David Letterman Chicken (Crockpot Recipe)

Last night I made a meal in the crockpot that I hadn't made for years!  I think I had forgotten about it.  It was delicious and I need to remember this one.  It would also be great to serve to company.  It was easy to throw in the crockpot before work and everyone loved it!  I remember that this recipe was originally called "David Letterman chicken".  Supposedly, David Letterman's Mom used to make this for him.  I have no idea if that is true or not, but I made it for my family and we all liked it.  That's all I need to know LOL.


This is how I made "David Letterman Chicken" AT HOME MY WAY:


David Letterman Chicken (crockpot)

  • 4-8 boneless, thawed skinless chicken breasts (or whatever you like to use as far as chicken goes, bone-in, dark meat, whatever..)
  • Bacon (a piece of bacon for each piece of chicken)
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Salt/Pepper
  • Egg noodles, mashed potatoes or rice (I prefer wide egg noodles)
Directions: 

Wrap each piece of chicken with a piece of bacon.  Lay the pieces of wrapped chicken in your crockpot.  In a small bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup with the sour cream, stirring well to combine.  Pour over the chicken in the crockpot.  Salt & pepper a little bit to your liking.  Cover with the lid.

Turn on low and cook 8-10 hours.  Serve over wide egg noodles, mashed potatoes or rice.

    We used to serve something similar in a restaurant that my family owned. But.... our sepcial touch was to add a small jar of Armour dried beef (no other brand works the same!!) Snip the dried beef into small pieces and put on the bottom of the crock pot then continue as your recipe suggests. Super good!

Best Dill Pickles EVER! (Just like Claussen) (Easy - no canning!)

Do you want to make the best, easiest homemade dill pickles in the world?   I found a recipe for dill pickles that tastes JUST LIKE Claussen refrigerator pickles.  Those are the best anyway, right?  That crunch, the dill and the garlic... and oh yea , the crunch!  This recipe is super easy because you  don't have to process these pickles which means there is no canning needed.   You just fill a gallon jar (we use an old pickle jar) with fresh cucumbers and dill heads, and then pour over the cooled liquids/seasonings.   Let it sit on the counter for three days, and then refrigerate.  After that, the pickle eating begins. They are supposed to keep for one year like that in the fridge, without canning.  (We let them sit for the 3 days, then refrigerated them overnight before opening the jar for the much anticipated first taste. Did they taste like Claussen?  YOU BET YOUR PRETTY PICKLE THEY DID!  We were all SO ex...

Buttermilk Biscuits - Just like Cracker Barrel!

RECIPES AT THE TOP - CHIT CHAT AT THE BOTTOM! Here's how we make Buttermilk Biscuits AT HOME MY WAY: Buttermilk Biscuits (just like Cracker Barrel) (Makes about 8 biscuits.) PRINTABLE RECIPE HERE Ingredients: 2 cups SELF RISING flour  (self rising flour gives the perfect taste to homemade biscuits) 1/3 cup shortening  (cold real butter also works here) 1 1/4 cup buttermilk*  *NOTE:  (If using regular milk combined with lemon juice vinegar referenced below, you only need 1 cup of milk because thinner regular milk uses less by volume than the thick real buttermilk.) Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. (Make sure your flour is "fluffed" not straight from the bag;  Dump it in a larger container and stir using up and down motion to fluff it up a little bit-THEN measure out 2 cups).  Measure 2 cups SELF RISING flour into a mixing bowl.  Add shortening and cut it until small and crumbly. A fork works fine for this purpose ...
