Crockpot Creamy Chicken

This was our first time cooking something in a crockpot, so we just found a very easy recipe to 'experiment' with. Now that we know how easy and delicious it really is, we're hoping to use our crockpot more often!!! We have a few recipes we want to try, so I'll post them when we get around to making them. I got this Creamy Chicken recipe here.


Ingredients:
4-5 chicken breasts
1 large can cream of chicken soup
1 small can cream of mushroom soup
2 carrots, sliced
1-2 tsp. seasoned salt
1/4 cup milk

Directions:
Place chicken breasts in bottom of crock pot and add both cans of soup over chicken. Add carrots, seasoned salt and milk over top. Cook on low for about 5-6 hours. (Read below for more info!)

Now, this recipe says to use frozen chicken, but as I was searching online for a simple recipe we could experiment with, I came across a website where someone said not to use frozen chicken. The reason is because meat needs to get to a certain temperature (I think 140 degrees) as quickly as possible. Otherwise there's a chance for bacteria to get in the food. I didn't want to risk anything, so we thawed/browned the chicken in a skillet first before putting it in the crock pot. Since we did that, we only had it cooking in the crock pot for about 3 1/2 hours instead of 5-6 hours.

We had a bag of baby carrots, so we just used them and cut a few of them up instead of using 2 bigger carrots. I also found other recipes that called for mushrooms, so we decided to put mushrooms in this one too. :)

It was kind of weird to me to have the milk just sitting on top in the crock pot, so after we poured the milk in, we kind of mixed things together a little bit.

Also, I wasn't sure what the "large can" and "small can" of soups were (we just have the same size cans of soups), so we used two cans of cream of chicken soup and one can of cream of mushroom.

See? We had to literally experiment with this! It's fun to experiment! (But just hope it turns out!) :)

It was delicious! We had it over brown rice with some green beans. Nice and healthy meal! :)
