Chicken Pot Pie

Thank you Courtney for sharing this easy recipe!
I made them in individual pans for fun, if you are having company, it's a nice little meal to make, you might want something fancy, but this is nice for those guests that are family!



Chicken Pot Pie

Ingredients

1 16 oz bag of veggies (peas, corn, carrots, etc) thawed
3 ish chicken breasts ALMOST fully cooked diced (I cook it till its a little pink in the middle)
1 - 2 cans cream of something - onion, chicken, mushroom,(I like to use 2 to mix flavors)I used Cream of Chicken and Cream of Poblano
2 servings of Bisquick (egg, milk, water, powder)
Shredded cheddar
Butter

Preheat Oven to 400

Begin thawing the veggies (just put the bag in hot water), and cooking the chicken (i do it on the stove with a splash of water to keep it moist). Make 2 servings of bisquick in a bowl -- add as much or as little shredded cheese as you like.

lightly grease round or rectangle baking dish, or use those individual throw away dishes like I did. Mix together veggies, soup, and diced chicken and spread evenly across dish. Pour Bisquick mixture over top of soup/veggie mixture. Put in oven for 25 minutes or until brown. Melt about 2 tablespoons of butter. Spread over browned Bisquick top and place back in oven for 2 minutes.

Remove, poke a few holes, let it cool for 5, then serve.

Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo... really creamy!

heat sauce until thickens

This is a family recipe from my mother in law, but I am pretty sure I added some things to make it more fattening! haha, also, I cook all the sauce in one pan until it thicken's up, and add asiago cheese sometimes, I think it tastes like the Olive Garden's!


Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

1 box fettuccine noodles
1 stick of butter
2 cups Parmesan cheese or (1 parmesan 1 asiago) I think when you mix the two it tastes delicious!
1 egg yolk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cloves of garlic minced
salt and pepper to taste


1 lb of chicken boiled and shredded

boil noodles, drain and set aside. In a medium sauce pan cook garlic over medium heat, add the butter, once melted remove from heat and mix heavy whipping cream in with the egg yoke to the butter mixture. Add the cheese to the mixture and salt and pepper. Heat sauce on low until it thickens and cheese melts. Pour over noodles and add in chicken, I always end up adding some more whipping cream into the noodles to make it a little more creamy and then I top with Parm cheese! Very rich and creamy and good!

Kourtney's Krazy Kream Cheese Enchilada's

My friend Kourtney makes these amazing enchilada's. This particular night she made them for me and took pictures and then brought them to my house. I have made them once and they were easy to make, so here is the recipe, hope you enjoy them too! They are SOOOO good!

Kourtney's Krazy Kream Cheese Enchiladas

1-2lbs. if ground meat

large can of enchilada sauce

2 packs of enchilada seasoning

8 oz. of cream cheese

16 oz. of shredded cheese

10-15 medium size tortillas

large can of tomato sauce

Cook the ground meat, drain, and add 1 pack of enchilada seasoning. Cut cream cheese in desired size strips. Mix can of tomato and enchilada sauce together in a saucepan, add the other enchilada seasoning. Cook on low heat for a few minutes. Spray dish with Pam, pour the sauce on the bottom of the pan. Dip the tortilla in the sauce, add shredded cheese, cream cheese, meat and roll...repeat until all are done. Pour the remaining sauce on the top and cover with shredded cheese. Cook at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes covered with foil.

Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

1 large pork tenderloin (Trish suggested getting the large pork tenderloin from Costco, so that it what we got)
2 (8oz) pkg, cream cheese (we used about 2 1/2)
1 jar roasted red peppers
1 pkg bacon, cooked, crumbled
2 pkgs. dried pesto seasoning (like Knorr brand, can be found by the gravy/dressing mixes)
Spinach leaves, fresh (to taste)
olive oil
salt & pepper
paprika

If you are using the large tenderloin from Costco, cut it almost in half, then cut the halves almost in half again so that you kind of unfold it a few times and try to pound it out flat. (If you are using another kind of pork tenderloin, try to spread it out and get it nice and flat). Once the tenderloin is flat and has a good surface area, spread the cream cheese all over the top. Lay the roasted red peppers over the cream cheese then sprinkle on the crumbled bacon.

Evenly sprinkle on the packages dried pesto seasoning and lay the spinach leaves all over the top. Roll the pork up (like you would if you were making cinnamon rolls) and tie it shut with 3 or 4 things of kitchen twine. or use toothpicks, that is what I used... it was all I had! Next, rub olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper all over the pork and place in a greased baking dish (you might have to cut it in half for it to fit) or you can put it on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350-degrees about 60-90 minutes or until pork is cooked through. Once cooked, slice and serve!

**This makes quite a lot. After rolling, but before baking, cut it into thirds or fourths. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze!
