SLOW-COOKER BUTTERNUT SQUASH & APPLE SOUP
Author: Alexandra http://www.alexandracooks.com/2016/11/11/slow-cooker-butternut-squash-apple-soup/

PREP TIME -10 MINS COOK TIME - 4 HOURS TOTAL TIME - 4 HOURS 10 MINS

From SkinnyTaste Fast and Slow, Gina Homolka's new cookbook, which is filled with simple recipes and beautiful, inspiring photos. I've made several recipes, including the roasted cabbage, burnt broccoli, and slow-cooker maple-dijon chicken legs, and everything has been delicious.

Notes: I've made this with as much as 2.5 lbs. of butternut squash post peeling.

I've never made this with chicken or vegetable stock—I've only used water—but I imagine either of those stocks would add even more flavor.

The leek garnish is delicious but totally optional—confession: I never actually made it until it was time to take photos.

If you don't have a slow-cooker, I think you could make this stovetop—simmer everything until the squash and carrots are cooked through. With a faster cooking time, I would suggest using vegetable or chicken stock.

SLOW COOKER SALISBURY STEAK
http://www.spendwithpennies.com/slow-cooker-salisbury-steak/
6 servings

Salisbury Steaks can be prepared in a skillet but in the slow cooker it can be prepped ahead of time and it’s ready right when you get home. The beef patties simmer all day in a rich gravy with mushrooms and onions resulting in a really flavorful dish and making them extra tender.

ExpandRead more... )

While some recipes do call for cream of mushroom soup, this version with a richer darker gravy. Searing the patties before adding them to the slow cooker helps them hold their shape (and adds flavor).
Serve this on top of mashed potatoes or rice or over cooked macaroni noodles. Add a side salad and you’ve got the perfect meal!
This reheats perfectly and makes a great messy sandwich in a hamburger bun!

Recipe origin: www.peaceloveandlowcarb.com


INGREDIENTS
1 1⁄2lbs chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
1white onion, sliced into thin rings and separated
1lb mushroom, small Bella Mushrooms, halved
1⁄2cup chicken broth
1cup heavy cream
3tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

salt & pepper
1pinch red pepper flakes(optional)
1⁄4cup fresh parsley, chopped

DIRECTIONS
Season the chicken with salt and pepper and let rest.
In a small skillet, saute onions in the butter until they are golden brown (carmelized).
In a larger skillet with tall sides, heat olive oil and brown the chicken on both sides, but do not cook through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
While the pan is still hot, deglaze with the chicken broth, and use a whisk or spatula to loosen all the browned bits.
Add the heavy cream and the balsamic vinegar to the chicken broth. Add salt and pepper to taste and red pepper flakes (if desired) Whisk through.
Add the mushrooms to the cream sauce and simmer for 10 minutes. Add onions into the sauce.
Place the chicken back into the pan with the sauces, increase heat to medium and saute until chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear.
Remove chicken and add the Parmesan cheese to the sauce. Stir until melted through the sauce.
Plate the chicken, top with sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley. I often serve this chicken over the top of basmati rice.
