It Gets Butter - Paul Fifer

In this episode, I get to talk to one-half of the Skittle Squad Podcast, Paul Fifer. Paul opens up about struggles with family, abuse, and more as a child, and how he got through that and became a beloved member of the local community. He also shares a crockpot recipe that reminds him of his mom. I might also judge him harshly for a childhood food memory. #itgetsbutter #skittlesquad #lgbtqia #chickenrecipe #crockpotcooking #abusesurvivors Crockpot Chicken and Noodles: 4 chicken breasts (boneless / skinless) 3/4 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder 2 10.5-oz cans Cream of Chicken soup 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut in slices 2 teaspoons Better than Bouillon chicken flavor (reduced sodium) 4 cups low sodium chicken broth 24 oz Reames Homestyle Egg Noodles (frozen) - this is the best for this recipe but can also use 8 oz of dry wide egg noodles 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (optional) - I never put veggies in mine because ew 1. Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, and garlic powder. 2. Spread the soup over the top of the chicken. 3. Add the sliced butter on top of the soup layer. 4. Mix together the bouillon and chicken broth to dissolve it. Then pour over chicken / soup layers. 5. Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on Low for 4-6 hours, or until chicken is done and can be easily shredded. 6. Remove the chicken to a plate using tongs. Cover and set aside. 7. Add the noodles to the soup mixture (and frozen veggies if using - ew). Stir well. Place the lid back on and cook on High for another 1-2 hours, stirring halfway through cook time. If using dry egg noodles, add them about 12-15 minutes before serving. Stir them in and place the lid back on. Or boil them on the stove and add them before serving. 8. Meanwhile, use two forks to shred chicken. Then cover so it doesn't dry out. 9. When the noodles are done, add the shredded chicken to the crockpot and mix well. If the chicken and noodles are too thick for your liking, just add some hot water or broth. 10. Serve hot - duh!
