Easy Chicken Pot Pie


 1 bag of frozen chicken tenderloins

2 cans of cream of potato soup

½ cup skim milk

1 bag of frozen mixed veggies

1 tsp thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

1 can of Pillsbury light crescent rolls

Thaw the chicken. Mix all ingredients in the crock pot, except for the crescent rolls. Add the thawed chicken and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the chicken is done. Transfer the cooked chicken mixture from the crock pot to a corning ware dish. Roll out the crescent roll dough and press the triangles together to form one large sheet of dough. Top the chicken mixture with the crescent roll dough and back according to direction on the Pillsbury package. Easy and delicious chicken pot pie! Serves approximately 8, or a family of 4 twice.

BBQ Chicken in the crock pot

This is one of our family favorites! You can use this BBQ chicken to make tasty sandwiches or quesadillas.
 
1 bag of frozen chicken tenders
1 jar of your favorite BBQ sauce ( I use Kraft Honey BBQ sauce)
1 onion sliced
Half a can of Coke or Dr. Pepper
 
Thaw the chicken tenders first. Sometimes I just take the bag out of the freezer and let it sit out for a bit. Or, if I'm in a hurry then I place the frozen tenders in a large bowl in the sink and run luke warm water over them until they are thawed. Mix all of the ingredients in the crock pot and then add the chicken. I put a good coating of salt and pepper on the chicken too. Usually I let this cook on low for most of the day. By the time I get home from work it is ready. Wonderful! Serves approximately 8, or a family of 4 twice.
 
BBQ Chicken Quesadillas:
 
BBQ chicken cooked in the crock pot
pineapple chunks sliced in half
provolone cheese (I use the light)
Your favorite tortillas!
 
You can assemble these and then use the microwave or you can warm them in the oven. I like my qusadillas to be a tad bit crispy so I use the oven. You will love this tasty and easy dinner!
