Crock pot: "Chicken and dressing" and Yay Beer!
Before I had tried to make the 'chicken and orange soda - five ingredient or less crock pot cooking', I bought a couple five ingredient or less cook books. One of them has not a single recipe with less than eight ingredients. That both amuses me and confuses me. Do they think that people don't count? Or did they just not care?
Some of the recipes sound just totally horrible. The worst was:
Place chicken in crock pot.
Place entire jar of pickles (juice and pickles) in crock pot.
Cook for eight hours.
I can't imagine how that would taste. Or make your house smell. I do like pickles, but... *shudder*
Anyway, chicken and dressing! I've never really understood what "dressing" is (stuffing? gravy? All the "fixings"?), but it seemed like one of the best recipes in the book, so even though I had a few doubts (making stuffing in a crock pot..?) I tried it.
Place 4 boneless chicken breasts in (salt and pepper'ing it as you do).
Place piece of swiss cheese on each breast.
Pour two cans of cream of chicken soup in.
Pour (some amount I don't remember) chicken broth in.
(Note: We're up to five ingredients here, if you count S&P together as one!)
Place a box of stuffing in.
Melt stick of butter, pour over stuffing.
Cook 6-8 hours.
I hate stuffing in the bird (mushy = yucky!), I like it crunchy on top, so I thought this would be doom. Surprisingly, the stuffing was outstanding! Only the edges got soggy, where the soup had bubbled up.
The whole thing was amazingly good, though must have been horrible calorie-wise (hi whole stick of butter and two cans of cream-based soup!). Unfortunately the leftovers didn't taste quite as good the next night.

We need commercials like that here! :D
Edit: So much goodness on my flist today! Cracky music video with a ton of anime, Harry Potter, Avatar, game characters, LotR, and more! I keep watching it again and again to try to see everything!
