Good Things Come in 3's!

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.

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

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice!

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
