Slow Cooker Cream-of-Mushroom Chicken with Rosemary

As part of my journey toward smarter food budgeting and more frequent home-cooked meals, I've implemented a weekly meal prep schedule. Every Sunday, I make large portions of protein and vegetables that can be mixed and matched for additional meals throughout the week.

This week's Sunday meal prep - Cream-of-Mushroom Chicken with Rosemary.

Ingredients:

5-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (my go-to protein)

1 can cream of mushroom soup, 8oz. (I used the low-fat version)

Lemon juice

Seasonings: Rosemary, roasted garlic, onion powder, cracked black pepper, lemon pepper, parsley, dill

Optional: A pinch or two of salt, white cooking wine

Trim the chicken if needed and slice into bite-sized pieces. Coat the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray and load in the chicken. Add 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and about 2 tsp lemon juice. Stir together.

Add the seasonings, using the list above or your own preferences. Measure with your heart or to taste, but always use twice as much garlic as anything else and go light on the salt and cracked pepper. I used about 2 tbsp roasted garlic, 1 tbsp onion powder / lemon pepper / parsley, and 1/2 tbsp dill / cracked black pepper. I also picked a few sprigs of fresh rosemary and minced them for the pot. Dried rosemary works fine if you don't have any pet herbs in your house.

Stir everything together and add the wine or salt if you wish. Put the lid on your slow cooker, put it on LOW, and let it cook for about 90min. Check the chicken, give it a stir, and cut a large piece in half to see if it's done. If it's tender and done through and the juices run clear, turn off the pot. Be careful not to overcook the chicken or it will get tough. Serve right away with your favorite starch and seasonable vegetables.

This makes about 6 servings, or dinner for two with plenty of leftovers. I packed our leftover chicken (and the delicious self-made gravy) with some egg noodles and separate pods of roasted brussels sprouts. It goes equally well with rice or potatoes, if that's your preference.

Altogether, the whole dish took about 15min of prep time and about 90min to cook. Very easy and very quick, and it didn't take a lot of spoons...or dishes.

Give a try, hope you enjoy!

Easy Braised Lamb Chops With Veggies

I originally wasn't going to post a recipe on this, because it was my first time making it and I was a bit intimidated. However, after cooking it today and figuring out how easy it was to actually make, and how absolutely delicious it turned out, I feel like I can share this with confidence that anyone can also recreate it! Both my family and I were absolutely blown away at how tender, savory, and comforting this meal was and even my toddler stuffed her face full of it and asked for even more! Not only that, but I feel like you can recreate this recipe with many substitutions, using beef or whatever vegetables you'd like, along with whatever spices you would like, and it would equally turn out amazing! Although there is a lot of ingredients due to spices, actually cooking it is extremely easy and pretty hands-off, much like a dump-and-go meal! For this recipe, I did use a pressure cooker to speed up the process, because I wanted fall-off-the-bone-tender meat without having to wait 3+ hours. However, you can recreate this recipe using a slow cooker as well, if you don't have a pressure cooker. As long as your lamb reaches 145 degrees, then it is cooked through!

Ingredients:

(Makes about 2 servings)

1-2lb pack of lamb chops

1 carrot, chopped

1/2 a large white onion, chopped

2 stalks of celery, chopped

2 tablespoons of garlic, minced

4 cups of beef broth

1 1/2 tablespoons of tomato bouillon powder

3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon of Worcester sauce

1 bay leaf

1/2 tablespoon cinnamon

1/2 tablespoon of oregano

1/2 tablespoon of basil

1/2 tablespoon of thyme

1/2 tablespoon of rosemary

1/2 tablespoon of fennel seed

1/2 tablespoon of salt

1/2 tablespoon of pepper

1/2 tablespoon of paprika

3 tablespoons of cornstarch

1 tablespoon of preferred oil

Instructions:

Chop all your veggies and place them aside to add later.

If you would like to, season your meat now with preferred seasonings. I used salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Turn your pressure cooker to the 'Sear' setting on high.

Add in your lamb chops to the pressure cooker and sear them on both sides until browned, then set aside.

Add your oil to the pot then toss your veggies and all your seasonings and bouillon into the pot, but not your liquids or cornstarch. Cook, stirring occassionally, until veggies have softened slightly.

Pour in your broth and all liquids into the pot and stir, then add your meat back into the pot as well.

Turn off Sear mode and turn on Pressure Cook instead, and set to high for 45 minutes, then begin cooking everything but the cornstarch.

Once timer goes off, allow to release steam naturally, then take off lid.

Take out meat and set aside, feel free to pick out the bones now.

Set pot back to sear on high.

Mix cornstarch with a little bit of cold water, then add into pot and stir until thickened. Turn off heat once done.

Serve meat and veggies smothered with the sauce and enjoy! Best served over mashed potatoes or rice.

Condensed Recipe for Pros:

Sear meat in pressure cooker, set aside.

Sear veggies in pressure cooker until slightly tender.

Add meat back to pot along with all liquids and seasonings, keep cornstarch out.

Pressure cook for 45 min on high

Once done, take meat out.

Turn pot back to sear and add in cornstarch mixed with a little bit of water, stir until thickened. Once thickened, turn off heat.

Plate meat and veggies smothered with the sauce over mashed potatoes or rice. Enjoy!
