During the month of February we often think of love, and the people we love, and how we can demonstrate to them how much we love them.  I often cook for people to let them know how much I care.  There’s nothing more satisfying than sitting down with friends and cooking things that you know they like; favorite meats, veggies, desserts and seeing their satisfaction.  I’m going to share a delicious crock pot dish I discovered a couple of years ago.  Sweet Tomato Chicken. The ingredients sound a bit unusual but let me assure you that when they are combined and simmered together for hours in a crock pot, the sauce is delectable and you will have your guests guessing as to the content.

See you Next Month, Meet me in the Kitchen !

Recipe
Sweet Tomato Chicken

Ingredients:

• 6 chicken breasts
• 3 cans diced tomatoes
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 onion chopped
• 1 package of mushrooms, sliced

Directions:
Mix tomatoes, condensed milk, onion and mushrooms.  Place ½ of the tomato mixture in crock pot.  Place the chicken breasts in crock pot on top of mixture.  Cover the breasts with the rest of the tomato mixture.  Cook for 5 to 6 hours on high.

I serve this on top of pasta with a green salad and bread. A great dessert and you have a dinner for guests ready.  I would also serve this on top of rice !
