Chicken is a popular main dish no matter how it’s served – fried, baked, grilled or even in a slow cooker, like this recipe for Chicken Breasts Supreme. It offers a twist on your typical slow cooker chicken dish, though, since it calls for bacon, mushrooms and Swiss cheese.
If you want a tasty side dish to accompany the chicken, this recipe for Potatoes Parmesan is sure to be a hit. It’s also great served with grilled pork steaks or any other favorite meat.
