Sour Cream Pork Chops, from Shauna

INGREDIENTS
6 pork chops
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 cubes chicken bouillon
2 cups boiling water
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
DIRECTIONS
Season pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and then dredge in 1/2 cup flour. In a skillet over medium heat, lightly brown chops in a small amount of oil.
Place chops in slow cooker, and top with onion slices. Dissolve bouillon cubes in boiling water (I just use chicken stock usually) and pour over chops. Cover, and cook on Low 7 to 8 hours.

After the chops have cooked, remove chops. Be careful, the chops are so tender they will fall apart. In a small bowl, blend 2 tablespoons flour with the sour cream; mix into meat juices. Turn slow cooker to High for 15 to 30 minutes, or until sauce is slightly thickened. Serve sauce over pork chops on egg noodles or rice.

Frozen Chicken Fix, an idea from Shauna

If you have frozen chicken tenders, put them in a skillet with some EVOO, put the lid on, and they'll be done in 10 min. If you use frozen chicken breasts, it takes 20 min. Turn them once, and if they look dry, add some water or chicken stock. Flavor how you want. I believe these directions are on the bag of chicken..

Roasted Chicken, an idea from Shauna

Okay, the second chicken is in the crockpot. I put a packet of italian seasoning on it, and some garlic cloves inside.

Roasted Crockpot Chicken, an idea from Shauna

I put the chicken in the crock pot for 8 hours, on low. I put some poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, and butter on the chicken, and let er rip. No water! It created so much juice on it's own it was grossly fascinating. I basted it twice while cooking. My complaint was that it wasn't seasoned enough and it was suggested to put spices (maybe a bunch of whole spices in a cheesecloth bag?) in the cavity. Or do a rub under the skin.

Angel chicken from Shauna

Angel Chicken

1 can golden mushroom soup
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 package (4 oz) cream cheese
1 package dry Italian dressing seasoning
Raw rotisserie chicken (or chicken breasts, or cooked chicken)

Add all ingredients into slow cooker, and cook until thick and creamy. If you use cooked chicken, add it in the last 1/2 hour or so.

I serve it over angel hair pasta (hence the name). Not the healthiest meal, but yum!
