Hilda us four love this recipe expecially the kids.

Chicken breasts
2 tins campbells condensed chicken or mushroom soup
extra mushrooms if required.
small pot of creme fraiche

Put all ingredients in slow cooker EXCEPT for the CREME FRAICHE and cook for the required time. Half an hour before serving stir in the creme fraiche and serve with potatoes and veg or rice and veg

Personally I wouldn't put chicken breast into a slow cooker, much too expensive and tender. Best cuts of meat are the cheaper one's that need long slow cooking to tenderise them, like stewing steak or stewing lamb add a few spoonfuls of pearl barley, onions, potatoes, root veg and stock and few hours later you have a lovely meal

Never said they wouldn't be nice just that they are expensive compared with true stewing meats.

lobby would be lobster..
well thats hwat i think anyway..

you have to be carefull with chicken breast as they do tend to break up and become just stringy...
