Summer Crock Pot Recipes
Two things are always on sale at the grocery store during the hot summer months. Boneless chicken breasts and in season fresh asparagus. Cooking these two ingredients together in the slow cooker accomplish a couple of things.
First off cooking in a slow cooker during the hot summer months avoids heating up the house by cooking on the stove or using the oven.
I don’t know about where you live but it is scorching hot here in S. W. Florida. My ac unit can’t keep up with the heat! My crock pot is a life saver during the hot summer months!
Secondly, you save money at the grocery store by buying ingredients when they are on sale and at their lowest prices.
Stock up when the prices are low to help keep the grocery store bill low! Buy boneless chicken breasts in bulk and freeze it in meal size packages to use for other summer meals.

- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Lawrey’s Seasoned Salt
- Ground black pepper
- 1 can cream chicken soup
- 1 can cream celery soup
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 cup shredded medium cheddar cheese, divided

- In a mixing bowl mix the canned cream soup with the milk until combined. Add 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese and mix.

I made this for dinner last night and it was great! Two things: First, the recipe didn’t specify how much asparagus to use; I used an entire bunch. Second, it also doesn’t say what to do with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese, so being a cook, I put it on top of the chicken when it was plated. Otherwise, it worked.

Glad you enjoyed the recipe. You can use as much asparagus as you like. The remaining 1/2 cup of cheese did go on at the end in the slow cooker to melt.

I’m confused how long you put it in for? 4 hours on high or low?
