Ingredients

• 4 frozen chicken fillets
• 1 large green bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted

Directions

1. Lightly coat the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray if desired. Arrange the frozen chicken fillets in a single layer and scatter the sliced green peppers over the top.
2. In a small bowl, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup with the dry onion soup mix until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly over the chicken and peppers.
3. Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 7 hours or High for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is tender.

Variations & Tips

Stretch the meal: Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles to make every serving more filling.

Switch the vegetables: Replace green bell peppers with onions, mushrooms, or colorful bell peppers.

Make it extra creamy: Stir in a few tablespoons of sour cream or cream cheese during the last 20 minutes of cooking.

Thicken the sauce: Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir into the hot sauce until thickened.

Meal Prep: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days and use shredded chicken for sandwiches, wraps, or baked potatoes.

Food Safety: Always ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F before serving. If your slow cooker heats slowly, thawing the chicken first is recommended.
