Brunswick Stew
I'm trying this one out today for the first time so I don't know how it will turn out but it sure sounds good on this rainy day! It is ever so slightly adapted from the Fix-it and Forget-it Cookbook.
1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into pieces
3 potatoes, thinly sliced
10 3/4 oz. can tomato soup
16 oz. can crushed tomatoes
1 cup V-8 juice (spicy or regular...I used spicy)
10 oz pkg frozen corn
10 oz pkg frozen lima beans
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 or 2 bay leaves, during cooking
1. Combine all ingredients in slow cooker
2. Cover. Cook on High for 3 hours. Reduce to Low and cook another 3 hours.
** Updated from earlier today: The cookbook recipe said 2 hours on High and 2 on Low, but my potatoes were not done and the chicken looked like it could use more time too. Also, next time I think I'll use ketchup instead of the tomato soup for a more tangy stew. Anyway, I'm having some now and I have to say it's pretty darn good with some corn bread.
