Tasty Tuesday

After a terrible Sunday afternoon of me feeling nauseous, and only having soup and sandwiches for dinner, I have decided that I need to do more crockpot recipes-especially on Sunday. Who wants to use their oven during the summer? I sure don't. So here is a tried and true crockpot dinner that hopefully your whole family loves. If you would like more slowcooker recipe ideas, go here.
Updated Chicken Cordon Bleu


Serves 8


8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp white pepper (I just used black pepper)
1 tsp dried thyme leaves
8 thin slices boiled ham
2 onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (16 oz) bag baby carrots
1 (16 oz) jar Alfredo sauce
1 (10 oz) can cream of chicken soup
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese


1. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and thyme. Wrap a slice of ham around each breast and secure with toothpicks.
2. Place onion, garlic, and carrots in a 5 to 6 quart slow cooker. Top with wrapped chicken breasts. I decided to cook my veggies in my steamer and serve them on the side instead.
3. In medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Pour into slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Serve chicken and carrots with sauce.
I served my chicken on top of brown rice with the sauce on the top.

And just so you know, I am NOT pregnant. It's just that when I take my multi-vitamin, it makes me nauseous and dizzy. So, don't go starting any rumors now.
