Crockpot Creamy Pesto Chicken

Spent too much time away, and using Pinterest instead of this blog. Found many more wonderful recipes and am happy to share! TheFrugalgirls.com has an amazing blog with some great ideas, here's one to share. I love easy recipes and I love using my crockpot, this one is one of the best! I buy my pesto already made at Costco and the best part is you just freeze whatever pesto you don't use. The jar looks small, but I've gotten 3-4 meals out of each jar - it goes a long way. 4-5 boneless chicken breasts (I like to use both breasts & thighs), thawed 1 cup pesto 3/4 cup sour cream 1. Cook chicken in covered crockpot on high 3-4 hours. (3 hours if breasts only, more for thighs) Drain liquid. 2. Mix together pesto & sour cream 3. Pour over chicken, cover and cook 30 minutes more. Serve over rice or noodles

Orange Rolls

2 tubes refrigerated biscuits (the smaller biscuits or the Grands biscuits) 1 cube (1/2 C.) butter or margarine 1 C. sugar Zest and juice of 1 orange Combine the butter or margarine, sugar, zest, and orange juice in a small saucepan and heat until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted, stirring frequently.I really liked using these Pillsbury Grands! biscuits with the flaky layers. You didn't have to have a whole biscuit if you didn't want to. You could just peal off as many layers as you wanted. Fantastic! But they really would work just fine with the smaller biscuits too. Using a fork or tongs, dip each biscuit into the sauce, scooping some of the zest onto the biscuit. Place into a well-greased bundt pan. Pour remaining sauce over the biscuits. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 35 minutes. When done, immediately turn onto a platter and serve. I place the platter on top of the rolls, then flip the whole thing over all-things-delicious.blogspot.com
