We’ve been busy around here since you and I last got together. Eleanora started ballet class.
She also had her first dental cleaning. She refused to get in the chair, so guess who got to sit in it with her?
Then she picked out a prize…
… which she wore all day long (adding a few more accessories along the way) right up until bath time.
We took our first trip to Disneyland with our friends Jeff, Devon, and Harlow. What you see below is three small children at the end of a day that contained approximately 18 rides and exactly zero naps. 🙂
And of course we’ve been just living life. You know, getting ourselves dressed…
… swinging…
… enjoying 15 minutes of Facebook fame for cheering the Wildcats on to the Final Four…
… and acting like we get along.
All of that has kept us very busy. And yet… they still want dinner.
So here is a really simple recipe for your busiest days.
You can do either chicken breasts or chicken thighs; we like both in our house. (I will say, though, that chicken breasts tend to get a little dry in this one.)
This recipe gets big points for nostalgia (Remember those “chicken and Stovetop” commercials from the 80s?) and mega points for simplicity.
It’s just an easy little crockpot meal that’s humble and unpretentious. Are you going to serve it to your fancy supper club or a panel of vanguard chefs?
NO.
But will you and your family eat it up on a busy weeknight because it is delicious?
YES.
CROCKPOT CHICKEN AND STUFFING (printable pdf)
- 1.5-2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts and/or thighs
- 1 (6 oz) package cornbread stuffing mix
- 1/2 C sour cream
- 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/3 C chicken broth or water
Place chicken in crockpot. Sprinkle stuffing mix on top. In a medium-size bowl, whisk together sour cream, condensed chicken soup, and chicken broth until blended. Spoon mixture over chicken and stuffing mix.
Cook on high for about 2-3 hours or low for about 4 hours. (Cooking times can vary depending on your crockpot.) Use two forks to shred the chicken and fluff the stuffing just before serving.
