I put this together for dinner last night using what I had available in my freezer and pantry. It was really good and required only a little of my time to prepare.

2 (10.5 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
1 cup instant rice
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 (6.5 ounce) can mushroom stems & pieces, drained
1 teaspoon curry powder
4 large chicken breast halves

1. In a 5-quart crock-pot or slow cooker, stir together the soups, rice, onion, mushrooms and curry powder. Place the chicken breasts on top.

2. Cover and cook on High for 3 hours or on Low for 4 to 5 hours. Makes 4 servings.

1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
