Chicken Quesadilla

This is such a fast easy thing when you are in a hurry.  Just spray your skillet place a tortilla shell in the pan.  Top with grated cheese, salsa, chicken and more cheese.  Brown and flip.  Then just cut it up with the pizza cutter like a pizza.  A dab of sour cream is also great on on them.                        Thanks for Buzzing by,

Stir Fry With Chicken

Stir Fry With Chicken

Heat pan and generously add olive oil, when oil is hot add your vegetables.
I add green beans from the garden.  If greens beans aren't in season I use frozen green beans.
We love our broccoli, so in goes the broccoli cut up in small pieces.
Also I added carrots from our garden.
1/3 diced onion.
I cooked this on low to medium heat.  Adding a dab of oil when needed.
Salt and Pepper to taste.
We LOVE Ginger at our house so in goes 1 Tablespoon of Ginger.
I cooked my chicken earlier in the slow cooker.  I shredded and added the chicken breast.
I added 1 can of mushrooms.
Stir often so it doesn't burn.
Enjoy!!

MMMMMMMYum!!  What I really love about stir fry is you can add your families favorite vegetables and leave out any that you might not care for.  As much or as little as you like.  You can see how much of what vegetables I used in the picture before I added the Chicken.  You can serve this over rice, but we like the vegetables so much that we just ate it without rice.  Also sometimes we add soy sauce.  Lots of variation for this meal.
*Tip
You can buy fresh Ginger and grate as much as you want and then freeze it and just grate off what you need and pop it right back in the freezer.  It can be used this way for a very long time.  I have never had to throw any away.  Or, you can always use the Ginger in the spice bottle.

Baked Chicken and Potatoes Italiano

This recipe is for baking in the oven.  Today I decided to do it in the crock pot because it is hot here.  If this were done in the oven the potatoes would have had more flavor and a better color, however I am sure I will do this again in the crock pot because it is easy, handy, and doesn't heat up the kitchen.  Next time I will just stir it.  This is delicious and the chicken is very moist and juicy.  The whole family liked it.

Chicken ~ mine was a bag of Tyson boneless skinless breasts, frozen.  I had the chicken almost completely cooked before adding anything else.

6 Russet potatoes, peeled and quartered lengthwise ~ mine had skins on and I ran them through the Tator Twister.

2 onions ~ I used 1 softball onion cut in rings, again for the picky eaters to pick out.

 2 Tbsp. Olive oil, divided ~ I just drizzled it on the chicken for the rosemary to stick, I also added about 1/4 cup of water just to get things moving along.

2 tsp. rosemary

Coarse salt

Fresh ground pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Place potatoes and onion pieces on a sheet pan. Drizzle Olive oil over the chicken and place on pan between the potatoes and onions.  Sprinkle the rosemary on chicken.  Sprinkle the salt and pepper over all.

Bake for 30 minutes.  Turn the potatoes, onions and continue baking until the chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender 15~25 minutes more.

Serve immediately.

1 softball onion
1 12 oz. can Pepsi
1 cup BBQ sauce

Put frozen chicken in crock pot add onions on top and add Pepsi and BBQ sauce.
Cook on low 6 hours.
Turn chicken once to coat for better flavor and color.

Super Moist Chicken

This can be made any size you need.  I used a family pack of thawed boneless skinless chicken breasts.  Coat the bottom of pan with olive oil to keep chicken from sticking.  Put chicken in pan and cover with ranch salad dressing, I used Kraft.  I spread it all over to cover it so it wouldn't have any dry spots.  I used about 1/2 cup.  Bake uncovered at 350 for 45 minutes and sprinkle lightly with bread crumbs, I used Italian and I used about 1/8 cup.  Just enough for some flavor and color.  Cook for 15 minutes more and top with cheese.  Melt cheese and enjoy this super moist chicken with someone you love.

Turkey or Chicken Casserole

Prepare 1 box of turkey or chicken Stove Top Stuffing mix.
Mix together:
1/2 container of sour cream (16 oz.)
1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz.)
1 can of chicken (12.5 oz.)
Place 1/2 of the stuffing on the bottom of a casserole dish.
Smooth mixture of cream, soup, & chicken over stuffing.
Top with remaining stuffing.
Bake at 375 for 40 minutes or until very hot in the center.
Before my family started getting married I doubled this, it is very easy to make different size casseroles and you can use turkey when you have left over turkey.  This is a family favorite.
