Prepare rice according to package directions.  In a separate large pot, melt 1 T. butter over medium heat.  Add vegetables, saute until slightly tender, about 4 minutes; adding garlic during last 30 seconds of sauteing.  

Add chicken broth and seasonings.  Increase heat to medium-high, add chicken and bring to a boil.  Cover pot and allow mixture to boil 12-15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.  Remove chicken and set aside on cutting board to cool, then shred into small bite sized pieces.  

Reduce heat to low and add cooked rice.  Add shredded chicken.  

In a separate medium saucepan melt remaining 4 T butter over medium heat.  Add flour and cook 1 1/2 minutes, whisking constantly.  Then, while whisking vigorously, slowly pour milk into butter/four mixture.  Cook mixture, stirring constantly until thickened.

Add milk mixture to soup mixture and cook 5 minutes longer,or until soup is thickened.  (At this point, you can simmer the soup for a longer period of time if you want the rice to soften more.  If too thick, add any remaining chicken broth.) Stir in cream and lemon zest.

Deluxe Pie Crust

Submitted by Britney Grover - Family Recipe

3 c. flour

1 1/2 t. salt

1 c. shortening

1/4 c. butter

Cut all ingredients together until crumbly.

Then add:

1 T.vinegar

1/2 c. milk

1 T. oil

Mix until a well blended dough.  Roll out and put in a tin.  Bake at 400 until golden brown.  This recipe makes enough for 2 pies with top crusts or 3 without.

*Tip: We use this recipe for everything from Pecan Pies to Chicken Pot Pies.  You simply cannot go wrong with this crust!

**Britney's Notes: Don't use regular buttermilk in place of milk and vinegar.  Doesn't work right.  Also, to make a mixed berry pie, add two cans of berry pie filling from Walmart, etc.  Bake at 400 for 35-40 min.  Put foil around crust.

Crock Pot Chicken Philly Cheese Steak Recipe – 7 Points +

May 14, 2013 By Wendy Zitzman 18 Comments

I can honestly say, I have NEVER met a single soul who doesn’t love Philly Cheese steak sandwiches. And with good reason – these meaty sandwiches are beyond delicious. Traditionally made with steak, and topped with green peppers, onions and melted cheese, a cheese steak can be waaaaaaay too many Weight Watchers Points to enjoy on a regular basis. But by using chicken breast and a reduced fat provolone cheese instead, I was able to bring the Points down to a reasonable 7 Points + per sandwich, including the roll. I used Trader Joe’s Artisan rolls because they are low in Points and taste amazing, but the square shape make them not as fancy as the traditional hoagie roll used in cheese steak recipes. Also, I used a whole slice of provolone on each sandwich, so it ended up covering most of the chicken and veggies which makes it harder for you to see the insides of the sandwich based on my photo. But, you guys, this sandwich is SO good! Oh, and did I mention it’s all prepared in a crock pot? That’s righ…quick, easy, and delicious, this Crock Pot Chicken Philly Cheese Steak Recipe is a must make.

Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup

3/4 cup water

In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion soup mix, bread crumbs, and milk using your hands. Shape into 8 patties.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the patties in flour just to coat, and quickly brown on both sides in the hot skillet. Place browned patties into the slow cooker stacking alternately like a pyramid. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, au jus mix, and water. Pour over the meat. Cook on the Low setting for 4 or 5 hours, until ground beef is well done.
