Crock Pot Cheesy Chicken & Ham (So Good!!!)

I agree with cooking it less...it was good, but it seemed like the chicken and ham both cooked down so much there weren't any chunks of meat left! So next time I will dice in larger size and cook less and see how that works out. I liked it over corkscrew pasta but my fiance said he thinks he would have preferred rice.

LOL! This recipe has several major problems but reading all the reviews today more than made up for them! I am reading this on 7-29-13, almost 9 years since this recipe was originally posted. What great reads the 30 odd reviews about this recipe were for me! I am amazed about how so many give a recipe 5 stars yet specify that they completely amended the recipe! There were so many suggestions about this recipe that I am now uncertain about how to proceed! Should I cut down on the butter? Should I cut down on the cooking time for the chicken?; Do I really use the chicken without getting any color on it beforehand? IMO, the answers are: yes, yes, and no! And not including a quick sautee in 1 tsp of canola oil to get some color on the chicken is a major flaw in this recipe, as is the overlong cooking time which will dry out and toughen chicken breasts, even if submerged in butter and condensed soup and even wine! Some of the suggestions by reviewers that I now include in my version of this recipe include the addition of sautéed onions and mushrooms and the addition of 1 cup of Chablis and 1 package of Lipton Secrets Onion Mushroom Soup and Dip Mix. I wish to thank the O/P (truebrit) for posting his/her recipe for this dish and allowing me to criticize it. As is, this recipe does not work. Happy cooking!
