I swear, as soon as it warms up the slow-cooker recipes will be minimal! But as I was at Kid City (this store-front-turned-playspace) with my kids, I picked up March 2011s edition of Real Simple (I LOVE REAL SIMPLE!). And what should be on the cover other than the words "amazing slow cooker dinners"?! Truly amazing, in my mind. Here's why: Real Simple uses mostly fresh ingredients in their recipes. Barely any canned food (like cream-of-______ soup). That's one thing I hate about crock pot recipes, which is why I happily found this recipe in the magazine:
http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/slow-cooker-creamy-chicken-with-biscuits-00000000052389/index.html
(If this link doesn't work sometime in the future, let me know and I'll type out the recipe.)
This is a sophisticated chicken and biscuits you could feel good about serving to guests. I'd never used poultry seasoning before this recipe - man, that stuff is good! And the white wine - I used chardonnay. It makes all the difference, so don't skip it or just substitute more chicken stock. I didn't make the Easy Drop Biscuits since I had some I needed to use up or they were going to end up in the trash. This was truly easy and a great comfort food to feel less guilty about since there's no canned soup in it... now, about that heavy cream... ;)
This sounds amazing! I will have to try it (and by I, I mean I will make Matt cook it for me, so I can try it). :)
