After 5-6 hours, it would be shoe leather.
3 tbsp salsa? Why bother with it at all?

You should give up cooking and eat every meal at Arby's. Did you
steal this crappy recipe w/o attribution, or did you think it up all
on your own?

Why don't you try doing this chicken in the oven? Cover the chicken and
peppers with the mixture of soup and salsa and bake 30 minutes at 350F

The original recipe called for four to six hours on Low....but never
made clear this might be a crock pot recipe. The recipe is very
reasonable.

Doesn't any recipe come from creativity? A simple formula putting the
ingredients that you prefer in a combination suitable.

YOU on the other hand, have the distinct possiblity to skip the recipe
if it doesn't appeal to you.....go on to another one. Some
recipes are stellar while others remain mediorce. As with anything
culinary, "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder".

Here's a challenge...why don't you post your stellar recipes? We
would love to eat your words!

This recipe thread could be the spark for a brand new, not unexpected Food

"ouch"

This "dish" could probably be done faster using a pressure cooker...

Five to six HOURS? On low heat? Great balls of fire! You could cook
it on medium heat and it would be done in 20 minutes, Mark.

Sounds like a slow cooker recipe, because of the cooking time and the fact
that it asks for prepared can of soup.

Ah, but you don't understand, Mr. Bill. You see, it is perfectly acceptable
for our resident food snob to use jarred spaghetti sauce, pre-packaged deli
meats, Sara Lee bread, but godforbid someone make mention of a can of soup
or a jar of mayonnaise. My hypocrisy meter spun its needle off when he
boasted how he taught his wife to open a jar of sauce.

Barb, he just forgot to mention it's a crockpot recipe. The time is
suitable.

Huh. Still, though, when it would take about 20 minutes for those
breasts to cook, why not do it on the stove top? I think if I were that
pressed for time or near starvation when I walk in the door after work,
I'd do the prep the night before while cleaning up supper's dishes and
detritus: slice the peppers into strips, combine the soup and the salsa
‹ heck, maybe all of it, even. Put the cooking pan on the burner. I'd
walk in the back door, turn on the burner before I took my coat off.
Remove coat, pull the stuff from the fridge and dump it into the pan and
bring to a near boil, then reduce heat, set the timer for 10 minutes,
cover it and go change my clothes and start looking at the day's mail.
After 10 minutes, turn the breasts, cover, and make a salad. At the end
of the second 10 minutes, dish it up, sit to table and eat.

True, I have a bias against crockpots, but this still seems like a
no-brainer for the stovetop.

Not coat, *hat*! That is what Edouard de Pomiane instructs you to do.

Good point, Bubba. Tomorrow is April 1 (Alex rest your soul,
Row-behr-to), and I'm still dragging my feet on putting away my winter
hats in favor of my spring hats. The weather is still crappy here and
it feels more like winter than spring. Phooey!

I cleaned the hot tub out to ready it fresh for Masters guests next
week, and planted some flowers I bought yesterday. There is so much
pollen floating about that everything is dusted yellow.

ObFood- dinner tonight to be leftover grilled flank steak, some fresh
made "crash hot potatoes" and about 2 pounds of asparagus the SO
purchased and it has been staring at me a few days. I'll probably cut it
up and saute it in olive oil, salt and pepper.

Not everyone is so pressed for time in the same way. Some of us find it
easier to 'load and forget' til it's ready.

Although I snipped your version, his takes 5 mins tops of actual 'time' to
put together and that includes 'where the heck did the can opener go'. The
breasts can even go in frozen so no defrosting time at all. (Mark, 4 hours
if you defrosted them and if not and dumping in on the way to work, set
timer to kick it on low about 5 hours before you get home).

It's just a matter of what sounds more fun to do to you personally.

I have yet to figure out what the big deal is here. It is just a
matter of personal choice. Whining about another's personal choice
just doesn't make any sense to me.

Fun? Not really. <grin> It's more like I've never made an edible
entree in a crockpot. I use it for two things: keeping cider hot, and
caramelizing onions for French onion soup.

Really? That feels odd to me, but then I've been using one for close to 30
years now. I've never tried to caramelize anything in one (I suppose it's
possible on high) but just about anything else is fair game. I draw the
line though at those silly bread recipes and cakes in a crockpot. Just not
suitable.

Everyone will agree that a pressure cooker or stove top or oven is 'faster'
(the only exception I know of is salt boiled peanuts which takes the same
amount of time as stove top). But what they mean is the actual cooking time
itself is faster. In Ferrante's case, he's been playing with a new toy and
enjoying it plus using the leftovers to reduce how often he has to cook.

I believe he said his new one is a digital with timer? That would lead to
being able to safely load it with a frozen meat type and a timer function to
kick it off about when it would be partly thawed (food safety preserved).
Most crockpot books and recipes will not show that trick but it works well.
I often do not bother to defrost a meat if it's going in the crockpot.

Grin, I don't expect you to covert your cooking style as what you have suits
you well but there's a fair number of folks out there who have mastered it.
Ferrante seems well on the path of enjoying his new toy.

Oh! If you do anything like a pulled pork butt/shoulder, bring out the
crockpot. Unlike the oven method, add no liquid at all except *small*
amounts like 1/4 cup OJ or a mix of OJ and Soy sauce to 1/4 cup (or some
vinegar etc, still total 1/4 cup). It will make it's own in there which you
can decant for gravy stock (defat as needed) and then you shred and add the
BBQ sauce etc.

I often do that for a party and just start it the night before.
