Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie Stew! Oh MY!

WARNING!  If you do not have SELF CONTROL, then do NOT make this if you have trouble stopping with one serving . . . not helping, serving! 

I got the recipe off of allrecipes.com and searched for slow cooker chicken recipes. 

I changed the recipe a bit; so I am going to give it to you as I made it.  You can adjust and make it your own as I did; but it's super great and super easy!

3 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts cut into small bites
2 1/2 medium red potatoes, quartered
1/2 cup baby carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of celery
1 tsp Chicken Base (I thought it was too salty, so the next time I fix this I will not add it. Chris thought it was perfect . . . so it depends on your salt taste.)
1/2 tsp Garlic Salt
Black Pepper
16 ounces frozen mixed vegetables

Combine chicken, potatoes, carrots, celery, soup, chicken base, garlic salt, black pepper in crock pot.  Cook on high for 4 hours.

Stir in frozen mixed veggies into the slow cooker and cook 1 hour more.

The recipe showed serving it over biscuits; well I didn't have any and WAS NOT going to make them from scratch (would have defeated the purpose of crock pot cookin' to me!); so I pulled out good ole Pillsbury Crescents! 

It was FANTASTIC!  Yes, biscuits would have been better; but wow! 

I have been really trying to watch my eating; and started to not even eat this; but I had a very small portion with one crescent and am full!  It does not take much to satisfy; promise!

Hope you enjoy!

Good Ole' Chicken Pot Pie!

Well, I sure thought today would be a better day with my teeth, or lack of I guess I should say. Doc had to pack more of that nasty tasting stuff in my sockets this morning. I found out I'll be going back again Thursday and then again Monday... Aaaghhh! Will it ever be over?!

My youngest daughter has been on a movie kick lately. She loves The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. She calls it the "Lion Movie." She watches it every single day. Now, that might give a poor reflection on me, but hey, if it gives me down time, and she will sit still...I'm all for it. She's so stubborn that she just won't take naps; if I put her in her room, she plays and jumps and breaks things, so at least this way, she is monitored and I can ... what's that word...rest... Sigh:) Kaitlyn talks during the entire movie. Every day she asks the same questions at the same point, yet when I, out of frustration say, "oh Kaitlyn, I don't know." She then tells me the answer to what she was asking! I wonder why that is?

I had a Chicken Pot Pie in the freezer, since I'm hurting, that's what we are having for dinner. This isn't just any ole' Chicken Pot Pie though, it's a recipe I got from my Mammow...yum. I don't know where she got it from, but man it is wonderful! At one time I was making them and selling them to people in our church. With all the turmoil in our life, it's kind of fallen by the way-side. I looked into trying to start a little "mom-n-pop" place so I could sell my pies and casseroles, but that door never opened. I even looked into selling them from home, but due to state and county regulations, that didn't happen either. Oh well, I know the Lord knows my heart and He is the one that gave me the passion and desire to feed people, and I do know that His timing is perfect. I'll just keep telling myself that:) With the economy like it is right now, I suppose it is best that doors were kept shut.

Time to get that pot pie in the oven.

More another day.
