Salsa Verde - 16oz (I bought some at Trader Joes but you could probably use any kind)
Canned Crushed Pineapple - 1 can
Put chicken in crock pot, pour salsa and pineapple over the top, cook on low for 6-8 hours. Once it's done it shreds pretty easily and you can use it in tortillas. You can also increase the amount you cook depending on the size of your crock pot.
I doubled the marinade, half with the chicken and half added later. Only because the recipe didn't say to reserve the marinade and I had tossed it by the time I got to that step.
Oooooh! Also, when I have a little extra cash, I like to make Pesto Chicken (allrecipes app)
The recipe calls for 4 chicken breast halves but I buy chicken tenderloins, they're a little smaller and generally cheaper. Anyway, here's the recipe:
4 chicken breast halves (or a container of tenderloins)
1/2 c to 1 c basil pesto (depending on how much you love pesto)
4 thin slices of prosciutto "or more if needed" (the containers I buy from Costco have at least 8 slices)
1. Preheat oven to 400
2. Grease baking dish (or, what I do, take a wire rack and place it on top of a foil wrapped cookie sheet)
3. Spread "about" 2 T of pesto per chicken breast over the top of the breast/tenderloin (or smother the shit out of the whole piece of chicken, like I did) and wrap each breast/tenderloin in prosciutto slices to cover the entire breast/tenderloin. Place into prepared baking dish.
4. Bake until chicken is no longer pink, the juices run clear, and the prosciutto is lightly crisp, about 25min.
According to allrecipes, it's supposed to be about 311 cal/serving, but if you added the extra pesto, that number is clearly wrong. Anyway, it tastes like a fancy meal but its simple and stores pretty well (if you reheat at a lower power level). I eat it with asparagus and either mashed potatoes or a baked sweet potato. Oh, and you can sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top or top with a slice of provolone. Whichever cheese you like best.
Edit: I wasn't sure if everyone learned about cooking in middle school the way I did, where tablespoon was represented by "T" and teaspoon was represented by "t", so when I say 2 T, I mean 2 tablespoons.

Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Serve with additional cheese, if desired.
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 1 pound spaghetti 1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli 3 cloves garlic 5 tablespoons olive oil salt to taste ground black pepper to taste 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Sprinkle chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper. Grill or broil until no longer pink. Cube cooked chicken. Prepare broccoli according to package directions, and drain well. Prepare spaghetti according to package directions. Drain well. Process garlic cloves with garlic press, and combine with olive oil. Toss pasta with chicken, broccoli, and garlic/oil combination. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
4 eggs 2 cups sugar 1 can 16oz pumpkin 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil(olive oil works too) 3 cups all purpose flour 2 tsp baking soda 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp salt 2 cups chocolate chips
In a large mixing bowl beat eggs, sugar, pumpkin, and oil until smooth. Combine flour baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon amd salt; add to pumpkin mixture and mix well. Fold in chocolate chips. Fill greased or paper lined muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 400° for 16-20 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool in pan ten minutes before removing to wire rack. Yield: about 24 standard size muffins
They are my fave breakfast. Use whatever cheese you want and I add more than "a pinch". I also don't have a proper muffin tin… So, mine are about half the size. If you don't have a muffin 10, just get rid of some of the egg white before putting into potatoes. Otherwise, you'll have an overflow of egg
I just realized that I never added my (well, my friend's) Chicken Marsala recipe!
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 T butter (or olive oil) 1 onion (I buy a small/medium), chopped 1 1/4 c mushrooms (I buy the bigger package at the store), sliced 1 1/2 c marsala wine (I use the Marsala from the liquor section, but the cooking wine works, too) 3/4 c chicken broth 1 T Worcester sauce 1/2 c whipping cream 2 T corn starch Salt & pepper - the amount depends on how much you like salt/pepper. I used *maybe* 1t salt and 1 1/2t pepper
1. Lightly coat crock pot w/ non-stick cooking spray (optional). Season raw chicken with salt and pepper, and arrange evenly at the bottom of the pot.
2. Sauté onion and mushrooms in a large saucepan until onions are translucent. Add marsala & continue cooking for 2-3 min. Add broth, Worcester sauce, and salt and pepper. Stir until well mixed and bubbly.
3. Pour mixture over chicken. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
4. Transfer chicken to cutting board. Blend whipping cream and corn starch until smooth, add to pot. Cook for an additional 15-20min or until sauce has thickened.
5. Slice or cube chicken and mix back into pot. Serve hot.
We usually eat this with pasta (egg noodles), but I'm sure you could sub noodles for another side.
2 packs French Onion soup/dip mix (or regular onion, not a big difference)
1/4 c. bread crumbs
Preheat oven to 400. In put eggs in one bowl (mix them up a bit) and in another mix the onion soup mix and bread crumbs. Dip porkchops (one at a time) in the egg first, then smother the chops with the onion soup/breadcrumb mix. Cook (I believe) 10min per side.
Tube of cinnamon rolls (I used pillsbury grands. Be careful what brand you buy, some don't actually unroll)
If you live near Cinnabon or another cinnamon roll place, buy extra icing!
Unroll each roll from the tube. Take strips of uncooked or lightly cooked bacon (1 per cinnamon roll) and roll into the cinnamon roll. Bake as directed on package. Add icing. Add the extra icing. BLOW YOUR MIND.

@20thirteen this was a lot of work but totally worth it!!!! So Delish
@freeatlast2014 I've played with the recipe too, I add more marsala and less whipping cream, gives more flavor to the dish. Next time I'm going to try flour instead of corn starch as well.
Found a new favorite potato soup recipe! I got it off Facebook but don't know who exactly I'm crediting for it.
1 30oz bag of frozen diced hashbrowns
1 32oz box of chicken broth
1 10oz can of cream of chicken soup
1 pkg. cream cheese (8oz, not fat free)
3 oz of bacon bits
Optional (if you're weird)
Shredded cheddar cheese
more bacon
salt and pepper to taste
Put potatoes in the crock pot. Add in the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup and half the bacon bits (I put all the bacon in). Add a pinch of salt and pepper. (I did not do this)
Cook on low for 7 hours or until potatoes are tender. Cut cream cheese into cubes and place cubes in the crock pot and continue cooking on low for 1 hour, stirring a few times throughout the hour. When the cream cheese is completely mixed in, the soup is ready to serve.
Top with cheddar cheese and MORE BACON. Deeeeeeeee-licious.
I make it a little differently than in this blog. The recipe says to add 3/4 of a can of red kidney beans and 3/4 of a can of white kidney beans (canellini), I just add the whole can. Because I love beans. I also didn't think she added enough cheese, so I added about 4-5 oz of Velveeta cheese on top of the 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese. Sheesh, what's with this chick and 3/4?

It's SOOOO good! I also used a hotter pepper and more of it, so my chili is HOT.
And I made this the other night, but I tweaked it.
