Here is our recipe for what we made for dinner tonight (it was super yummy!) We've made some variations to the original recipe which you can find here. The potatoes are my own random creation tonight and I've tucked them away in my brain for future dinners! :) This meal also goes well with some homemade bread a la The Virtuous Wife and her honey wheat bread tutorial.
The changes we made were for a more kid friendly meal. Everything is healthy and fairly easy to pick up!
Chicken Cordon Bleu (crock pot style!)
Ingredients:
1. 2 chicken breasts
2. Ham (sliced or cubed-we've used both)
3. One can of cream of mushroom-low sodium (you could probably use cream of celery too)
4. One cup of milk (we use fat free/skim)
5. Swiss cheese (about half of a block)
6. Garlic salt
7. Sea salt
8. Worcestershire
9. Season Salt
10. A crock pot! (duh :-P)
I changed the recipe from what was actually written and it turned out way better this way! I've done it as the original and then on my own.
Directions:
1. Combine cream of mushroom and milk in a bowl.
2. Add garlic salt, season salt, Worcestershire, and sea salt (I do this to taste--whatever amount you like!)
3. Put about half of the mixture in the bottom of the crock pot.
4. Cut chicken into bite size cubes and place on top
---this is a change---the original recipe calls for full chicken breasts
5. Place ham cubes in on top
---this is a change---the original recipe calls for sliced ham (we use cubed so our 1 yr old can pick it up easily)
6. Pour the rest of the mixture from step 1 into the pot. (mix a little so it evens out)
7. Cute the swiss cheese into slices (however thick you'd like) and lay it over the top until it's covered
8. Calorie adding step :) sprinkle seasoned bread crumbs on top, melt 2 tbs of butter and pour over top
9. Let this cook for 4-6 hours on low or 2-4 hours on high.
Rosemary Red Potato Fries:
Ingredients:
1. Red potatoes
2. Extra virgin olive oil
3. Rosemary
4. Garlic Salt
5. Sea Salt
Directions:
1. Take your red potatoes and cut them into small strips (not too small! They will shrink a bit from cooking)
2. Toss them all in a mixing bowl
3. Pour in EVOO (extra virgin olive oil!), rosemary, garlic salt, and sea salt (to taste as always!)
4. Gently mix them together in the bowl. You can use your hands if you don't mind getting messy, I use a spoon :)
5. Spray your pan with some Pam (no sticking please!)
6. Spread out your cute little potatoes and make sure none of them are on top of each other.
7. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
8. Stick the pan in the oven for 15-20 minutes and then take them out, flip them over and cook for another 15-20 minutes. Time varies for your likeness of crispyness.
9. Take them out of the oven, turn the oven off, and let them cool for a few minutes and serve!
Where's the veggie!?
We totally failed on this count tonight. Usually we toss squash, zucchini, onions, mushrooms, and carrots together and steam them. I usually add garlic salt and season salt and then something else that goes well with what we're eating. It all depends. You could totally argue that potatoes are veggies if you'd like :)
