Chicken Pot Pie

Simple and Delicious Chicken Pot Pie

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 55-60 minutes

Servings: 6 – 8

Ingredients:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and chopped (I buy a roasted chicken from the grocery store and use the breast meat)

1 10.5-ounce can of condensed cream of celery soup (or cream of potato)

1 10.5-ounce can of condensed cream of chicken soup

1 can of diced potatoes, drained (half a can if using cream of potato soup)

½ cup water

½ small bag frozen peas and carrots

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

¼ teaspoon paprika

2 prepared pie crusts (I buy a frozen deep dish 2-pack - no need to dirty pie tin)

Melted butter for brushing pie crusts

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 F.

In a large bowl, whisk the soups and water together.

Stir in chicken, frozen vegetables, potatoes, salt, pepper and paprika.

Place one pie crust in bottom of a pie tin. (This is already done for you if you’re using frozen crusts)

Pour filling into pie crust.

Top with remaining pie crust and press the edges of the two crusts together to seal.

Make a few small slits on the top.

Brush crust with melted butter.

Bake for 50-60 minutes.

Chicken Pitas

2-ish pounds of chicken
bbq sauce
grated cheese
pita pockets (I bought Greek flat bread one time by accident and my husband likes that even better)

Cook chicken and shred/cut up. Mix with as much barbecue sauce as you like. Put in warmed pita pocket and top with grated cheese. This is also good cold.

Alfredo Sauce

This recipe is NOT for the "low fat" diet concious :-)

1 Cube real Butter
1 Cup Heavy Cream
3/4 Cup fresh grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 tsp. Garlic Salt

Mix all ingredients into a small sauce pan. Heat on medium until butter and cheese are melted and sauce is smooth.

Pour over your favorite pasta. I add cooked chicken or shrimp and broccli to make a complete meal then serve with garlic bread. It is super delicious!! Better than any restaurant

(I cut up chicken into bite size chunks. Stir fry in butter and sprinkle with Lawrey's Salt. Same with shrimp - just buy the kind with no shells and stir fry the same way)

To make easy garlic bread just cut french bread in half (lengthwise) spread with butter and sprinkle lightly with garlic salt and parsley flakes. Toast in a toaster oven (or under broiler) 'till golden brown. Remove from oven and slice into individual size servings.

ENJOY!!

Chicken Supreme

This is one of my kid's most favorite meals.
Layer the following in a 2-qt casserole dish:
1 cup rice, cooked
1 cup cooked, cut up chicken
1 can cream of something soup mixed with 1/2 cup milk and 1 cup peas.
The top layer is uncooked stuffing, crushed, mixed with 1/4 cup melted butter.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

This recipe is easily adjusted to your family's preference. (ie. more or less chicken, more or less peas.)

Salsa Chicken

This is a recipe that my mom used a lot on Sundays. Its hard to type out because it is done more by feel then by exact amounts.

She would get out enough boneless skinless chicken to feed the family. Place the chicken frozen or thawed in crock pot. Pour Pace Salsa over the chicken until fully covered (be generous). Cook on medium heat for 4-6 hours. Once cooked, shred chicken and use in tacos.

Laura's Alfredo Chicken

So I came across a super easy recipe for crock pot chicken alfredo. We had it for dinner tonight. It isn't Olive Garden alfredo (or even Cathy's) but for how simple it was I will certainly make it again.

2 lb. Chicken
1 package cream cheese
1 can cream of chicken
1/2 cup water
pepper to taste (I also added garlic)

Cut chicken and place at bottom of crockpot. Mix remaining ingredients and pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours. Serve over rice or noodles.

My crock pot cooks fast so it didn't take as long. It is a very nice and easy Sunday meal. Just thought I would share! :) Since I work during the week I'm always looking for crock pot recipes if anyone has any good ones (preferably inexpensive ones).
