I Need a Good Multi-Grain Bread Recipe

I'm desperate for a good recipe for 1 loaf of multi-grain bread not made in a bread machine (I've worn out 3 of them and can't really afford another). I don't mind if it has 1 to 1 1/2 cups of white flour but I want to incorporate different grains and seeds. So much of what I find isn't true multi-grain or it makes more than 1 loaf (I'm the only one here that eats healthy so more than one loaf won't keep).

I hope someone can help me out.

Crockpot Sherry Chicken

Ingredients

  • 2 - 3 whole chicken breasts, halved, and only partially thawed.
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 2 Tbsp. of butter
  • 1/2 cup dry cooking sherry
  • 1 tsp. tarragon or rosemarie
  • 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 4 oz. can of mushrooms, drained

Directions

Rinse partially thawed chicken breasts and pat dry. Place in the bottom of the crockpot.

In a saucepan on the stove, combine the remaining ingredients, except for the mushrooms. Heat until smooth and hot. Pour over the chicken breasts and cook on low for 5 - 7 hours. Add the mushrooms in the last hour. Leaving the chicken breasts partially thawed lets them cook nicely and not become too dried out.

This makes a great company dish.
