A simple yet amazingly good recipe.
Creates ~4-6 servings.
Ingredients:
- 1 chicken breast (optional: with fat still on)
- 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
- 1 can Chicken Broth (or refill Soup can with broth and use that, ~1 cup)
- 4-6 medium potatoes, cut into ~1″ cubes
- 2 large carrots, diced (optional)
- Salt, pepper, and dried minced garlic/garlic blend (season to taste)
Instructions:
- Layer potatoes (and carrots) into the bottom of a 2-4 qt crock pot.
- Place chicken in next, then pour Cream of Chicken Soup and chicken broth over top.
- Add seasonings and gently mix. You want the chicken breast mostly submerged.
- Cook on low for 5-6 hours, high for 3-4.
- When food is almost done/done, remove chicken breast and place on heat resistant cutting board. Remove fat (if necessary) and cube or shred the chicken. Put back into the crock pot and gently mix.
- Serve over rice.

I’m not a culinary mind, so bear with me: why wait until near end of cooking to cube chicken?
Cubing the chicken at the beginning is fine, too. When cooking in the crockpot, I use chicken breasts straight from the freezer and I don’t always cube the chicken before freezing. 🙂
She often shreds it instead of cubing it, and thats easier to do with whole pieces once cooked. I think the shredded adds something good to the mix, myself, over cubed.
Yeah, I love the chicken when shredded. Also forgot to note that you can add carrots to make it a more complete meal.
Just make sure you notify other eaters that carrots are in it…the one time I started eating a bowl while watching a movie in a dark room, I thought there was one righteously mutated potato in there. Silly carrots.
Warning: Tonight’s Creamy Chicken has carrots in it. 😛
