Where's my good cooks at?

[heathers*bps]

I need opinions on my dinner dish. I threw some chicken sprinkled with salt, pepper and garlic powder in the crock pot and covered it with a mixture of 2 cans cheddar cheese soup, 2 cans cream of chicken with herb soup and about 3/4 cup of milk. I plan on adding some frozen broccoli about an hour before its done, and serve over egg noodles. I prefer wild rice but I'm the only rice eater in the house.

I'm kinda just throwing this all together to make a new recipe and I'm just looking for suggestions on if there's anything else I could add. Or does it sound great as is? I was thinking about adding a good dollop of sour cream towards the end, but would that be over kill? Thanks for helping me out

Sounds really good! I LOVE sour cream so that would be the icing on the cake for me, but the way it is sounds super awesome also!

I will say that, to me at least, it appears that you have no concern for your caloric intake for your dinner meal! That aside, it doesn't sound bad at all and I'd try some if I were going to be in the area around dinner time! I personally love quartering a whole chicken, searing it in a pan with olive oil, fresh crushed garlic and lemon pepper seasoning and then baking it until it is cooked through. That with some fresh steamed broccoli or asparagus or even some blanched spinach and some brown rice, wheat berries, quinoa or some other grain, and you have a kick butt meal. Of course, you can't forget a nice, chilled glass of Pinot Grigio to go with it. Oh man, why do I do this to myself when I still have three months left in this forsaken place! LOL

Enjoy your dinner and I'd love to know how it turns out.

Can i ask wtf cheddar cheese soup is...? lmao

You put a whole chicken into the crock pot or chicken breasts? Im not sure how well that would come out, in my head im picturing the chicken getting kinda soggy. And if its a whole chicken then youre not gunna get any crispy skin to nibble on! Broccoli or asparagus sounds good. Maybe mix some peas, corn, carrots or potatoes in with it too. I would definetly eat that over rice, too bad you said no one else likes rice. Thats kinda a weird thing not to like btw lol.

Let us know how it comes out!

Sounds pretty good, except for the broccoli, lol. How about some French fried onions to put on top of everything after your done? I might use a shell noodles instead, those egg noodles seem to get pretty soggy, pretty fast. What time is dinner?

Mike, cheddar cheese soup is a staple in my cupboard, lol. Can be used as a base for many things. It's thicker than say tomatoes soup, thinner than sour cream, and well, cheddar flavored. Used in sauces, tater tot pie, hashbrown casserole...

No one in your family must be lactose intolerant! Haha. That's a lot of cream. Like, a lot! Going to be a very rich dish, for sure.

As for adjustments to it, I'd definitely look to serve this with as light and refreshing a side as I could. Instead of tossing in veggies to the mix, I'd steam the veggies on the side and really try to go for something more acidic to counteract the richness of the meal. The majority of your meal is going to be heavy, so it would be tricky to balance. Egg noodles is a good choice.

I'd personally steam up a bunch of beans and bright green veggies with this. I'd probably add lemon to the steam bath to give it that little hint of palette cleansing between bites.

Or, serve something really light and fruity for dessert.

Well I found a bag of frozen broccoli stir fry veggies that I'm gonna steam instead of adding to the crock pot. And actually, I am lactose intolerant, but I just love dairy. It's so dang good!

I just have to add, that my house is smelling really good right now, lol.

you lost me. :p My mom doesnt cook lol. So you wouldnt eat it as just soup though right?

Tater pot pie and hashbrown casserole sound amazing though!

[John1982]

That sounds delicious! Sorry I have no advice to offer, my crock pot skills are limited to dropping some meat in there and pouring on top a beer or two - maybe a cut veggie if I'm feeling daring..
