Hello!
With picnics, family reunions, and everyday meals, it’s hard to come up with delicious recipes that are easy, quick and economical.
It seems that sandwiches are always a welcome dish at any event, and yes, even that special Sunday dinner. It also seems like most people bring dishes that don’t include meat. This week’s recipe does just that.
I first experienced this wonderful dish when I worked in Hilliard. A friend brought it in one day just because, so we all had sandwiches. It was very good, and of course knowing me, I just had to have the recipe. She shared it with me, and I have made this many, many times. I have also changed it up and added to it.
I like this chicken dish in different ways. If you are taking it to a get-together, of course you want to take buns with you. If I’m making it at home, I like to pour it over mashed potatoes, sometimes even rice, and I have even tried it over biscuits. It’s versatile and warm and it’s a comfort dish. The flavors that come together in this dish are perfect.
Now, this happens to make a small crockpot full. You can easily cut back on the recipe and just make half, or you can also make the full recipe and just freeze it for later. I don’t think I have ever brought back anything but an empty crockpot.
It’s been a while since I made this, so I brought my little crockpot with the ingredients to work with me. I had all my ingredients with me, so I just added it all in the crockpot and turned it on low first thing in the morning. It filled the office with such a wonderful smell. By lunchtime it was ready, and yes, it brought rave reviews and I was asked for the recipe. So, I decided to make it easy and just write about it.
