Italian Crockpot Chicken

I made this yesterday for my in-laws. They come over once a month to have dinner with us. They really enjoyed it. Chloe even ate the chicken!

Italian Crock Pot Chicken
5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cans cream of chicken soup, 11 ounces
1 package cream cheese, softened, 8 ounces
1 package Good Seasons Italian Dressing mix
4 cups rice

Put chicken on bottom of greased slow cooker. Combine soup, cream cheese, and dressing mix. Pour over chicken. Cook on high for 5 hours, or low for 8-10 hours. Shred chicken with forks in the crock pot and let sit for a few minutes before serving. Cook rice according to package directions. Top rice with chicken and sauce.

Side Note: Instead of rice I cook egg noodles and top it with the chicken and sauce. I also added frozen peas (defrost in microwave before adding) at the very end and Josh really liked how it added more flavor.

I originally got this recipe from www.Simplifysupper.com

Wingers Sticky Fingers

These were so yummy! I made these for the whole family at our family reunion. We were camping so that's why the picture was taken on a paper plate. I bought the

Tyson breaded chicken strips and then baked them in the oven. Some websites say to fry them. The receipe says that the sauce will cover 8 sticky fingers, but I found I had some leftover so I'm sure it will cover at least 10.

Sauce:

Covers about 8 sticky fingers

3 Tbsp. Franks Hot Sauce (They say it has to be Franks Hot Sauce)

3/4 c. brown sugar

2 Tbsp. water

Mix together in a sauce pan. I brought it to a boil and let it simmer for a few minutes. Put chicken fingers in a large container with a lid. Pour sauce over the chicken. Put the lid on and shake the sauce around to coat all the pieces.

I made a salad then chopped up some of the sticky fingers to add to it. Josh had his in a tortilla like a wrap. You'll want to use a little ranch to help tone down the hot. I just used a bottle of ranch dressing, but I've seen on other websites they actually made the ranch dressing from a packet.
