That chicken stuff you serve over rice

When I had Mima a lady from the ward brought over some really good chicken stuff you have on rice.  Maybe creamy chicken stuff would be a better name for it.  Anyways, I asked her for the recipe and I'm finally getting around to making it tomorrow (you know, if the plan works out).  It was way good, though, and I'm sick of searching through my email for it every  time I think about making it, so here it is.  Her words, not mine:

Here is the recipe.

 

4 frozen chicken breasts

2 packets good seasoning italian dressing mix (I use zesty italian, and I only use about 1 and 1/2 packets)

1 package of cream cheese

1 can cream of chicken soup

lemon pepper ( the original recipe does not call for lemon pepper, I just think it adds a bit more flavor.)

 

In crockpot combine chicken and dressing mix. Amount of water varies. At least 2 cups. Cook on low for 7-8 hours. do not drain water. Add cream cheese, soup and a dash of lemon pepper. Cook on low for another hour or so. Serve over rice.

Roasted Vegetables

These roasted vegetables have totally been hitting the spot lately.  I use potatoes and yellow squash, because that's what I have, but the original recipe called for butternut squash and a bunch of other stuff.  Pretty much just use whatever you have.

Ingredients:

1 gallon-size ziplock bag almost full of vegetables cut into bite-sized pieces (the vegetables, not the bag)

1/3 cup olive oil

1 tsp dried rosemary

1 tsp dried thyme 

1 tsp dried oregano (I always put in extra)

1 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 tsp salt

3/4 tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil

Mix everything in the ziplock bag.  Don't turn it upside down.  It's a bad idea every time no matter how many times you do it.

Put them all on the cookie sheet and roast for 45-55 minutes turning every 15 minutes (or not, I always forget)

Veggies should be tender on the inside and browned on the outside.  The browned part is the best.

Serve immediately

*Just as a note, I can't follow directions and don't expect you to either.  You can't really mess this up.  It's way yummy no matter what you do.
