Okay, I don't have a photo of this recipe because I think it is hard to make crockpot meals look good. But, make this anyway, because it was SO easy and tasted SO good.
Pizza Chicken
(serves 3)
3 raw chicken breasts
1 jar pizza sauce (14 oz approx)
20 slices turkey pepperoni
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
Layer in crockpot. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 7 hours. Serve with breadsticks to dip into the extra sauce.
See, how easy is that? You could add your favorite pizza toppings, but I like mine best with plain pepperoni. I think next time I will add the cheese towards the end of cooking instead of at the beginning because it disappears a little. But it still tasted good.
Jen, Christy, Kate, maybe Erin (explain later) and I have used the cookbook, Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook by Beth Hensperger a lot. It is a paperback and although fat, not expensive. I first bought it for Jen when she started using a slow cooker as a bit of a joke as she was never enamored with my hunk of beef, potatoes, onions and carrots crockpot dinners. I also bought Erin a copy as I wanted to have the Cockaleekie Soup while I was new baby cooking in SF. The Crock Pot is getting us through our weeks of being ovenless as we redo the kitchen. Recently, at the Borders liquidation I bought the Not Your Mother's Casserole Cookbook which has a different author, but Jen says it is definitely worth buying.
ReplyDeleteSounds amazingly easy and yummy. Dumb question ... RAW chicken breasts? Or already cooked?
ReplyDeleteI actually own the NYMSC cookbook, but I don't think I've made anything out of it. I'll have to reach out to your girls to see what their favorite recipes are. I have to be a little particular about crockpot recipes because Ben won't eat potatoes.
ReplyDeleteKim, use raw chicken breasts. See, so easy!
