sweet and sour chicken

chicken noodle soup

chicken stock, chicken, carrots, onion, celery, pasta, goya sazon (of course).

i'm not a huge soupy person, so i always add lots of veggies and pasta so it's really more like a chicken pasta dish.

yummy chicken dish

chop an onion and cook it in like 1-2 Tbl. butter. cube about a pound of chicken and throw that in the onions. use about a palm each of garlic powder, allspice and rosemary. put in a can of diced tomatoes. add about 1/2 c. cream. add salt to taste.

we've always had this with rice and mixed veggies. yum.

make yourself a dang quesadilla

i love quesadillas. endless possibilities. and i love any excuse to use my forman grill. for these ones i just used chicken (can you tell i like chicken?), tomato and cheese. easy peasy.

my enchiladas

shred some chicken (i used 5 chicken thighs this time). throw in some shredded cheese and a can of diced chili. put in enough sour cream to make it a good wetness. (this time i used plain yogurt-- just because leftover yogurt gets used up faster than any leftover sour cream would. yogurt is a good flexible ingredient.)

pour a little bit of green enchilada sauce in the bottom of a casserole dish. put the chicken filling on a burrito and roll it up-- keep going until you've filled the dish. top with the rest of the enchilada sauce. sprinkle with cheese. throw it in a 350 oven for about 20 minutes.

meri's chicken casserole

we had this at a church get-together. when i saw this dish that meri brought-- i thought i'd taste it just to be nice (it didn't look good to me). but it was delish! my fave that night. and it's a hit even with my kids!

boil a can of water chestnuts, a bag of frozen broccoli, and 2 chopped up celery stalks. drain that off and add it to some nicely cooked chicken, along with one can each of cream of celery and cream of chicken. mix that all up and pour into a casserole dish. top with cheese. then top with puff pastry or unrolled crescent rolls (pictured is puff pastry). top with chopped nuts (pictured are cashews because i couldn't find any pecans in these stupid australian shops). bake at 200 degrees celsius-- i think that's about 400 fahrenheit. cook till the pastry looks nice and crispy.
