Creamy Chicken Italiano (for the crockpot)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 envelope dry Italian salad dressing mix
1/4 c. water
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese (can be low-fat Neufchatel)
1 10 3/4 oz. cream of chicken soup
Place chicken in crockpot. Combine salad dressing mix and water. Pour over chicken. Cover. Cook on low for 3 hours (add 1 hour for frozen chicken). Combine cream cheese and soup until well blended. Pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 1 hour more or until chicken juices run clear. Serve over rice.
Easy and tasty, hope you like it. Got it from a good friend here in Logandale--Dottie Adams.
Life is good here: Taylor and Gabrielle had their last basketball games on Tuesday. They both had a good season. It was great fun to watch Taylor play when he really decided to show up for the games. Poor kid is too much like his mother; he has to turn off his brain and let instinct take over in order to perform. He does a better job of it than I do, however. Both kids are defensive menaces, but not foulers, in general (right, Taylor? :-))
We live in a windy, dusty, barren, hot-in-the-summer-and-cold-in-the-winter place, where I don't think anyone would choose to live based on anything like an educated decision. Most of us who live here do it because of the feelings we have about the place and about living here. Such a community, so many wonderful friends and neighbors, so much support. I'm finally to the place that if and when we move on, it will be with fond regret. (But I won't miss the wind. Or summer.) ;-P
