Chicken Tacos in A CrockPot

Chicken Tacos in a CrockPot

I posted a recipe like this once before. I found the original one on Mel's Kitchen. A great website to get recipe ideas. 

Kyle and I made this chicken mixture in the crockpot before church, and then ate it with Soft Shell Tacos and Quac, sour cream, and cheese. 

YUMMY!

What you need:

• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (more if you like the heat)
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 2 chicken breasts (boneless skinless)
• 1 can diced tomatoes 
•   (I love the ones that have Italian seasoning)  Make sure you DRAIN these WELL!

For Tacos: 
Cheese, Sour Cream, Tortillas, Guac, etc.



What you do: 
Put the chicken on the bottom of the crockpot. 
Mix the brown sugar, tomatoes, and red pepper flakes in a seperate bowl. 
Pour your new delicious mixture over the chicken. 


Cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours.   ( I only cooked 4 hours and it was great)


Shred the chicken, and make a taco!!

Chicken Alfredo and Rice Casserole

Chicken Alfredo and Rice Casserole

I got this recipe off of the better homes and gardens website. Kyle made this for me on a Tuesday night. He said the directions seem easy but it did take a while to make. Ours came out a little dry, so I may buy the larger sized alfredo sauce instead. All in all really yummy though!

• 1  10-oz. container  refrigerated light Alfredo pasta sauce
• 1/2  cup  milk
• 2-1/2  cups  cooked white rice or wild rice ( I used white)
• 2  cups  cubed cooked chicken
• 1  cup  frozen peas
• 1/3  cup  chopped bottled roasted red sweet peppers (optional, I did NOT use these)
• 1/4  cup  slivered almonds, toasted (optional)  (we used whole almonds, and did not toast them)
• 1  Tbsp.  snipped fresh basil or 1/2 tsp. dried basil, crushed
• 1  cup  soft bread crumbs (made ours from read bread)
• 1  Tbsp.  butter, melted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In large bowl combine pasta sauce and milk. Stir in rice, chicken, peas, sweet peppers, nuts, and basil. Transfer to 1-1/2-quart baking dish.
2. Bake, covered, 30 minutes. Uncover and stir. Combine bread crumbs and melted butter; sprinkle atop. Bake, uncovered, 20 to 25 minutes more or until heated through and crumbs are golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serves 4.

Kyle said the leftovers were great! Try it out.
