Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken

An easy chicken dish, we all loved it and will be making it often!

Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken
4 chicken breasts
8 small red potatoes
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
2/3 can of water
2 tbsp Louisiana spice blend

Place chicken breasts and potatoes in a crockpot. Pour cream of chicken soup and water over them, then drizzle on the spice blend. Cover and cook 8 hours on low. Serves 4.

Fried Squash

A delicious way to use up excess squash and zucchini! The kids loved these, and so did I. These are addictive and can easily take the place of french fries or chips. They would also make a great appetizer.

Forgive me for not having actual amounts in this recipe -- I freehanded it! I used some oil in a saucepan, but if you have a deep fryer, even better.

Fried Squash
squash or zucchini
flour
Lawry's Seasoning Salt
canola oil

In a medium saucepan, heat about 2-3 inches of canola oil over medium-high heat. Slice squash into 1/4-inch pieces or so. In a bowl, combine flour and Lawry's until the mixture is a pale orange color. Dip slices into flour mixture until well coated, then drop pieces into hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Serve plain or with ranch dressing or other dressing of your choosing!
