  • What can I make in the crockpot with these things?

    I have the following ingredients (and more I'm sure.... just ask, I have other things sitting around!):

    chicken breasts
    bacon
    pepper jack cheese
    mozzerella cheese
    sour cream
    salsa
    zucchini
    green peppers
    broccoli
    butter

    I'd like to make something in the crockpot because I have to take my daughter to the doctor this afternoon. Obviously I don't need to use all of those ingredients, but any/all are great!

    I'm not sure what to do in the crockpot with that because I don't have much liquid ingredients.... and if sour cream is in teh crockpot too long it separates and gets nasty.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    hmmmmm I love this stuff
    chicken breasts
    bacon
    pepper jack cheese
    mozzerella cheese
    sour cream
    salsa
    zucchini
    green peppers
    broccoli
    butter

    If you want to use all that up? ... would try dicing up the veggies then layering it with the chicken and a couple of pieces of the bacon cut into bits and the cheese, sour cream and salsa some chile powder if you have ...leave off the butter since you have the bacon ...you could add liquid but I think it will produce enough of its own......then put the lid on and see what happens in several hours ...you can not go wrong with that combo no matter what it will taste good

      oh I don't need to use ALL of that, in fact, I'd like to save at least some of that for another dinner

      so you don't think the lack of liquid will be a problem?

        I'm sure you have some seasonings too right? If so, take the chicken, put it in the crockpot with the salsa and seasonings like you would if you were making taco meat. when you're ready for dinner, take the chicken out and use 2 forks to shred it, mix it back in with the liquid and salsa in the pan. Make some cheese taco shells from the pepper jack and fill them with the shredded chicken and top them with sour cream, it would be really better if you had some lettcue to chop up and put on them too.

          Toss the chicken breasts into the crockpot with the salsa and chopped green pepper. Let that cook. It will turn into chicken with a tomato-pepper sauce. When you get home, toss shredded cheese on top and serve with sour cream on the side. And saute the zucchini with the bacon as a side dish.

            Oh, you really don't need much liquid in the slow cooker. The liquid from the chicken itself should be enough, if not, you can had a little water.

              MoG made an excellent point.

              If you add more than a couple cups of water to the ideas we gave you, you'll have a nice spicy tomato-chicken soup and you can add the veggies you listed for a tomato-chicken veggie soup. Or add maybe a cup of water and have a chicken chili! Serve with the sour cream and cheese as toppings!

                  I figured I should update this... I cubed the chicken, threw in the pepperjack cheese and let it cook all morning. In the afternoon I tossed in the chopped peppers and zucchini and let it cook.... the cheese and "juices" made a nice sauce and it was delicious!

                  Thanks for the help girls!
