Super Yummy EASY Chicken Salad Sandwiches

Ingredients
4 - 6 chicken breast or 2-3lb's
16 oz. jar of sliced banana peppers
4 Tbsp diced garlic

Crusty Rolls
Tomato
Sliced Cheese

Place chicken  breasts, jar of banana peppers including juice, and garlic in the crock pot.  Add Salt and Pepper to taste.    Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours.  About an hour prior to it being done stick a fork in the chicken and it will shred so easily in the crock pot.  Once done the shredded chicken will soak up even more of the juices.

When ready to eat cut your rolls in half on one side put your cheese and tomato and other piece put your chicken.  Set your oven to broil and toast it open faced.

Garlic Chicken

Garlic Chicken

 5-6 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast 
1 can cream of mushroom
½ pint whipping cream (the small one)
Garlic Salt
Paprika

I have made this chicken from raw and frozen and it tastes better if the chicken is raw.  Place chicken in casserole dish and sprinkle each chicken breast with garlic salt and paprika.  Flip the breasts over and repeat.

In a separate bowl mix the cream of mushroom and the whipping cream and spoon over the chicken.
Bake at 350 for 90 minutes.

This is excellent served over rice.

I double the sauce ingredients.

This would probably really yummy in the crock pot I just haven't done that yet.

Ritz Chicken



This recipe is a family fave and super easy.

Chicken Breasts
2 sleeves of Ritz crackers
a bit of olive oil

Drizzle a couple tablespoons of olive oil in a bowl (enough to coat chicken).  Crush crackers I use a food processor but you could put them in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin or something.  Then put them on a plate or dish.  Take chicken breast dip in olive oil and then coat chicken in cracker crust.  Then place on baking sheet.  Cook for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

This is a very moist yummy chicken breast.  ENJOY!
