We’re having crockpot Chicken Fetticine tonight and it’s one of those unbelievably easy and tasty meals so I thought I’d post it here for you. My friend Jana shared it with me years ago and it remains a family favorite to this day!
Chicken Fetticine
- 4-5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts–thawed
- 1 package Italian dressing seasoning
- 6 oz cream cheese
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 small can mushroom pieces (optional)
- 1 (12 oz) package fetticine noodles (we like the spinach enriched ones…fetticine florentine)
Place chicken and Italian seasonings ONLY in the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Add rest of ingredients except fetticine noodles, and cook for another half hour. Meanwhile, boil noodles according to package instructions. Serve over cooked noodles, or mix all together!
This makes enough for a family of 5 with leftovers, and it’ll stick to your ribs!
mmm yum! My family would love this and it looks so easy – mind if I print it out?
Sounds tasty. But “6-8 hours”?
.
By the way: have you heard about the new trend in cooking, called “slow food”? I have met one of the founders of the movement, an Italian, Carlo Barsotti (living in Sweden, he had a lecture in the school I work), and I liked the idea very much. I even bought his book

Sure, Amy, just send ME the royalty check!!
This is a super duper family favorite and one I hadn’t made in a while…thanks for the reminder Mary!
Ann~it is WORTH the wait. All the time in the crockpot makes the chicken truly melt in your mouth tender.
Thank you a billion times over. This sounds absolutely delicious. . . and it cooks in the crockpot! What could be better?
So has anyone tried this recipe yet? :O) You know you are always welcome to print off anything from my site!
Ann, I’m intrigued by your slow food…had to c&p this from the site:
Why is it called Slow Food?~A nod to the contrast with fast food values, Slow Food is a reference to living an unhurried life, beginning at the table.
Wow, I’m ALL for that!

Found your site looking for references to slow food and landed on this page.
I think that slow does not necessarilly mean slow, but is about getting back into the kitchen and cooking anything, rather than relying upon fast food and takeaways.
I assume that your reference to a crockpot is to what we would call a slow cooker in the UK, whereby a pot is kept just at a slow simmer over the course of a day? It is especially well suited to the less tender cuts of meant (e.g. Skirt of beef). I am surprised to hear of it used for a tender breast of chicken.
Yes, I’ve heard it called a slow-cooker also, so I’m sure we’re talking about the same thing. The chicken is so tender, it just shreds apart easily with a fork. We love this recipe!
I was so intrigued by the “slow food” concept…especially in light of your definition. Fast food is a rare thing for our family, we love home-cooking! Thanks for commenting, I’ll be sure to check out your food site!

Looks amazing! This is what I’m cooking for dinner tonight. Chicken Fettecine is one of my favorite dishes to begin with and this looks so good! Thanks for the recipe!
Anything that involves one pot cooking gets my vote.
Tonight I had just the most amazing curry, all completed in one pot (apart from some rice) and thought that I would share with you :
It has been said that “this is the only curry recipe you’ll ever need” …I must say it is the best curry i have ever made at home, so try it yourself! You won’t be disappointed.
The Ingredients
- 250g (9oz) Ghee/Clarified Butter
- 65g (2 1/2oz) Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Red Chilli Powder
- 1 tablespoon Ground Cumin
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 550g (1 1/4lb) Onions Chopped
- 50g (2oz) Fresh Ginger, peeled and chopped
- 900g (2lb) Boneless leg or shoulder of Lamb (1½ in) cubes
- 120ml (4fl oz) water
- 3 tablespoons Fresh Coriander (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Ground Turmeric
- 350g (12oz) Fresh Spinach washed with large stalks removed
- 4 medium sized Green Chillies with stalks removed
- ½ tablespoon Garam Masala
- 1 x 400g (140z) Can Chopped Toms
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Ground Coriander
- A pinch of ground cumin and freshly ground black pepper to serve
Method
1. Heat the ghee in a large, heavy based pan. Add the onions and cook over a medium heat, stirring now and then, for 20 minutes until they are soft and a light brown
2. Put the tomatoes, water, ginger and garlic into a liquidizer and blend until smooth. Remove the fried onions with a slotted spoon, add them to the paste and blend briefly until smooth.
3. Return the puree to the ghee left in the pan and add the lamb and salt. Simmer for 30 minutes, by which time the lamb will be half cooked and the sauce will be well reduced. Stir in the turmeric, chilli powder, cumin, paprika and ground coriander and continue to cook for 30-45 minutes for shoulder or 45-1 hour for leg, until the lamb is tender, adding a little water now and then if the sauce starts to stick.
4. Meanwhile, put 175g (6oz) of the spinach leaves into a large pan and cook until it has wilted down into the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 minute, then transfer to the rinsed out liquidizer and blend to a smooth puree. Set aside. Rinse out the liquidiser again and add the green chillies and 2-3 tablespoons of water and blend until smooth. Set aside.
5. When the lamb is cooked, there should be a layer of ghee floating on the top of the curry. You can either skim it off or leave it there, whichever you prefer (leave it). Then stir in the spinach puree and the remaining spinach leaves and cook for 2 minutes.
6. Now taste the curry and add as much green chilli puree as you wish, according to how hot you like your curries. Simmer for 2 minutes more.
7. Stir in the fresh coriander and Garam Masala. Transfer the curry to a serving dish and sprinkle with a little more ground cumin and some freshly ground black pepper just before you take it to the table.
Serve with your choice of rice, Naan breads, Poppadoms and whatever else you can cram in.
Um…WOW! This curry sounds SO good! I can just imagine all those delicious spices blending in my mouth! And our farm neighbors raise and butcher their own lambs…..what is Garam Masala though? And Poppadoms? THANK you for sharing this recipe here!
You’re welcome Online Payday Loans! ;O) I need to make this with some of my home grown broiler chicken meat! Yummy!
Garam Masala is a pre-blended spice selection. I haven’t tried omitting it is it proves to get difficult to get hold of, but a quick google search will give you a recipe for blending your own.
Garam Masala is often used as a final seasoning in Indian cooking.
Poppadoms are an unleavened bread that is more of a crisp wafer (usually around 6-7 inch discs) …. I particularly like them as an appetiser with spiced onions and a selection of Indian chutneys .. e.g. Hot Lime Pickle, Mango Chutney etc..
Thank you R4i DSi, for explaining Garam Masala and Poppadoms!
This one looks very easy indeed! You could create a healthier version by replacing cream cheese with low fat parmesan cheese, but it might change the taste a lot.
Anyways, thank you very much! I will try it soon
Yeah, I can’t imagine it without the cream cheese, but parmesan would be a great enhancer to this, that’s for sure!
Thanks for the interesting chicken fettuccine recipe. This sounds absolutely delicious and cant wait to cook it up.
You’re welcome, Myles! It’s a favorite around here. Hmm, wish I had some fetticine on hand…that would be perfect for tomorrow night’s supper!
What do green superfoods provide? They supply essential nutrients to your current diet, add on years to your life span, and also combat the signs of aging. There are many different superfoods but 3 of them are the most important green superfoods in terms of anti aging. What are they? Wheatgrass, Spirulina, and Chlorella.
There are many factors that cause cell damage in our body chemistry including outdoor pollution, environmental toxins, food preservatives, and even a majority of toxins. When our cells become damaged it can affect us both mentally and physically. This is because our body is not always able to completely remove the harmful toxins therefore the free radicals begin their destruction on the cells. You are probably aware that our skin is the biggest organ in our body but it’s also the very first to display any signs of aging including wrinkles and lines.
Chlorella
What is Chlorella? Chlorella is actually an amazing anti aging supplement that has been called ‘nature’s fountain of youth.’ Chlorella supplies a large amount of chlorophyll, an impressive antioxidant that applies itself to weighty metals and rids them from the body. Chlorella will help you feel and look younger but it will also enhance your memory and decrease brain damage. Chlorella is by far one of the best anti aging foods in the world.
Spirulina
What is Spirulina? It is blue-green algae that offers health benefits that aid in the anti aging process. Spirulina also provides a variety of nutrients found in the sun, water, and also plants.
The blue-green algae, Spirulina, is related to a vast range of both health and nutritional benefits. Spirulina comes in different forms such as pills, flakes, powders, and tablets. You can find it in practically any health food store. It is a very powerful antioxidant that helps decrease both mental and physical signs that accompany age. It is also one of the utmost important green superfoods.
At one time few had ever heard of Spirulina but nowadays many people are talking about it. That’s because it’s a great supplement when you want anti-aging results. You will start to see a younger you but also feel younger and find that you have more energy.
Wheatgrass
You might be familiar with wheatgrass, a baby wheat plant, because it is well known for offering health and anti aging benefits. Wheatgrass comes available in the form of a supplement or juice. You can find wheatgrass in smoothies also but in either form it is just as powerful and effective.
Those are not the only main green superfoods that offer marvelous anti aging benefits but they are three common ones. Many people today do not have diets that include the very important nutrients our bodies we need. This means we are lacking the proper amount of antioxidants our body needs to effectively remove any toxins which is one reason some people may appear to ‘age’ quicker than others.
By incorporating the three mentioned green superfoods; spirulina, wheatgrass, and chlorella, you can begin setting up your defensive line against aging. By doing so you can start looking younger and even feel younger in no time.

We can’t beat big business and stop them from producing products that cause a vast majority of America’s Health problems because they’re after quanity and profits. Until they see the market shift and start losing money, they won’t change. That’s up to us and it’s time we demand better, safer, healthier supplements, vitamins, and food. We can show them, we the consumers are in control. That all starts with education and helping educate people who have not yet learned about these subjects.
