I have been cleaning out my spiral scratch pad -- all those little things that are necessary but not meant to be kept forever! I found 3 recipes that my family likes and I want to pass them along so that I can throw these papers away!
You'll be sad to see there are no pictures of these delicious dishes. But trust me! They're yummy!
Santa Fe Chicken
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves minced garlic
1 TBSP olive oil
1 lb. chopped cooked chicken
2, 15-oz cans black beans, drained
24 oz jar thick salsa
1 cup taco sauce
8 corn tortillas
1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded cojack cheese
Cook onions and garlic in oil. Add the cooked chicken, salsa and stir well. (I call this the "chicken mix") In a 9 X 9 pan, layer taco sauce, 4 corn tortillas, and 1/2 of the chicken mix. Dollop with some sour cream and 1/2 the cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees until hot.
If freezing, defrost first before baking.
Chicken Bundles
8 oz cream cheese, room temp.
4 TBSP butter, divided
2 TBSP minced onion
2 TBSP milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 cups cubed chicken, cooked
2 cans crescent rolls
Blend cream cheese, 2 TBSP butter, onion, milk, S&P and chicken together. Unroll crescent rolls, seperating into triangles. Fill each triangle with about 1/3 a cup of chicken mixture and bundle up. Brush tops of rolls with remaining butter.
Bake at 350 degrees 20-25 minutes or freeze. Once ready to use pop into the 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Italian Chicken Rolls
8 chicken breasts
8 pieces of ham
8 slices provolone cheese
2/3 cups seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup milk
Flatten chicken. Place 1 ham and 1 cheese slice on chicken and roll up. tuck ends and secure with a tooth pick.
In a shallow small bowl add crumbs, cheese and parsley. Place the milk in a seperate shallow, small bowl. Dip the chicken in the milk then roll in the crumbs.
Wrap in plastic wrap. Freeze. Thaw in refrigerator, remove plastic wrap, spritz with cooking spray and bake uncovered at 425 degrees for 30 minutes.
If you want to use immediately, skip the plastic wrap step. Simply spritz with cooking spray and bake.
Serve with pasta and a red sauce.
