Monday meal plan: chicken tacos, vegetable soup & more!

If you happen to be dining at the House of Prosser this week, you'll find homemade vegetable soup, chicken soft tacos, baked salmon, Italian chicken and more on the menu. What will you be having at your house this week...or even just tonight?

Chicken soft tacos (the chicken is in the slow cooker right now cooking with some light Italian dressing and smells divine!) with chicken, spinach, tomatoes, cheese, black olives, light sour cream and salsa (HT tortillas are BOGO through 10/2 and chicken was bought on sale in 2.5 lb bag a couple weeks ago. I am cooking the whole bag and then using ½ for Monday’s meal and ½ for Wednesday’s meal.)

** Update: I just took the Italian chicken out of the slow cooker and it is so delicious! I posted the picture of it above. This is the easiest recipe ever!

Place 2 - 2.5 lbs of chicken breast in slow cooker. Sprinkle pepper and garlic powder on to taste (we like a lot). Pour enough light Italian dressing (I used Wishbone Lite Italian Dressing) to cover top of chicken (about 1/3 of bottle).  Cook on low for 5.5 hours. Check at 5.5 hours to make sure it is done. Enjoy!   I added this recipe to the WRAL recipe database under Slow Cooker Italian Chicken.
