Quick to prepare crockpot bbq chicken

4-6 chicken breasts (can be frozen)
1 bottle of bbq sauce (although I didn't use the whole bottle; more like 1/2 or 2/3 depending on how much chicken to slather up, you decide)
1 can pineapple crushed or cubed (I actually used half a can of slices and cubed it myself and added a dash or two of the juice)

Put all that into a crockpot on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.

Serve chicken over rice with some of the sauce. Don't forget a side of veggies and some rolls for a complete dinner.

Start dinner by 1pm and you too can have a happy family by evening time!

Creamy Italian Chicken

This is from 101 Things to do with a crock pot. We LOVE it and it is super easy.

4 frozen skinless chicken breasts
1 envelope dry Italian salad dressing mix
1 can (10 3/4 oz. ) cream of chicken soup
1 pkg. (8oz.) cream cheese, softened

Combine all ingredients in greased 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours. (We like it plain or serve over white rice.)

Chicken Salad

This is one of my favorite chicken salad recipes. It is one that we put together from a couple of recipes for Mary's Wedding Reception.

4 lb. chicken, cooked and diced
1 1/4 lb. diced celery
1/3 cup diced onion
3/4 cup mayonaisse
1/4 cup sour cream
grapes cut in half
salt and pepper to taste (Season salt is really good)
1/3 cup crushed cashews.

Mix all together. Really good in cream puffs!

Curry Chicken Casserole

This is a recipe Ariana requested from Derek Curtis, but as he didn't have permission to post here or something, he sent it my way in the hope that I would pass it along. I did, and I am also going to post it here, because I have since found out that Derek does 70 to 80% of the cooking at their house, but for some reason, he tries to hide that fact. I already warned him that I was going to tell the world, so here goes!

4 large chicken breasts
1 c. Cheddar cheese
3/4 c. dry bread crumbs


Sauce

1 c. cream of chicken soup
1/2 c. Miracle Whip
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Boil chicken in water until tender. Remove, cool, and tear into small pieces. Put a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 pan, add chicken and pour sauce over the top. Mix until all chicken is covered. Add the cheese to the top and bread crumbs on top of the cheese.

Bake at 350°, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

Goes great over rice; I usually use brown rice, or if I'm in the mood for a lot of curry, yellow rice (says Derek).

Chicken Alfredo Sandwiches

I made these for dinner last night and they tasted SOOOO good!!! They are easy and fairly fast, so when you are in need of a quick meal, these should satisfy. They are even pretty healthy and perfect for the warmer weather. Enjoy!

1/2 tsp. Italian Seasoning
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
red pepper, cut into strips (you can roast these if you'd like)
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley (or 2 tsp. or so of dried parsley)
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
4 Italian rolls, split
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup-1 cup Alfredo Sauce, warmed (the amount depends on how much you want on your sandwich, really)

1. Combine the Italian Seasoning, salt and pepper; sprinkle over chicken. In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil over medium heat for 8-10 minutes on each side (I put the seasoning on both sides of the chicken), or until juices run clear (you know the drill, right?). Top with red pepper strips during the last 3 minutes of cooking.

2. In a small bowl, combine the butter, parsley, onion powder and garlic powder; brush over cut sides of rolls. Place cut side up on an ungreased cookie sheet and broil until lightly browned.

3. On each roll bottom, layer 1/4 cup spinach, 1 Tbsp. (or more) Alfredo Sauce, a chicken breast half and another tablespoon or so of Alfredo Sauce. Replace roll tops. Eat and Enjoy!

Chicken Parmesan

Alison,
You could try this one. I am not sure I've ever had Olive Garden's Chicken Parmesan, so I'm not sure this will be the same, but my brother-in-law makes it, so it has to be SUPER easy ;) and it was really delicious. If you try it, let me know if it's what you're looking for.

Serves 4.

8 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in half and pounded thin (“Thin is key!” says Brad)
1 jar (26 oz) spaghetti or marinara sauce
1 packet McCormick Parmesan mix
Vegetable oil
Linguine pasta
Shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350° (or whatever the Parmesan mix packet says.) Take chicken halves and lightly coat both sides in vegetable oil. Dredge in parmesan mix. Put in oven for approximately 20 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken. While that’s cooking, heat jar of spaghetti sauce. Cook pasta according to package directions. When chicken is done, lightly cover each piece with a layer of sauce, a layer of cheese, and put back in oven for 5 minutes. On serving plates, put pasta on the bottom, then one piece of chicken on top of each, and pour remaining spaghetti sauce on the top of that, if desired. Serve.
