I had a friend recently share how much she hates her Crock Pot. I on the otherhand am an advid supporter and user of mine! One of my favorite recipes, my aunt threw together and now I make it all the time! Its super easy!
1 large can of Cream of Chicken Soup
Chicken Breast (as many as you want, I like tenders though!)
1 pkg. Onion Soup Mix
place the chicken in the crock pot, the soup and then sprinkle the soup mix on top and let it cook all day! This serves great with rice and corn, or whatever veggies you want!
