First Night of Crock Pot Chicken


I generally like to feed everyone right when I walk in the door. I find after everyone is immediately fat and happy, 1) they tend to hold better conversations and 2)eventually go away and leave me alone.

Then while I'm doing what I need to do, I make whatever I'm going to make for the next dinner. Yesterday I made a crock pot chicken that I bought on sale and threw in the freezer.

Add the following to the baking dish/crock pot:

One whole chicken, cleaned and cut up

and

Campbell's Soup Gravy

one can Cream of Celery Campbell's Healthy Request soup
2 tbsn onion flakes
1 tsp tarragon
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp white pepper
Fresh or dried parsley for color

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes
Or in a crock pot on high for 3 hours

Or Best Method: Until the meat thermometer indicates done.

I like this served with 2 cup jasmine rice boiled in 4 cups water, then put on low heat uncovered with 1 tbsn butter until the water is gone. But minute rice or egg noodles are good too. Make a lot so you can make the next recipe too.

Vegi Alert! The tarragon in the gravy goes very well with frozen green beans. Again, make a bunch and put the rest in the fridge for the next day.
