Creamy Italian Chicken - Crock Pot Recipe

I found this recipe on another blog site recently and just had to try it out. I love crock pot recipes and am always looking for something new - especially on Sundays! It's nice to throw it in before church and then come home to a nice hot meal. All of us really liked this a lot. It's simple to throw together and is great served over rice! I also made some green beans and garlic toast to go with it. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Creamy Italian Chicken

4 frozen chicken breasts
1 - 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1/2 stick butter
1 pkg. Dry Good Seasons Italian Dressing

Place chicken in crock pot. Break cream cheese and butter into pieces and place all over top of chicken. Sprinkle Italian dressing packet over top and cook on low all day, or on high for 4 hours. Serve over rice.

Sandwich for a Crowd

I got this recipe from my sister years ago. It's a great sandwich to take to a party or luncheon, but it's also a favorite of my family just for a yummy lunch at home. It sounds so simple and it is, the spread is what makes it so great! I hope you try it out for your next get-together or just one day when you want something besides just a plain old turkey sandwich for lunch! Both of my kids love it - I hope yours will too!

Sandwich for a Crowd

2 loaves unsliced French Bread
1 pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 Cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 Cup chopped green onions
1/4 Cup Mayo
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 lb. deli ham, sliced thin
1 lb. deli turkey, sliced thin
Sandwich sliced dill pickles

Cut bread in half length-wise and hollow out top and bottom leaving about 1/2" shell.
With hand mixer, mix together cream cheese, cheddar cheese, onions, mayo, and worcestershire sauce. Spread on both sides of French bread. Layer ham and turkey over spread and then top with pickles. Gently press both halves together and wrap in saran wrap. Chill for 2 hours, slice and serve.

If you are making this and don't need 2 full sandwiches, just make up the spread and use only what you need. Keep the spread in an airtight container and refrigerate for several days using it as needed. (I do this a lot, if we just want it for lunch, I make about a half a loaf at a time and use it over the course of a few days.) Also, if I'm just making this for a quick lunch, I don't worry about chilling it, I just put it together and we eat! It's still great!
