Looking for more penny pinched recipes? Here you go!

I'm so excited to share this recipe with you, because I was starting to think I'd exhausted every slow cooker recipe there is on the planet! (Can you tell I like my slow cooker?)

But yesterday while rummaging through my pantry hoping to figure out how to get dinner on the table without too much effort in the kitchen, I decided to do a quick ingredient search on All Recipes to see if they had any ideas. (While I love Pinterest for recipes, there's just something about reading through the All Recipes reviews, so I keep going back!)

I found this Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken and wasn't sure if it would work or not, but since I had all the ingredients except the Chipotle Peppers, I decided it was worth a try. It ended up being so good (much better than I expected it to be) plus it kept my oven off on a way-too-hot-in-the-kitchen kind of day! Here's how to get dinner on the table tonight in your home . . .

Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breast
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup chicken broth I used 1/2 bouillon cube mixed with 1/2 cup water
8 oz cream cheese softened
2 tsp garlic powder
1 can cream of chicken soup
3 chipotle peppers in sauce
salt and pepper to taste
cooked rice to serve
1 tablespoon adobe sauce from chipotle peppers jar

Instructions

Place chicken in slow cooker.
Melt butter and mix with chicken broth.
Then add garlic powder, cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, peppers and pepper sauce to bowl.
Stir and pour over chicken.
Cook on low heat 4-6 hours
Use a whisk to smooth the sauce in the slow cooker.
Serve chicken over rice and top with peppers and tomatoes (optional, but it makes it look pretty!)

Here are the best sales I see to watch for this week (as of 7/17/13):

Perdue Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast BOGO at Kroger (makes it $2.49/lb.)

This was an “eating from the pantry” kind of meal for us~ the only thing I had to buy was $2.19 in peppers (found those at Kroger) and dinner was done. Leave a comment if you find any deals on the other items in the meal, and let me know what you think if you try it!
