Changed this a little the second time I made it and with these changes, WOW! I had a HIT! Here it is: I used 4-5 frozen chicken breasts. In your crock pot, mix 2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans of Campbell's Cream of Chicken and 2 (10 3/4 ounce) Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup with 1 cup of uncooked white rice (DO NOT USE MINUTE RICE OR FAST COOKING RICE). I omitted the celery soup and added 1 can of water. I added 1/2 tsp of celery seed, 1 tsp of dried parsley, 1/2 tsp of black pepper and 3/4 pkg of Lipton Onion Soup Mix (DO NOT ADD SALT). Stir everything really well. I then placed the frozen breasts in (DO NOT CHOP THESE, JUST PLACE THEM IN WHOLE). Cover the breasts with the soup. Put the lid on the pot and you're good to go. I cooked it for 4-5 hours on HIGH. I stirred the meal after about 4 hours and turned to LOW until everyone got home (about another hour). Would have given it a 5, but the first time I made it, it wasn't as good as I had hoped (followed the original recipe exactly). But the author was on to something good. The slow cooker is the way to go when you're at work and the clean up, WHEW! Easy.

Loved this recipe with no alterations. Pickles came out crisp and sweet, good on sandwiches. I stored the pickles in a glass jar in the fridge without processing them any further, but another reviewer said that she could process them to seal the jars to store in the pantry.....note she did say to leave them soaking in the 'brine' longer- about 2 hours to get enough liquid to process them in a hot water bath.

Wonderful technique for Tofu, to get that meat-like texture. Would have given it a 5 star rating, but never ever simmer, re heat or cook in plastic. So freeze your tofu in its package or freezer bag for at least 24 hours. Remove from the freezer and run the bag/package under hot water to loosen tofu. Place tofu into a double broiler like set up...I used my pasta pot and a glass bowl, covered with aluminum foil. Allow pasta pot to simmer on high. You will have to drain liquid from your glass bowl a couple of times and turn the tofu too (until it is thawed), taking 15-20 minutes. Place tofu on paper towels and press to drain excess water and juices. Cut and use as you like...I made Mock Chicken Salad. WOW! The texture was just like chicken and my husband and children (VERY PICKY EATERS)never knew it wasn't the real thing.
