Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta

Delicious! My husband loves chicken cordon bleu so I thought we'd try this. He loved it of course.

Recipe courtesy Amy's Kitchen

Serves 6


1 lb. Pasta (I used penne-you could use any fun shaped pasta)
1 cup Chicken Breasts, cooked and cubed
1 cup Ham, cooked and cubed
1 1/2 cups Milk
8 oz. Cream Cheese (softened)
2 Tbsp. Dried Minced Onion
2 cups Swiss Cheese, shredded
Salt
Pepper

Cayenne Pepper
1 cup Panko Crumbs
1/2 cup Butter, melted 




Bring a large pot of water to a boil over med-high heat. Salt it and add the pasta; cook until al dente (about 11 minutes-I used whole wheat pasta which takes a bit longer than regular pasta). Drain and return to the pot. Add in the chicken and ham and toss to combine.

Preheat the broiler. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream cheese and minced onion over low-medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until it becomes a smooth texture (about 5 minutes). Stir into the pasta mixture. Stir in the Swiss cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer pasta to a baking dish and top with Panko crumbs. Pour melted butter over crumbs and broil until browned (I gave it 4 minutes).

Mexican chicken casserole

Made this the other night because the hubby was craving Mexican.

Prep time: 20 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes

Makes 4 servings.

3/4 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 green pepper chopped
1 1/2 cups salsa
2 oz (1/4 of 8 oz. package of cream cheese) cubed
1 can (15oz.) no-salt added black beans, rinsed
1 tomato, chopped
2 whole wheat tortillas (6 inches) I used flour ones.
1/2 cup Mexican style shredded cheese, divided

Heat oven to 375.

Cook and stir chicken and cumin in nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium heat. Add peppers, stirring occasionally. Stir in salsa. Add cream cheese, cook until melted. Stir in beans and tomatoes.
Spoon 1/3 of chicken mixture into square baking dish; cover with 1 tortilla and half each of the remaining chicken mixture and shredded cheese. Top with remaining tortillas and chicken mixture; cover. Bake 20 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese; bake, uncovered 5 minutes until melted.

I omitted the peppers and tomatoes because my hubby dislikes those. I add those to my own. I pureed the salsa because of the chunks of tomato so my hubby will eat it. It still turned out good!

Homemade Dumplings

So I made chicken and dumplings the other night and decided to try and make my own dumplings instead of using canned biscuits. They came out really good! I got the recipe from cooks.com.

2 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp. baking powder if flour is not self-rising
3/4 tsp. salf
1 tbsp. butter melted
3/4 cups milk

Mix all together well. Then roll out well on floured board. Roll out real thin and then cut in small squares and drop in real hot chicken broth, one at a time. Then cover and cook for about 20 minutes over real low fire.

On a side note, I cook my chicken in 1 large can of chicken broth for 20 minutes. Removed the chicken and dropped in the dumplings. After dumplings are done, I added the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, salt and pepper. Stirred and let simmer 15 minutes. It was delicious!! Hubby even loved it.
