Crockpot Tomato Ranch Chicken-Sheia Korth

4 to 6 Chicken Breasts (can be frozen to start)
1 onion sliced into rings
1/4 cup melted butter
1 pkg Ranch Dressing mix
2 cloves minced garlic (optional)
1 large can diced tomatoes(drain for thicker sauce)
or 2 or 3 fresh diced tomatoes
1 can cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup
salt and pepper to taste
Rice

Layer onion and chicken breasts in crock pot. Melt butter and mix in Ranch Dressing mix, and garlic(optional). Pour over top of chicken. Set on low if you have all day to cook, or high for 1/2 day (turn down to low once chicken is thawed and starting to cook if it started frozen). Let cook for several hours before adding tomatoes on top.

About 1/2 hour before eating, remove chicken (wrap to keep warm) and put tomato and onions into a bowl. Whisk soup mix in with the juices in the crock pot and warm- this becomes your sauce.

Place chicken breast on a bed of rice. Spoon on tomatoes and onions and top with sauce. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

**I just had a thought-add some crumbled bacon on top!

Bread Machine Rolls- Sheia Korth

I use this recipe for dinner rolls, hamburger buns, cinnamon rolls, calzones, scones, donuts, etc. ."Y" roll created by Byran-who else? :)

Put ingredients into bread machine in this order:

1 cup warm water

2 TBS margarine (soften or cut up if hard)

1 egg

3 ¼ cups BREAD flour

¼ cup sugar

1 tsp. salt

Make a volcano in the dry ingredients and add

2 3/4 tsp. instant yeast

Set machine on dough cycle (1:30 on my machine). When dough finishes it should round above the top of your bread machine pan an inch or so-if it doesn't, let it rise until it does.

Roll dough out on floured surface about ½ inch thick, and cut circles with a circle biscuit cutter or drinking glass (Do not roll all the way to the edges-uniform thickness). Fold opposite sides of circle to overlap in center of circle and pinch through dough in the middle to secure the roll shape and create the "dimple" on the top side. Place on greased sheet with dimple side up and overlapped dough underneath. Cover with a damp cloth or loose Pam-sprayed-Seran-wrap and let rise until *doubled. REMOVE COVER!

Bake at 375 for10-13 min. Rub tops with butter while still hot.

Yeild: 15-18 dinner rolls

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

For hamburger buns, cut dough with circle cutter and let rise on greased cookie sheet without folding and pinching. Can use large tuna can to cut larger circles.

*For quicker rising, place a pan of water on the bottom rack of oven and pre-heat oven to lowest temp (150-170). Turn oven off and place covered rolls in oven for 10-15 minutes. Remove rolls (leave water) and pre-heat oven to 375. Bake rolls with water in oven.

**Mrs. Rhodes Style- make dough, form rolls then cover and flash-freeze dough on a cookie sheet before rising. Put rolls in a ziplock bag when frozen. Place frozen rolls on cookie sheet, cover, let rise, and bake as directed above.
