CROCK POT 7UP CHICKEN AND RICE

My husband and I love this recipe!!!  Once again.......many internet versions so I adapted to our liking.

Adapted from :  http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2012/03/slow-cooker-7up-chicken-rice.html

 

INGREDIENTS



 

6 chicken breasts (4-6 oz. each)

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 box Minute Rice -  I only use Uncle Ben's chicken flavor - Makes it AWESOME!!!

12 oz. lemon lime soda

1/2 cup chicken broth

2 Tbsp. dried onion flakes

 

 

DIRECTIONS

 

Spray your crockpot with nonstick spray. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.  Spread the soup over the chicken breasts, then pour the lemon-lime soda over the top.  Cook on low for 2-3 hours.  Put rice on top of the chicken, making sure that the rice is immersed in the liquid.  Mix the seasoning packet from the rice mix with the chicken broth, along with the onion flakes.  Pour over the chicken and rice mixture.  Continue to cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.

The type of rice mix I use - would not make it any other way!!!

SWEET TURKEY CHILI

My famous (with family and friends) sweet turkey chili.  If you are looking for spicy, this one is not for you.  If you like things sweet, then this is perfect!  I grew up with chili that had a high tomato base and very mild.  I like a bit more spice now than I did then, but the family likes it sweet.  If my hubby wants spicy he just throws in some tabasco sauce and he is good to go.  This is a way I can sneak some veggies past the kids.  You could add your own ingredients and spices to make it your own.

 

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. lean 93/7 ground turkey
1/2 Tbsp. onion flakes (or more)
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1/2 Tbsp. sugar or sugar substitute
1/2 tsp. mined garlic
2 cans chili beans in mild sauce
1 can petite diced tomatoes
1/4 cup ketchup

DIRECTIONS

Slow Cooker -  Brown meat with onion, garlic, and spices.  Drain and put in slow cooker.  Add beans and tomatoes and cook on Low for at least 4 hours.

Microwave -  Place ground turkey, onion, and spices in a microwave safe bowl.  Cook for 5 minutes and stir.  Cook for another 5 minutes.  Add the beans, tomatoes, and ketchup and stir.  Cook for 10-15 more minutes (stirring every 5 minutes).  Serve

***I use my bean pot from Celebrating Home for my microwave chili.  It is wonderful!  I am not a consultant, but you can contact one - they have many styles.
