Slow Cooker – Chicken Cordon Bleu

  Do you need an easy, delicious meal . . . fit for a king? It’s very good, but quite difficult to take a picture of. You’ll get the picture! This slow cooker version creates very tender chicken and scrumptious golden sauce. If you don’t have a slow cooker, that’s o.k. You can just bake…

Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - Hi Janie..The green is just parsley! Nothing fancy in this home.
JonnaNovember 2, 2012 – 2:10 pm

Janie - I’m just curious to know what extra seasonings you used? In the photo on the top red pepper flakes and green-? Also, is the chicken supposed to be covered with sauce? Or do I just have a lot? Thanks! Can’t wait until it’s done cooking!November 1, 2012 – 12:29 pm

Sarah K - I made this last night for my family and it was wonderful! I didn’t think my crockpot was large enough for 6 servings, instead I used the oven directions at the end. I used colby and parmesan for the sauce and provolone/honey ham inside the breasts. It was fabulous! This recipe is going in my dinner rotation now :-) Thank you!October 29, 2012 – 9:08 am

Karen - I made this tonight with homemade rosemary, garlic, pepper bread, a green salad, and sauteed escarole. I didn’t have any chicken broth so I substituted white wine and added a knorr chicken boullion cube. In addition, I added a small shallot and 1 clove of garlic. I also made it in the oven instead of in a crockpot. My picky 8 and 3 year olds both ate it as did my husband who doesn’t like most chicken dishes. This is a fabulous dish and I thank you for posting the recipe.

Also, I’m curious to know what changes would make it paleo friendly?October 13, 2012 – 7:03 pm

Lesli Peterson - Converted this to Paleo by modifying the roux…(we still eat cheese). In the crock now – can’t wait. Thanks!!September 19, 2012 – 11:58 am

Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - Hi Wendy,

I’m glad your guests all loved this….It’s so good and easy!
JonnaSeptember 17, 2012 – 8:51 am

wendy cullum - this dish was so fabulous! the chicken was so tender. the sauce was to die for! all 11 of my guests loved it. I baked it and served over rice.September 16, 2012 – 9:08 pm

Jonna - Hi Moda,

Well….I’m not sure. Did you dredge the chicken rolls in flour, then brown them in med/high oil?
That should do the trick. You can use margarine or oil. Butter tends to burn too quickly.
Hope you ate it anyway!
JonnaAugust 22, 2012 – 5:33 pm

Moda - I made this for dinner tonight but my chicken didn’t brown when I put in the oil. It just started cooking the chicken. Where did I go wrong? Thanks!August 22, 2012 – 3:18 pm

Rebecca - This wil be the second time for me making this recipe. It is so easy to do and it is delicious. The best chicken cordon bleu recipe I’ve ever tried. Thanks for posting this!!!

RebeccaAugust 21, 2012 – 10:11 pm

The 36th AVENUE - Hi there!
I just want to thank you for sharing this awesome recipe. I am featuring your dish on my blog today. Thank you again!!July 2, 2012 – 8:27 am

Jonna - Hi Kate,
Just remove them before you put them in the Slow Cooker.
JonnaMay 17, 2012 – 7:16 pm

Kate - Looks great! I can’t wait to try it. Forgive me if this is a stupid question, as I am a novice in the kitchen. When do you take the toothpicks out? Before you brown the chicken in the pan I’m assuming? Just wanted to make sure!May 17, 2012 – 3:00 pm

Chung-Ah | Damn Delicious - So this dish is not only amazing but you can make it in a slow cooker?! You rock! Thanks for sharing such an awesome recipe. I will most definitely make this soon! :) April 23, 2012 – 12:29 am

Barbra Donachy - Wow…this looks so delicious. Served with homemade noodles…delicious!
Greetings from north of the Arctic Circle.April 21, 2012 – 8:31 pm

Krys - I am in the process of cooking this now. The sauce is to die for. I cant stop eating it. But there seems to be too much sauce for the amount of chicken I used. Not that Im complaining!April 19, 2012 – 7:21 pm

Monique - I just hit Ctrl+P and printed pages 4 &5.April 17, 2012 – 9:18 am

Aimee - This was a big hit with the hubby tonight Jonna! Thank you so much for making it look easy enough so that I was willing to try it. (Of course mine didn’t look as lovely as yours, but that doesn’t matter right?)March 5, 2012 – 7:01 pm

Rebecca N - We loved this dish! My husband loved the sauce, good thing we had rice too, he put it all over that!February 14, 2012 – 9:18 am

shayla - This looks so yummy! And your wrong- your pictures are wonder! Thank you for recipe!January 28, 2012 – 6:56 am

Jonna - Hi Mary,

I’m sorry…it’s added.
jonnaJanuary 23, 2012 – 3:57 pm

Mary - Just wondering about a point in the directions. I never says when to add the milk, cream or chicken broth. I am assuming after you cook the roux a bit but you might want to check that since the directions are missing that point.
Thanks.January 23, 2012 – 3:23 pm

Jonna - Hi Jamye,
Sure….you could fry the chicken and make the sauce at night and cook it the next day.
The flour should be enough of a thickening agent. If the sauce needs to be thicker at the end of cooking time,
you could do cornstarch and cold water, but since it already has flour as thew thickening agent, I would probably mix
a bit of milk with a tablespoon of flour (shake it up really well, so that there aren’t any lumps), then slowly stir it into
the sauce.
Hope this helps,
jonnaJanuary 21, 2012 – 10:50 am

Jamye - Wondering..do you think you could pan fry the chicken and make the sauce at night then combine in slow cooker in AM? Wanting to try this for Sunday lunch but can’t get it all done in the AM. How do you think the chicken would hold up over night? I wonder about it getting soggy. Also, would it help to add a little cornstarch to flour mixture?January 20, 2012 – 8:04 pm

Jonna - Sorry Barb…it’s back up!January 19, 2012 – 10:18 pm

Barb - Do you have the recipe for the sauce that goes over the Chicken Cordon BleuJanuary 19, 2012 – 9:17 pm

Yvonne - It’s nearly midnight and I’m ready to head to the kitchen to make this… YUMMY!!!!January 17, 2012 – 11:32 pm

Apples in a Blanket

I made something quite delicious today. It was a battle . . . and I lost. My head was telling me “NO” . . . don’t you do it. That little monkey on my shoulder won! These flaky little Apple Pies are mini’s, so you can eat one or two. You will need to give…

Jonna - Hi Shivani,

Below is a good recipe for pastry without egg.

Pastry for Pies and Tarts: (eggless)

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening
2 to 3 tablespoons cold water

Mix flour and salt in medium bowl. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Wrap flattened round of pastry in plastic wrap and refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.

Roll pastry, using floured rolling pin, into circle 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate, or 3 inches larger than 10- or 11-inch tart pan. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side and being careful not to stretch pastry, which will cause it to shrink when baked.

Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of pie plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate; flute as desired. Continue with directions in pie recipe.July 16, 2012 – 7:12 pm

shivani - Can you please tell how can I make eggless version of these cutiesJuly 16, 2012 – 6:51 am

Jonna - Hi Sarah,

Oh boy….I don’t know what went wrong! This is our favorite pie crust recipe, and as long as you roll the apple in cinnamon & sugar,
you just can’t go wrong. Think of it this way: You saved yourself lots and lots of calories.
JonnaApril 16, 2012 – 1:18 pm

Sarah - I just made these, and they were the most disgusting, lardiest thing I have ever tasted. I don’t know what went wrong! Obviously it was my fault because every else who made them seemed to love them, but I just don’t know what happened!April 15, 2012 – 1:58 pm

Jonna - Hi Sarah,

At the bottom of the post is the recipe. After shaking the flour & shortening until pea size lumps remain, you then add the water/vinegar/egg mixture. Toss some of the flour/short over the liquid. Replace the lid and shake, shake shake again until it forms a ball. If you need to add more flour, add only 1 tablespoon at a time. The mixture should leave the sides of the bowl, and form a loose ball, that you can bring together with your hands. This way, you aren’t making the pastry tough by handling it too much.

As for your question about the vinegar…Vinegar can serve two useful roles in pie crusts — it promotes tenderness and can keep the crust from getting too brown. Vinegar brings water to the dough, which is essential to the creation of the crust, but also a mighty, gluten-slaying acid.

Hope this helps,
JonnaMarch 12, 2012 – 2:52 pm

Sarah S. - Sounds incredibly simple in the Tupperware- what a great idea! But where does the 1/2 cup of water come in to play? I’ve read the recipe over and over and do not see where you are using the 1/2 cup of water- ? Also, this is the 2nd pie crust recipe I’ve seen with egg and vinegar- what is the purpose of these, especially the vinegar? Does it make the crust flakier or better tasting or does it just help in the cooking?March 12, 2012 – 1:58 pm

Sarah - I had one red and one green apple that were begging to be used. I did a julienne of both so that I could get the red and green togeher in each blanket. Oh so yummy! I did a super easy carmel sauce from sweetened condensed milk by request of my boyfriend and it made a perfect dip. I dont make many deserts so he thought this was an amazing treat. I am a fan of your blog and this was just such a great easy Idea I wanted to say thanks for helping me get off my butt and bake (and making it so easy!).

Here is the link to the carmel sauce that I use just in case anyone is interested. Hope you dont mind the link…

Suzie - This is genius recipe. Simple and genius. Lovin it. I am going to a baby shower tomorrow and have to bring something. I am so going to make these! They are perfect party fare. Thanks!

SuzieFebruary 5, 2012 – 12:44 pm

elisabeth@foodandthrift - Just by sheer accident, I happen to stumble upon your blog, and see that you are also on foodbuzz, which I will look up later. The real reason I stopped by your blog, is because a Hungarian food blogger linked back to your blog, baking your yummy little apple mini pastries which, by the way resemble the famous Rugelach that requires cream cheese, and butter, instead of shortening…otherwise the shape is the same, but not the filling.

Your pie crust recipe is great, especially the vinegar added to it, but I use a little butter, maybe 1/4 cup (cold) and less shortening, by 1/4 cup. also about 2 Tbsp of ice water. All the shaking, and “not touching by hand” can also be used in the food processor which gives the same results, but then…either way, at some point, you have to roll out the dough…without rolling out the dough that you did not clearly explain, will give foreign bloggers a misunderstanding of the method.

She claims, that just shaking the dough will form the pastry together, just like the way it’s supposed to turn out!…LOL
I just found this to be so incredibly funny, as in LOL funny, that she posted in her blog, in Hungarian!

Enough, said…Just love your yummy little apples in a blanket, and I do want to try it myself…but I think I will just stay with my trusty food processor to do the shaking…unless I want to exercise my arms, which I do it at the gym, lately:DDDJanuary 26, 2012 – 11:03 am

Pam Dier - Sounds wonderful!January 20, 2012 – 3:31 am

brooke vanausdal - I think I just died and went to heaven!January 16, 2012 – 4:07 pm

Karen @ Sugartown Sweets - I’m so excited to see these! This past autumn was the first in many years that I did not get around to baking my famous apple pie (famous in my family anyway).I want to try these soon! They look so yummy :) January 12, 2012 – 7:24 pm

Brandi - I am so happy I was the Lucky Daughter to come visit just in time to try these decadent little things. They really were so yummy. I ate all of them you sent home before church on Sunday. Then I realized it was fast sunday. Oops… They are way yum. A great new portion controlled pie!!! LolJanuary 10, 2012 – 3:22 pm

Hawaiian Crunch Halibut – My favorite meal

2012 New,  Fresh, Uncluttered. Last year brought my family blessings galore and for that . . . I’m very grateful. Two Thousand Eleven didn’t come without any hitches, but as I look around at the sadness and trials that others have faced, I quickly realize that I have nothing to complain about. I’m very thankful…

Erica - This looks SO good! I am definitely putting it on my menu for next week! I am a big fan of anything halibut!April 11, 2013 – 3:05 pm

Dana - I cannot BELIEVE how good that was! I have never made fish as tasty as that just was. I cooked it for just me and my boyfriend and it was like something I would have ordered in a restaurant! Thank you and this will definitely be made again and again in my kitchen. *Licks chops*June 11, 2012 – 9:41 pm

Jonna - Jill this is my favorite as well as my husbands…it’s delis.
I love Halibut, because it isn’t fishy!
JonnaMay 18, 2012 – 7:32 am

Jill - This recipe looks delish! I love fish but have completely run out of ideas to make to make new and interesting dishes. Will definitely be giving this one a try and checking out your other recipes too.May 18, 2012 – 7:20 am

Mary love - Everything looks so good.. Always looking for different things to make…April 25, 2012 – 6:12 pm

Kerry - That looks sooooo delicious…I can’t wait to try it! I’ve also made a macadamia nut version, but I love your idea about the pistachios…genius!April 8, 2012 – 1:19 pm

Melissa - I tried this and it was delicious- especially the sauce stood out.
Two days later, I still had a lot of the sauce leftover so I decided to make an experimental mac ‘n cheese and mm! It is honestly the best I’ve ever made.
I mixed the sauce with fully cooked elbow macaroni and a generous amount of Parmesan, scooped it into a small dish, sprinkled a little more Parmesan, topped it with bread crumbs and pats of butter, and then I just baked at 400 for 5 min!
Will definitely make again.January 21, 2012 – 1:51 pm

Jonna - Hi Nicole,

I’ve never baked this particular recipe, but you certainly can bake fish.
As for preparing, this is what I would do to make Baked Halibut with Panko Crust:
1. Coat fish in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
2.Dredge fish in an egg and water mixture.
3.Lastly coat in Panko bread crumbs.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place halibut pieces on well greased baking sheet and lightly sprinkle Olive oil on top of the fish. Bake in oven for 30 minutes.

This is what I would do if I were going to bake the halibut instead of fry.
Let us all know how it turns out.
JonnaJanuary 20, 2012 – 8:13 am

Nicole - Could you bake it instead of frying? It looks amazing, cant wait to try it!January 19, 2012 – 8:16 pm

Aimee @ ShugarySweets - This looks delish!! Love all the flavors, pinning this one for a future dinner. Happy New Year!January 10, 2012 – 12:39 pm

Jonna - Hi Susan,
Thank you! It’s our favorite. I find the Halibut filets at SAMs clubJanuary 8, 2012 – 8:10 pm

Susan - Jonna, this looks absolutely scrumptious. Can’t wait to try it.January 8, 2012 – 5:58 pm

Jonna - Hi Andrea,
I’m glad you liked it! It’s like a Fancy Restaurant dinner, without the price tag!
JonnaJanuary 5, 2012 – 4:49 pm

Andrea - This was delicious! A definite winner!!January 5, 2012 – 4:29 pm

Jonna - Hi Sare,

You could use a variety of fish with the crumb coating. Other fish my include Salmon, Cod or Talapia.
JonnaJanuary 5, 2012 – 3:58 pm

sare - Hi!I love it, ingredients in the crunch are excellent for me, I’ll try it. Do I have to use halibut? What else can I have…
Thank you for sharing your favourite dish:))
Happy New year to you and your family.January 5, 2012 – 11:34 am

Jonna - Hi Andrea,

1 1/2 cups of milk. (Full amount)January 5, 2012 – 10:04 am

Andrea - For the lemon butter sauce, does that mean 1 to 1/2 cups of milk or 1 and a half cups of milk?

Thanks!January 5, 2012 – 6:34 am

Jonna - Hi Claire,
If the fish is tough, it’s most likely because you have cooked it too long.
Think about cooking shrimp, if it’s over cooked it get tough and chewy….Halibut and many variety’s will be the same.
With crumbing Halibut that is about 1/2 thick, it’s most likely done through, when the crumb topping is very golden brown over med. heat.
I hope this helps….we love this!
JonnaJanuary 4, 2012 – 3:34 pm

Claire @ Claire K Creations - I feel very silly admitting this but I’m still a little bit wary of cooking fish. It always ends up a bit tough. Crumbing it like this looks fabulous – it’s my favourite way to eat fish.January 4, 2012 – 3:20 pm

conniemelancon - This looks so good! I voted.January 4, 2012 – 7:20 am

Lynn - Oh my stars. This looks AWESOME! Thanks for the tip using half soda crackers. Definitely will try that.

Also….what do you think about using clarified butter? Have you tried that before to make this dish? I used clarified butter for frying all the time, because it doesn’t burn AT ALL! Seriously. Love it. But some people say it changes the flavor or their favorite dishes…so I was wondering what you thought if I just went ahead and used it for this.January 3, 2012 – 8:38 pm

Lindsay @ The Reluctant Runner - I recently found your blog via Stumble Upon and added you to my google reader right away, and I’m glad I did! Your recipes are awesome! This looks absolutely delicious. I love the idea of adding nuts to a breadcrumb coating for meat or fish.January 3, 2012 – 7:21 pm

This is my first visit here, so I took some time to browse through your earlier posts. I’m so glad I did that. I really like the food and recipes you share with your readers and I’ll definitely be back. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…MaryDecember 17, 2011 – 8:28 am

Claire @ Claire K Creations - I read a list of things about food bloggers and one was that friends and family had to accept that they might receive a cake with a slice cut out of it for photos!

You poor thing. I can picture it now. Flour seems to get everywhere too. You’ll still be finding it weeks later.December 11, 2011 – 2:26 am

Brown Butter Brownies

I do like Brownies. I don’t make them much anymore. I don’t have anyone in this house, that will help me eat them. I can’t convince my sweet half to like Chocolate. I ask you . . . Who doesn’t like Chocolate? It’s sick! The brown butter is a killer ingredient. That’s what drew me…

Karen - Made these tonight… my first attempt ever at brownies NOT from a box. Oh my goodness, they are amazing! I served a few of them warm for dessert topped with Bluebell homemade vanilla ice cream and hot fudge. My son never finishes the brownie at the bottom of brownie sundaes. And tonight he savored every last bite. They were a big hit!July 5, 2012 – 7:17 pm

Jonna - Thank You NabQ!April 19, 2012 – 1:17 pm

Stacy Wagstaff - I found your blog last night on pinterest. I stayed up half the night looking at all your goodies, and then made these this afternoon. We (meaning I) don’t like nuts, so I left them out. It is a good thing I plan on giving most of them away, because I would have eaten them all. MUST have a big glass of milk with these, they are very rich! Great blog, excellent pictures. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes!December 23, 2011 – 2:20 pm

Paula (Salad in a Jar) - Oh my! Ever since I figured out how easy it is to brown butter in the microwave, I have been using it as much as possible. Gotta try these.

This is my first time here. Love your blog. I’ll be back.December 12, 2011 – 7:37 am

Jacqueline - Just last week I posted Browned Butter Brownies, but mine are really blondies and yes, the brown butter is the killer ingredient – mine was in the frosting and it was very addictive. Now I am going to have to try your chocolate variety. They look and sound fabulous.December 7, 2011 – 10:25 pm

rick - these look so good. thanks for sharingDecember 7, 2011 – 10:28 am

Jonna - Hi Ellie,
I did use 1/4 cup less cocoa powder, since we don’t like it too dark. I agree.December 3, 2011 – 5:08 pm

My 12 year old son really likes monterey jack cheese, so I used a colby/monterey jack combo and added a little parmesan, too, and moved the pan to the low rack for the last 20 minutes to get the crispy bottom. He’s working on eating the whole pan!April 22, 2013 – 6:08 pm

Katy - I made this the other night for dinner and added some diced ham. My husband and I enjoyed this so much we both ate it for breakfast the next 2 days! Thanks for the yummy recipe!March 14, 2013 – 9:49 pm

Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - Hi Aidee,

The recipe posted makes a 9×13 pan of potatoes, so to double it, you would need a very large pan!
I’ve doubled the recipe several times, but have a super large glass pyrex pan.
The cooking temperature stays the same, but you most likely will have to cook the pan of potatoes longer,
so allow for at least 1 1/2 hours to 1 hour 45 minutes baking time.

JonnaNovember 25, 2012 – 3:57 pm

aidee - I made these for a family gathering, and they were so popular I was asked to make 3 for our next dinner. It would take too long to make 3 individual dishes, so can I just double everything to make a bigger dish? If so, should I change the temperature?November 24, 2012 – 5:51 pm

Loreal - I love this simple and tasty recipe! I leave the potatoes, sliced instead of making french fries (just my preference). Served with pork chops and steamed broccoli. It was a hit!November 18, 2012 – 9:08 pm

Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - Oh it will stay yummy for a long time…never had any problem.
Refrigerate leftovers and then re-heat.

Cindy - What is the brand name of the slicer you used for this recipe? We had one when I was growing up, and I so loved it. Yes, it does cut fingers, I learned that at least twice, but I wpuld love to own another one or two. They are amazing!!October 2, 2012 – 3:11 pm

Jonna - Hi Amber,

Yes…I’ve done that as well. When I use whole chicken breasts, I like to flour and season the breast and brown it well on both sides.
Lay them in your baking dish, sprinkle pieces of broccoli in, and pour the sauce over all.

Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - Hi Liza,

You can google Rhodes rolls, and you will be able to see what their packaging looks like. In a city as large as Log Angeles that is hard to believe!
Possibly another brand of frozen bread is available…or just make your own bread dough. These little frozen balls of dough are just really convenient!
You probably could omit the corn syrup Liza. They might not be quite as gooey, but it would probably work fine.
JonnaMarch 8, 2013 – 12:10 pm

liza - Hello, I have been wanting to make the mini monkey bread for some time. However, I can’t find the Rhodes Bread in Los Angeles area. Do you have a picture of what the bag looks like? I also don’t know which one it is on their website. Also, is there a way you can make this without the corn syrup?March 7, 2013 – 1:48 pm

Jonna - Hi Michelle,

To double in size, it really depends on the temperature of your house. Don’t rise in the refrigerator, or it will take
too long. I just cover loosely and put them near a warm window. If you are in a huge hurry, you can also turn your oven on to the lowest
temp. My oven is 170 degrees. Preheat the oven, then TURN THE OVEN OFF! Then….lay a clean kitchen towel across the rack in your turned off oven. Set the rolls in the center of the oven to rise. Crack the oven door just slightly. Let them raise tip double. Make sure though that you take the rolls and the kitchen towel OUT of the oven before you heat the oven to the proper baking temperature!

Hope this helps,
JonnaSeptember 6, 2012 – 8:36 pm

Michelle May - Two quick questions:
1) About how long do the rolls take to “double in size?”
2) When they are covered in plastic to “double” are the rolls left on the countertop at this time or stored in the refrigerator?September 6, 2012 – 5:50 pm

Jonna - HI KAITLIN,
I find them in the frozen area of grocery stores. This is a bag of little balls of frozen bread dough.
JonnaAugust 1, 2012 – 6:45 pm

kaitlin - where can i buy rhodes rolls and do you need to use rhodes rolls in this recipe?July 29, 2012 – 8:24 pm

Jonna - Hi Amy,
I included the recipe below the post. It was originally posted over at the
Rhodes Website.
jonnaJanuary 25, 2012 – 8:22 am

Amy Copeland - How much corn syrup did you use?January 25, 2012 – 5:44 am

Jonna - Hi Sam,
I added the glaze recipe to the post as well.

Vanilla Glaze
Note: I doubled this.

1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1-2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Mix all ingredients together until the icing is nice & smooth.
You can also substitute fresh lemon juice or Orange juice for the milk is desired.

Hope this helps,
jonnaJanuary 23, 2012 – 11:48 am

Sam - Can you tell me how you make the vanilla glaze? I looked above several times, but couldn’t find it, but it is early in the morning and maybe I’m missing it. These look delicious!January 22, 2012 – 8:41 am

Chicken Breast Gourmet

Tonight’s dinner was good. It was better than good . . . it was delicious. It tastes like a fancy schmancy restaurant kind of dinner!  I incorporated the sauce for my Favorite Pasta dish and simply poured it over Browned Chicken Breasts.  An hour in the oven (covered with foil) and you have a meal…

Rebecca - Any idea how this would turn out if cooked in the crock pot instead of the oven?December 5, 2012 – 3:42 am

karen - Hi Jonna. I love your site and your wonderful approach to food and family. I have a challenge coming up and I wonder if you could give me any advice. I’m part of a dinner club of 12 people. I need a menu that is gluten free and has no vegetables in the main dish other than onions, garlic and maybe mushrooms if they can be picked out – one of the guys doesn’t eat vegetables!
It would be great if some of it could be prepared ahead so that I can enjoy my guests when they arrive. Anything come to mind?

Thanks, Jonna. You are the best!October 31, 2012 – 8:02 am

Jen - Wow! I used to make something close to this (I made mine all in the skillet) YEARS ago and had forgotten all about it….
Looks delicious! this just may go back into the rotation…. Thanks!March 22, 2012 – 5:59 pm

Jonna - Hi Callie,
I’ve never put this dish in the freezer, however I have made it ahead of time and stuck it in the fridge.
It’s also warms up great for leftovers as well. When re-heating, don’t microwave it, rather heat it up
in a 250 degree oven until sauce & chicken are hot. Hope this helps,
JonnaJanuary 17, 2012 – 4:02 pm

Callie - I was wondering how this dish would work out if you made it ahead and stuck it in the fridge or freezer for later use?? The cheese sauce makes me think it would be clumpy. Has anyone tried it? Thanks. I am making it for dinner tonight and can’t wait to try it.January 17, 2012 – 3:48 pm

Logan - Made this for my parents anniversary. I minced half a yellow onion instead of the onion powder. Turned out so good. Soaked up the extra sauce on my plate with ciabatta bread.January 12, 2012 – 4:42 pm

Alicia - I came across your website last month through pintrest. I immediately made this for dinner and my husband absolutely loved it. Usually I leave the “gourmet” cooking to him but I thought I’d try my hand at it for a change. This dish was simple enough for me to make and turned out great. I now have this website bookmarked for future use.January 6, 2012 – 2:57 pm

Delina - OMG I made this today for the 1st time and it is fabulous! I made it early today can’t wait for my husband and the kids to try it. It’s a keeper! Thank you for sharing this recipe!December 6, 2011 – 5:24 pm

Michle Machala - We had this for supper last night served over brown rice. OMG, this was good. I could have eaten the sauce with a spoon. Oh wait, I did! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.

Chantri Keele - YUM!! This I’d like for sure. Stacey too. I’m going to have to try!November 3, 2011 – 8:59 pm

NaDell - I made this tonight! Chicken and rice was on the menu already, so I just used your recipe. Fabulous! I substituted sour cream for the half and half/heavy cream. I also cut the chicken into smaller pieces so it’d be easier for the kids to eat. It worked well and tasted yummy. I might have to have another serving after the kids go to bed. =)November 3, 2011 – 7:52 pm
