It's Sunday! My favorite day of the week! And, Boy, has it been a hectic weekend! Well, Friday... not so much. Friday was nice and relaxing... I kicked back with a cup of tea and my new book (Act like a Lady, Think like a Man by Steve Harvey) and took advantage of a quiet house! I was in bed by 10pm!~ Needless to say, I didn't make/eat dinner on Friday night.
Yesterday was dedicated to all things Madison (my fabulous employer) as we hosted a seminar a little over 2 hours away in Poughkeepsie, NY! So, yes, I made the trip, we signed up a few new recruits, and a bunch of the consultants went to dinner immediately following at T.G.I. Fridays! It was so delicious! I ate far too much! Of course, being the penny pincher I've quickly become I opted for the 3 for $16.99 meal! I had awesome potstickers, and a nice little steak with some mashed potatoes, and then of course Vanilla Bean Cheesecake! I was so full on the ride home that I thought I was going to have to find out just how stain resistant our bags were! I managed to keep it all down but quickly went to bed as soon as I returned home, as my stomach was hatin' on me.
Let's get down to it! As I had mentioned before, it's SUNDAY! And... Sunday's are for football and crockpot cooking! I'm getting a late start, as I've been pretty lazy all morning... Yes, I took full advantage of my "do nothing" day! (I truly loved every minute of both naps I took).
For tonight, I'm making Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing from a little magazine which is quickly becoming a fav, the Fix-it and Forget-it 5-ingredient slow-cooker recipes magazine. This was so super easy to throw together! I hope it's just as delicious?! We'll see!
Chicken and Stuffing
from the Fix-it and Forget-it 5-ingredient slow-cooker recipes magazine (2010)
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 6 oz. box of stuffing mix
- 16 oz. pkg of frozen whole-kernel corn (I used mixed veggies, since it's all we had!)
- 1/2 stick (1/4 c.) butter, melted
Place chicken in the bottom of the slow-cooker.
Combine remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl, and spoon over chicken.
Cover and cook on high for 2-2 1/2 hours or until chicken is tender and stuffing is dry.
That's it!
This recipe literally took me 5 minutes prep time! And the best part, it'll be done just before dinner time! :)
Here's to hoping it's something good! I'll let you know after dinner!
Happy Sunday!

Not to toot my own horn or anything-- but, TOOT! TOOT!
OMG That meal was the best meal I've made yet! I am totally loving this. With a super quick prep time consisting of all of 5 minutes, and only 2-3 hours of cook time the entire meal could not have been any easier or any more delicious! It was totally a hit!
I ended up cooking the meal for 2 1/2 hours then turning it over to the warm setting for an additional half-hour while I (impatiently) waited for everyone to get home! I was definitely expecting the chicken to be a little dry since it technically cooked an hour longer than it should've but IT WASN'T! I am thrilled to report that it was not the least bit dry! Which is huge, because I am not a big fan of chicken to begin with... primarily because my Mom's chicken was ALWAYS dry growing up!
Another thing I absolutely LOVED about this dish, is that it was a complete meal in and of itself! I didn't have to make any sides, or any veggies to accompany it... everything was included! ...and did I mention it tasted totally amazing?!
My Dad went back for seconds, while Momma and I were SO full from our first helpings, we couldn't even consider seconds! ...ok, that's a lie... I totally contemplated seconds (because it was so yummy!) but quickly decided I was too full! I am confident that JD would've been impressed... not to mention full! This will most certainly be the next meal I make for him! :)
I think the next time I make this (which is sure to be VERY soon...) I will try adding a little chicken broth and cooking it on low for maybe 4-6 hours. I'll definitely use whole-kernel corn as the original recipe calls for, as well. My mixed veggies weren't bad all all but they did lose their color (but not their taste!) quite a bit, so the presentation could've been slightly more vibrant!
Verdict: TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!
(Especially for an easy prep, SUPER QUICK, complete meal!
