1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese blend (8 oz)

Chicken-Bacon-Ranch Foil Packs


Whether you make this meal in a foil pack or as a casserole, the prep is quick and easy, using a few different ingredients.

I would make this as a casserole by placing the ingredients in a casserole dish and bake covered in a 400 degree oven (which may need to be tweaked a bit).  The foil pack method is attractive as a no-mess alternative.

Many reviewers of this recipe used sliced potatoes instead of brocolli with great results.  Some used italian dressing instead of ranch.  Of course I would add fresh mushrooms!







Ingredients

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, each cut in half lengthwise
1 cup ranch dressing
1 bag (12 oz) frozen broccoli florets, cooked 
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (8 oz)
6 slices bacon, cooked, crumbled


Directions

Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 6 sheets of heavy-duty foil with cooking spray.

Place 1 boneless skinless chicken breast half in center of each sheet of foil. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper. Top each with 2 tablespoons ranch dressing, 1/4 cup cooked Green Giant™ Valley Fresh Steamers™ broccoli florets, 1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon crumbled cooked bacon.
Wrap each foil pack.  Bring 2 sides of foil up over chicken-broccoli mixture so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again.  Allow space on sides for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal. Place foil packets on ungreased large cookie sheet.

Bake 30 minutes. (Some reviewers reported having to bake longer for 50 minutes)

Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving. 

Serve with additional ranch dressing, if desired.

Rustic Chicken Gratin



This recipe will be an experiment in spices and flavors since I have never used curry and have no idea what it tastes like.  I'm broadening my horizons!

I would make a simple change . . . use fresh vegetables, it is what is preferred. Maybe I'm weird, but I don't usually like the taste of frozen vegetables and prefer fresh.  As far as mushrooms, canned is ok, but I absolutely love fresh mushrooms.

Cheddar cheese?  I will use it the first time, but I'm not convinced this will be as good as it could be with another type of cheese.







Serving Size / Yield
4-6 servings




Ingredients


    • 1 C. butter
    • 1 C. onion, chopped
    • 1 C. flour
    • 1 tsp . salt
    • 1/2 tsp. curry powder

    • 1 (13-oz.) can evaporated milk
    • 1 (10-oz.) pkg. frozen broccoli spears, drained
    • 3 chicken breasts, chopped
    • 2 C. cheddar cheese, shredded
    • 4 C. white rice, cooked


Directions

Preheat oven at 375 degrees F. 


Melt butter in skillet, add onions and saute until tender. Remove skillet from heat. 

Stir in flour, salt and curry. 

Drain mushrooms. Add water to 1/2 C. mushroom liquid and add to flour mixture in skillet. 

Blend in evaporated milk until smooth and add mushrooms. 

Cook over medium heat, stirring until sauce thickens. 

Spread cooked rice on bottom of 13-by-9-inch baking dish. 

Arrange chicken and broccoli over rice. 

Pour sauce over mixture and cover with cheese. 

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Cover and simmer 50 minutes to 1 hour or until chicken is done. Remove from heat. Remove chicken from broth; cool 30 minutes. Remove and reserve 3/4 cup cooking liquid. Strain any remaining cooking liquid, and reserve for another use.
Preheat oven to 350°. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, and sauté 6 to 7 minutes or until tender. Add bell pepper and garlic, and sauté 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in reserved 3/4 cup cooking liquid, cream of mushroom soup, and next 5 ingredients. Cook, stirring occasionally, 8 minutes.

Chicken and Vegetable Alfredo Casserole




Great variety of vegetables and lots of room for variation is what this recipe offers.

The crunchy topping has grabbed by attention for use in other recipes.

There are some variation suggestions at the end of the recipe, one is to experiment with alfredo sauce flavors, which I highly recommend!  

My favorite is roasted red pepper alfredo sauce that is so flavorful and delicious, it does not taste like it came out of a jar . . . and it really does not matter what brand you use.  Another thing I like to do with the roasted red pepper sauce is include some cut roasted red pepper, either fresh or the ones that come in a jar (which is a great item to keep in the pantry to perk up many dishes).

As with all recipes, this semi-homemade recipe can be adapted to fresh vegetables or the combination of vegetables that you prefer.  Recipes are just a guide!





Ingredients

    • 1 bag (19 oz) Green Giant® frozen broccoli & carrots with garlic & herbs 
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour 
    • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 
    • 1/3 cup cold butter or margarine, cut into small pieces 
    • 1 egg, slightly beaten 
    • 1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken 
    • 1 jar (16 oz) four-cheese Alfredo pasta sauce 
    • 1 can (15.25 oz) Green Giant® whole kernel sweet corn, drained


Directions

Heat oven to 375°F. In large microwavable bowl, microwave broccoli & carrot mixture as directed on package, using minimum cook time.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix flour, Parmesan cheese, butter and egg with pastry blender or fork until crumbly. Set aside.

To hot vegetables in large bowl, add chicken, pasta sauce and corn. Stir gently to combine. Pour into ungreased 2-quart casserole or 9-inch deep-dish glass pie plate. Sprinkle with crumbly mixture.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until topping is golden brown.


Tips from Pillsbury:

Two cans (5 oz each) tuna in water, drained and flaked, can be used in place of the chicken.

Alfredo sauce comes in different flavor varieties. Experiment to find your favorite.

Buffalo Chicken and Roasted Potatoes Casserole




Another awesome chicken recipe!  It seems like since I started the chicken theme a while back, I can't stop myself . . . we love chicken . . . and I still have lots of family recipes that just need photos . . . and those that are in my filing cabinets full of newspaper and magazine clippings.  I always say you can never have enough chicken recipes!

Anyway . . . I love the flavors of buffalo chicken wings, but I just don't like wings.  So I have been on a mission to find recipes that are similar.  

This recipe is a combination of buffalo chicken wings and baked potatoes in a cheesy casserole . . . YUMMY!!!  This is a keeper for sure!!

Just a note about potatoes . . . I have adopted a new way of preparing potatoes. No matter how they will be used in the meal, I cook them partially in the microwave.  I really hate to bite into a potato that is not completely done and they take forever to cook thoroughly.  For this meal, we cubed the potatoes and cooked them in the microwave in a steamer type of container for 2 minutes. Seems to me they soak up the sauce a little better before going into the oven.  






Makes 10 servings



Ingredients

    • cooking spray
    • 3-6 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (depending on your heat preference)
    • 1/3 cup olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (use less depending on your heat preference)
    • 1 tablespoon paprika
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    • 8 potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
    • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
    • 3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
    • 1 cup diced green onions
    • Blue cheese dressing for dipping sauce



Directions

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.


Heat hot pepper sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, and salt in a large skillet over low heat, stirring until thoroughly combined. Turn off heat. 

Toss potatoes in the hot pepper sauce mixture to coat, using a slotted spoon to transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking dish. 

Leave remaining sauce in skillet. Mix chicken into remaining sauce and allow to marinate while potatoes roast.

Bake potatoes until tender inside and crisp and brown outside, 45 to 50 minutes, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes.

Reduce oven heat to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).

Spread chicken cubes over roasted potatoes followed with the cheese and green onions over the chicken. 

Return to oven and bake until chicken is cooked through and the cheese topping is bubbling, about 15 minutes.

Chicken Tortilla Casserole





Comfort food would be my choice if I had to choose my favorite type of food. In my opinion, all chicken casseroles fall into that category. The Captain laughs at my use of many starches and carbs in one meal, but I LOVE this type of meal with some mashed potatoes, maybe a batch of biscuits . . . THAT is comfort!

This recipe courtesy of Trisha Yearwood and The Food Network show Trisha's Southern Kitchen.

I'm anxious to try out this recipe since I have never used the concept of a tortilla-topped casserole and the addition of the green chiles has peaked my curiousity.






Ingredients


    • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    • Salt
    • Chicken Gravy, recipe follows
    • 1 cup canned green chiles, chopped and drained
    • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
    • Cooking spray
    • Twenty-four 6-inch corn tortillas
    • 3 cups shredded Cheddar


Chicken Gravy:

    • 6 tablespoons butter
    • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour



Directions

Add the chicken to a large stockpot, cover with water and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool. When cool enough to handle, shred the chicken and set aside. Reserve 3 1/3 cups of the broth (1 cup is for the chicken gravy, supplement with boxed stock if you don't have enough.)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13- by 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

In a large saucepan, combine 2 1/3 cups of the reserved broth, the Chicken Gravy, green chiles, onions, garlic, sour cream, cumin, salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.

Spread 1 cup of the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Arrange a layer of 6 tortillas over the mixture, and then top with 1 cup shredded chicken and 1/2 cup of the Cheddar. Repeat this layer three more times, ending with cheese. Spread any remaining mixture over the cheese. Make sure all of the tortillas are covered or they will get very hard during baking. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

Chicken Gravy:

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and the flour turns light brown in color. Gradually whisk in the stock and milk and continue to stir while cooking over medium heat. When the mixture thickens, after about 5 minutes, whisk in some salt and pepper.

A note about making the gravy . . . the milk is optional, many people use only chicken stock, but I like to add some milk a couple of teaspoons at a time until the desired consistency is achieved to give the gravy more creaminess.

The Captain and I really enjoyed the Cornbread Stuffing Chicken Casserole made with Stove Top Stuffing so much!  We found this recipe on the box of Stove Top Stuffing the last time we made the casserole and thought it would be another great recipe using the stuffing mix.

It is another one of those semi-homemade meals that I am really loving as we try more recipes of this type.

We haven't made this meal yet, but plan to do so in the near future!

By the way, this is not a sponsored review for Stove Top Stuffing or Kraft Foods . . . it is just a product we love.

Almond Chicken Casserole



Corn flake and almond topping sounds yummy!  I also love the combination of all the ingredients.  Water chestnuts along with the topping provides lots of crunch.  Another one of those "comfort food" chicken meals!

    • 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream

Cornbread Stuffing Chicken Casserole



This is comfort food at its best for me!  It doesn't get easier than the convenience of the "cream of" soups and cornbread stuffing mix for a quick and delicious meal.  This is also a very versatile recipe!

You will keep coming back to this chicken casserole over and over again . . . it is so good!   I make mine  with or without sour cream, but add one more can of my favorite type of "cream of" soup (chicken) if the sour cream is not used.

For some variation, add some steamed broccoli and substitute cream of broccoli soup for the listed soup.  Another variation for mushroom lovers would be cream of mushroom soup with fresh mushrooms.

In my opinion, the cream of celery and cream of chicken makes the best gravy, however, use what you like!  We found that using sour cream makes it even creamier.  Stove Top Stuffing Mix is what I prefer to use.

The prep work for this meal is so easy and a great recipe for a beginning cook who wants great results with little effort or cooking skills.  We used shredded precooked chicken, but it would be just as easy to pull out some frozen chicken tenderloins and quickly pan fry them before putting the casserole together.

The casserole itself is delicious with awesome creaminess, with or without sour cream.  The Captain mentioned that he loved the way the stuffing on the top made an awesome crunchy topping, while some of it blended in with the creamy mixture.  Very nice combination!

This casserole is perfect for pot luck meals!  Try it . . . you'll probably love it!






Ingredients


    • Cooked chicken, cut up in bite sized pieces
    •  (the equivalent of a whole chicken)
    • 8 oz sour cream or another can of "Cream of" soup
    • 1 can Cream of Chicken soup
    • 1 can Cream of Celery soup
    • 1 box cornbread stuffing, uncooked
    • 1 cup chicken broth
    • 1/2 stick melted butter



Directions

Preheat oven to 350.

Place chicken in the bottom of the dish (9 x 13).  


Mix the "cream of" soups and sour cream (if you choose to use the sour cream). Spread over the chicken.

Place the uncooked cornbread stuffing over the soup mixture.  Heat in the microwave . . . the broth and melted butter until butter is melted and pour over all of the casserole.

Bake uncovered at 350° for 30 minutes. Serves approximately 6 - 8.
