Chicken Biscuit Casserole

"Chicken biscuit casserole is rich and satisfying with a broccoli cheddar base and a buttery biscuit topping. The recipe comes together in about an hour and is a great way to use up leftover chicken."  Comment from Taste of Home

There are so many things I love about this recipe.  It is quick and easy, great to use up leftovers or use rotisserie chicken, use canned biscuits making it semi-homemade.  I have no doubt this will be a recipe that I will make on a regular basis.

"My husband likes Mexican food and casseroles, so I combined the two. This chicken with poblanos and chiles satisfies our craving for dinner at a Mexican restaurant." Comment from recipe creator Erica Ingram, Lakewood, Ohio for Taste of Home

This recipe is quick and easy using Jiffy Mix and rotisserie chicken and looks delicious.  Also looks easy to make half of the recipe for someone like me cooking for one with leftovers.

Our Best Jambalaya

 


Photo source:  Southern Living

"While Southerners may differ on what exactly makes jambalaya, there’s no arguing that it is a classic dish rooted in the South. While most jambalayas are made with rice cooked with ham, sausage, chicken, shrimp, or oysters and seasoned with herbs, some recipes call for tomatoes or celery, while others do not. Our Best Jambalaya recipe is a delicious mix of andouille sausage, chicken, and shrimp, and takes just an hour to make."  Comment from Southern Living

This is another dish that I have wanted to try for a long but never have.  My hesitation is the andouille sausage and whether I will like it or not.  I was thinking of making this jambalaya recipe with italian sausage.  If I do, I will leave my results with the italian sausage or the andouille sausage.
