My daughter made this last night. She created it herself!

A while back, I picked up a second-hand West Bend slow-cooking casserole (kind of a small, rectangular non-stick pan with a tempered glass lid that can be used as a separate casserole dish). Now that Debra's doing the housekeeping in the apartment, I told her to go ahead and use it since it didn't do any good just sitting in my car. She made this last night and said it was excellent. She's cutting back on her carbs, so there's not a lot in this. Boneless, skinless chicken tenders (I believe the pkg was only about 1 lb.) Bag of mixed California-style vegetables Can chicken broth Can cream of celery soup Chopped green onions, to taste Layer in order given and cook. She said the chicken was so tender and moist, she wasn't even sure it was all the way cooked until she cut into it. She plans to do this again. It only took 2-3 hours to cook. Now, I might try this, but this is what I'd do different. I'd cut the tenders up into smaller pieces. I might opt for cream of chicken mushroom, but haven't decided. And, I'd use regular diced onions instead of green onions which I like less. And, I'd serve it over either noodles or rice. But, it's not bad for one of her first self-designed recipes. Whether she's happy with it is what counts most! She was first on her own at 17, but my son & fiancee also lived with her, and he did most of the cooking. He still does for his family. She's now building up her own kitchen tools and is learning to use them and get creative! It's a huge change from when she once used my microwave to make a "grilled" cheese sandwich! So, if you have adult children who are just starting out, have they created anything that they were proud to share with you? Or if you're still young, what was the first thing you made that you didn't need to use a recipe to make (or one of the first things, if you don't remember)? How did it turn out? I'd like to know.
