Menu Monday: Easy Chicken Dinner
My beautiful friend Chrissy posted this recipe on her blog.….and I just had to try it!
Her blog is called “I’m No Martha,” but don’t let that fool you….
She’s truly a sister who loves and serves her husband, her children, her friends….but best of all—-she loves the Lord and wants to please Him!
(That puts her about 1000 notches above Martha….in my book) 🙂
(No offense, Martha.)
(Because I’m sure you read this blog.)
(Daily.)

Crock-Pot Chicken Dinner
4-6 Chicken Breasts (frozen or thawed)
2 Cans Whole New Potatoes, drained (I used 4 regular potatoes, diced)
1/2 Bag Baby Carrots
1 Can each – Cream of Chicken and Cream of Mushroom Soup
Salt, Pepper, Garlic and Onion Powder to taste (I used one packet of Onion Soup instead!)
“Dump it in your crock-pot, stir, set to high for 4-5 hours or low for 6-8 hours. Easy, peezy, lemon squeezy.” – Chrissy
I layered it like this:
- 4 cubed raw potatoes (prob. less than $.50)
- carrots (half of a $.99 bag, so $.50)
- chicken (so the chicken juices would season the veggies) ($2 from The Box)
- packet of Onion Soup (several packets came in the box, so around $.50)
- Cream of Chicken/Cream of Mushroom Soups stirred together (stocked up at $.50 each)
I put this in right before church on Sunday(on high), and when we opened the front door at about 1:15, we were almost knocked over by the awesome SMELL!
While I was separating the chicken and veggies into serving dishes, my 6 year old peeked into the crockpot, and then started running around the house yelling, “GRAVY ALERT…..GRAVY ALERT!!!” (That prompted me to fill a separate bowl full of “gravy”!)
During the meal she announced that we were having a FEAST today…..
Hmm…..a feast…..for $4.50…..
not bad. Not bad at all.
Thanks, Chrissy

JustCookAlready made this chicken, which looks similar to the end product! Great Job!
Love being encouraged by and learning from my sisters in Christ,
(Trying out a fancy schmancy new signature today) 🙂

I just printed this up – I know what we’ll be having some Sunday soon!
I just put this on for lunch tomorrow. I doubled the gravy bit to stretch it over a few days by adding rice to it as well.
Sounds yummy! Thanks so much for linking up this week! I appreciate it =)
This looks delicious! I’m going to try this soon!
This looks just yummy! Thank you for sharing …I love to see recipes on All Things Inspired! Keep ’em coming!

I’ll have to try this. Dump and cook crockpot meals are my favorite. Visiting from It’s a Keeper.
This sounds delicious and we will try this at our house this week. I just found your lovely blog and i will visit again. I might have to call this “Gravy Alert Chicken” when I serve it. My gang loves gravy. Thank you for sharing this.
Oh, this sounds so yummy. I already have it bookmarked. Your blog sounds like my kind of place.

I’m visiting from Amanda’s.
I am a crockpot momma! This looks yum. Reminds me a lot of a recipe I make called Crockpot Sunday Roast- same idea, just minus the onion soup mix.
Hi there,
I think I need to try this one…
Thanks
