Chicken & Waffles

My nana used to make these with leftover chicken and they were soo good. So I finally got to use my Cuisinart Waffle Maker we got for the wedding... and I figured I would test it out on chicken and waffles. Delicious. And I just froze the extra waffles that the batter made and had them for breakfast on a Saturday Morning.

Ingredients

For chicken mixture:

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
flour
1 pkg of Lipton golden mushroom soup mix


Chicken Broth

For waffles:

2 cups all purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt


1- 3/4 cups milk
6 tbsp vegetable oil
2 large eggs



I placed the chicken in the crockpot iwth the golden mushroom soup mix and chicken broth and left it cook for 6 hours or until it falls apart. After 6 hours- I made a gravy paste with flour and water and added it to the chicken to make a gravy. I shredded the chicken and left it to cook for another 30 minutes to thicken up the gravy.

Waffles- I got this recipe from the recipe book the waffle maker came with

Place ingredients in a large mixing bowl and combine until well blended and smooth. Let batter sit 5 minutes before using. And just make waffles according to your waffle maker.

Enjoy!!

The hub and I usually like pork and sauerkraut. I found this and figured I would try this. He loved this more than pork and sauerkraut. I found it from a recipe book I have from Betty Crocker.

1/2 tsp salt

16 oz frozen small whole onions

16 oz Bavarian-style sauerkraut undrained

1/2 cup dark beer

1/4 cup flour

1 tbsp ground mustard



Heat oil in skillet over medium high. Cook beef for 5 minutes or until all sides are browned. Sprinkle with salt. Place beef in a 5-6qt slow cooker. Place onions, sauerkraut and 1/4 cup beer around beef. Cover and cook on Low 6-8 hours.

Remove beef from cooker-(cover to keep warm). Mix flour, remaining 1/4 cup beer and mustard in bowl. Gradually stir into juices in cooker. Increase heat to high. Cover and cook 15-30 minutes or until slightly thickened. Serve beef with juices.

Salsa Chicken

This was definitely an easy meal. The hubby is the one who usually cooks using the crock pot but this time I took over the crockpot. Delicious and easy. I found the recipe on Lovestoeat blog!! Thanks

Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup salsa Fresh made
1 package reduced sodium taco seasoning
1 can reduced fat cream of mushroom soup or cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream.


Add chicken to the slow cooker. Sprinkle taco seasoning over chicken. Mix salsa and soup together and pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. I shredded the chicken wiht a four- stir in sour cream until heated and served over rice. You can obviously serve it over noodles- or with tortillas.


Enjoy!
