With Sweet Tea!

Welcome to With Sweet Tea! Hey y'all! I am so incredibly glad you dropped by. Most of the dishes you'll find here are authentic Southern recipes that have been lovingly handed down through my family for generations. For a while now, a few sweet folks on Facebook have been begging me to start sharing them online. I always meant to get around to it, but it wasn't until my grandbabies asked me to write down all my recipes that I knew I had to finally sit down and make this blog a reality. Keepin' It Real & Simple. Now, please don’t expect anything fancy around here! I’m just a down-home Southern cook who was taught everything I know by my mother and grandmother. Some of these recipes you have probably heard of before, while others might be completely new to your kitchen. Either way, my biggest hope is that you find something here that you and your family just absolutely love. If you do find a recipe that hits the spot, please leave me a comment or drop me a line! I have always loved hearing from my readers, and your messages truly make my day. A Quick Note on How I Cook (The "Eyeball" Method)I have a little confession to make: I am one of those cooks who never measures anything. I have made these dishes so many times that I can tell exactly how much to use just by looking at it. If a recipe calls for a cup of sugar, I’m not going to pull out a measuring cup—I’m just going to dump in the amount that looks like a cup to me! Because I want you to find success in your own kitchen, I am trying my absolute best to convert my everyday cooking into exact measurements for you. But please don't stress over it! As long as you follow along somewhat closely, you won't mess it up. Let's Get Cooking! Relax! Cooking is supposed to be fun. So come on, stop reading, and let's go have some fun in the kitchen! I love y'all, and Jesus does too.

Easy Loaded Chicken


Loaded Chicken



 I came across this recipe this morning purely by accident. I was looking on the internet for something and I saw this recipe. As it was, I already had chicken thawing on the counter for dinner. I quickly read over the recipe and noted the basics. As with any recipe, I never follow it step by step, I always switch it up to suit my family. I will be giving you my version of loaded chicken. Just to let you know, my family went nuts over it.

Now you probably aren't going to make as much as I did. I am feeding eight people here and six are adults. We have six people here and I take dinner to my elderly parents. So, It takes a lot to feed everyone!

Ingredients
Chicken breasts
I can of mushroom stems and pieces
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cans of cream of mushroom soup.
2 chicken bullion dissolved in 1 cup of water. ( Optional)
2 onions peeled and sliced
salt and pepper
cornstarch
Parsley ( optional)


I used a large pack of boneless chicken breasts. Roughly seven large breasts. And a large pack of chicken strips. Roughly twelve pieces.

I sprayed my crockpot with nonstick spray and then layered my chicken with onions. I put the chicken on the bottom, placing onion "rings" to completely cover the chicken, then salt and pepper. More chicken, then onion, then salt and pepper. I continued until all the chicken and onion were in the crockpot.

I did not drain my mushroom pieces. I added the whole can to the three soups and stirred it all together. I poured this over the top of the chicken. I microwaved my two chicken bullion in a bowl with about 1 cup of water and poured this on top of my soup mixture. I cooked this on high for about six hours. Once my chicken was good and done. ( Falling apart like we like it.) I removed it from the crockpot. I mixed three tablespoons of cornstarch with a half cup of hot water. Stirring to make it smooth. I poured this into the crockpot, Stirring it two or three times. I added the chicken back and turned off the crockpot. I removed my crockpot from the cooker to stop any more heat. The only thing left to do is sprinkle a little parsley on top before serving. 

We had this with mashed potatoes, Peas and carrots mix, and dinner rolls.
The whole family loved it!!
