our son. Within one hour she had invited me to a bible study that she facilitated. Her welcoming spirit was water for a new soul in town.

She is generous and inviting. Creative and an amazing cook and baker. Check out her page for more recipes and tidbits- right here.

OK, on to the recipe!

She choose a Slow Cooker recipe for this week in step with the theme of routines, schedules and keeping it simple.

Crock Pot Creamy Chicken Italiano

4 chicken breast halves

1 envelope dry Italian salad dressing mix

1/4 cup water (I used chicken broth)

8 oz pkg cream cheese (I used 4 oz so it was more brothy than creamy)

1 can cream of (your choice) soup

4 oz can of drained mushrooms

1. Put chicken in slow cooker

2. Combine salad dressing mix and water. Pour over chicken. (Don’t worry if it looks like there’s not enough liquid covering it–the chicken will create some of its own liquid too)

3. Cover. Cook on low 3 hours.

4. Combine cream cheese and soup until blended. Stir in mushrooms. Pour over chicken.

5. Cover. Cook on low 1 hour or until juices run clear.

6. Serve over noodles or rice.

Thank you Kristi for sharing!

I’m going to try each recipe the day it’s posted. This one is in my slow cooker today!
