Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com"
My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing!

We've been eating this since the late 90's.

Oh man! That sounds like we're really old!

This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really

gourmet-ish, and is so easy!

Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal!

He had his 43rd birthday yesterday!

To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has.

Yes, doctors!

Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . . .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes.

What a treat it is to get older.

But with getting older comes this meal!

Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party!

Creamy Poblano Chicken with Corn Waffles

3 TBSP butter

1 large sweet onion, chopped

2 poblano peppers, seeded and chopped

3 cloves of garlic, minced

8 boneless and skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

1 can cream of chicken/mushroom soup

1 8oz container sour cream

1 8oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Cornbread Waffles

1 1/2 cups cornmeal

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

2 tablespoons sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1 1/2 cups milk

1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

1 1/2 cups frozen white shoepeg corn, thawed

For the Creamy Poblano Chicken:

Melt the butter in a Dutch oven.

Add onion, chile pepper, and garlic; sauté 5 minutes.

Add chicken, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring often, 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is done.

Stir in soup and sour cream until smooth. Add cheese, and cook 7 to 8 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Serve over Cornbread Waffles.

To make the waffles:

Stir together first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Stir together egg and next 3 ingredients; add to cornmeal mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.

Bake in a preheated, oiled waffle iron just until crisp.

(If you are in a hurry and you don't have time to make the waffle mix, purchase a cornbread mix and make according to directions, adding in the corn. You may need to do 2 mixes -- but either way, it does save you some time!).

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK. Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity. It is a wonderful experience! And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant. It's delish! So back to the casserole. After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe! The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret! It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr. Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure! When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy! Especial
