Crockpot Cashew Chicken....

This is one of my favorites, as well as our friends Brian and Angie- we have it every time they come over for dinner almost! Sooooo easy and really good..


1 pound bean sprouts (fresh is always best)
2 C. sliced chicken (cook if you like, but I put it in raw and cook longer)
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 C sliced celery
1/2 C chopped green onion
1 can mushroom pieces, drained
3 Tbl butter
1 Tbl soy sauce
Cashews- as many as you want!

Super easy- just combine all the above in your slow cooker- cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or high for 3-5 hours.... stir in cashews just before serving... I like to serve this over fresh cooked rice and with egg rolls!!
