Coke and Soy Sauce Chicken

Ingredients:

1. 1/2 Soy Sauce
2. 8oz Coke (Use regular Coke because Diet Coke does not have real sugar in it)
3. About a dozen Chicken Drumsticks
   
   I poured a 1/2 cup of Soy Sauce & an 8oz bottle of Coca Cola with about a dozen chicken drumsticks in my Bean Pot. Cooked on 375 for 1.2 hours. 
   Chicken should fall off the bone. Remove from bean pot and set aside. Pour juice from bean pot into stock pot and simmer/reduce til the sauce turns into a nice glaze. Then plour over chicken and enjoy.

Hard Boiled Eggs

Place eggs in the pot. Cook with lid on at 325° in your oven for about 30 minutes. No need to add water.

Pepper Jack Chicken Dip

The zesty cheese makes this change-of-pace dip a crowd pleaser. Serve with white tortilla chips or French bread cubes. 

One 10¾-ounce  can condensed cream of chicken soup 

One 10-ounce  can chicken breast, drained 

8 ounces  hot pepper jack cheese, shredded 

Salt and freshly ground black pepper 

Put the condensed soup, chicken breast, and cheese in the Bean Pot and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir the mixture again. Cover and cook on 375 for 1 hour OR microwave 15min.   Stir the dip and serve it immediately, or keep it warm in Bean Pot. 

Italian Chicken

4 chicken breasts

• 1 packet dry Zesty Italian dressing (Regular is fine but I like zesty better. Sometimes I use a packet and a half.)
• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 1-2 cans cream of chicken soup (depending how cream cheesy you want it)

1. Place the chicken in a Bean Pot and sprinkle Italian dressing over it. Combine cream cheese and cream of chicken soup in a small pot over low heat and pour over chicken. Cook 375 for 1.5 hours. Once chicken is done you can leave the chicken breasts whole, cube it, or even shred it. I always cut the breasts into tenderloin size strips.
2. Once you have cut up the chicken, throw it back in the Bean Pot and stir into the sauce. If you feel the sauce is too thick you can thin it to your preferred consistency with a little milk. Serve over pasta or rice.

Doritos Chicken and Cheese Casserole

3 cups cooked chicken, chopped (I used a rotisserie chicken)
1 cup sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can of corn, drained
1/4 cup minced onion
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 medium sized bag of nacho cheese Doritos, crushed

Preheat oven to 350 

Spread the bottom of Bean Pot with half of the Doritos . Reserve one cup of cheese. Mix together remaining ingredients in a large bow. Pour chicken mixture over the Doritos. Top with the remaining cheese and Doritos. Bake 30 minutes or until bubbly.

Rotisserie Chicken

Who loves Rotisserie Chicken? If you love tender moist falling off the bone chicken this dish is for you! You will need 1 chicken (this one is about 4lbs), 1 can of low sodium Chicken broth, seasoning, and your bean ...pot. Rinse your completely thawed chicken, remove insides and place in your bean pot, sprinkle the chicken with your favorite seasoning. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken place lid on and microwave for about 30 minutes. Yes I did say microwave. After 30 minutes remove and I use a meat thermometer and check to see that the chicken is at 165 degrees. If not pop it back in for a couple of minutes until temp is 165 degrees. Oh this is so moist and tender. We serve it with some seasoned green beans, a tossed salad qnd a roll. Enjoy! But don't throw that great seasoned broth out. Let it cool and ck back tomorrow on how to use this broth, leftover chicken pieces and some items from the pantry for the best tasting home made chicken soup!

Pie Crust Chicken Pot Pie

First step is to mix together 1 large can of chicken breast (drained) with one can of cream of chicken soup and 1 bag of frozen vegetables. Now you can also use a can of mixed vegetables if you like. I did all the mixing right in the bean pot, which cuts down on dishes used! Next I put the lid on and microwaved for 10 minutes since the veggies were frozen. If you use canned vegetables you can cut the time down to 6 minutes. Turn your oven on to 385 degrees and let it preheat. Next I mix the pie crust up based on pkg. instructions. Roll it out to the shape of your bean pot. Remove bean pot from microwave and remove lid. Place the crust on top of chicken mixture. Before putting into the oven, lightly top crust with melted butter and place in oven for about 15-20 minutes, just long enough to brown the crust. ( do not put the lid on) Remove when its browned to your taste and enjoy.

Gumbo

1 box of gumbo mix

1 box of dirty rice mix

1can of cooked chicken breast drained and broken up

1 lb. chopped smoked sausage and

1 lb of already cooked shrimp (we buy it frozen and just remove tails). 

In your bean pot add 6 ½ cups of water and contents of both boxes. Whisk together till well blended. Next add chicken and smoked sausage. Place lid on and microwave for 15 minutes. Remove and stir again, then put lid on and microwave again for another 15 minutes. Remove and stir in shrimp place lid on and let set for 3 minutes. This is a thicker gumbo, almost like a stew. 

Serve with some fresh made cornbread made while your gumbo is cooking. Important Tip: This makes more than the two of us can eat, so I freeze a portion of it to have when I don’t want to Cook. So before you freeze a portion, remove the shrimp. Shrimp reheated are ok but just not at their best, so scoop those up and enjoy before freezing. You can always throw in some when you reheat.
