BBQ Chicken

This is a recipe I figured out recently--it was a fluke. It's super easy and real tasty!

Cook chicken breasts in crockpot, covered with your favorite BBQ sauce til tender.
Just before serving, set the chicken on your outdoor BBQ grill. BBQ both sides for a about 5 min. Put more BBQ sauce on while they're cooking.

Chicken Won Ton Salad

This is one of my favorite stand alone or serve a main course salad.
It's basically done in 3 parts.

1 pkg. won ton noodles, cut in 1 in. lengths & fried. These will be chips to add to the top of your salad. Caution: they cook very fast. You don't want them brown.

Salad
4 chicken breasts cooked, moist & delicious if done in the crock pot with little poultry seasoning.
slivered almonds sauteed in bouillon cube or chicken flavoring
lettuce
red onion
1 can mandarin oranges

Dressing:
1 1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. sugar
2 t. accent
2 t. pepper
1 c. light oil
3/4 c. rice vinegar

Chicken Green Chilie Salad

This is my best attempt at Bajio's Chicken Green Chilie Salad, which I love, but I get ticked off every time I go there and they raise the price another buck. I'm so cheap. So I had an idea to try and see if I could duplicate the flavor and wa la, I think I've got it.

Saute:
1/2 to 1 full diced onion (depends how much you like onions--I love em in meals)
1/2 cube butter
1 can diced green chilies

Add about 1/2 c. brown sugar--you want the mixture to look light brown

Add 2 large cooked chicken breasts cut up or shredded.

You can serve this:
-as a salad with tortilla chips
-on tortillas
-with refried or black beans
-with spanish rice
-topped with sour cream, guacamole, cheese, and salsa.
-the possibilities are endless.

Are you salivating yet?

Chicken Ole

Chicken -- fresh or bottled
1 can Black Beans (optional)
1 can Tomato Sauce
1 can Corn
1 can Chopped Green Chilies or substitute with a 1/2 c. Salsa
1 1/2 t. Chili Powder
1 t. Onion Powder
Tortilla Chips or Cooked Rice

Cook Chicken in skillet. Add other indredients. Serve over chips or rice.

Garnish with Cheese and Sour cream.

I made this tonight. My kids all gave it a thumbs up--Wahoo!
I added the black beans, the recipe didn't call for them. I used Salsa instead of Green Chilies. It had a good flavor and I was thinking that you could probably try it without the chicken for a bean and rice type of recipe. Easy Smeasy Recipe

Chicken Noodle Soup

Homemade Noodles:

1 beaten egg
2 TBSP mild
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup flour

Combine egg, salt, and milk. Add enough flour to make a stiff dough. Roll very thin on floured surface. Let stand 20 minutes. Then cut 1/8 in. thick. Let dry for 2 hours. Boil for 10 minutes.

Soup:
1 large onion
3 stalks celery
3 carrots
3 chicken breasts
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 tsp salt
2 cups water
1/2 tsp basil

In above order put in pot. Bring to a boil turn down and simmer for 30 min to 1 hour (until veggies are soft)

When I made this, I added more water at the end that was flavored with chicken stalk. It was really yummy with a lot of flavor.

Crockpot Chicken

1 packet dry Italian seasoning
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 8 oz. pkg cream cheese
1/2 can milk
chicken breasts (as many as you need)

Put chicken breasts in crockpot and sprinkle seasoning over top. Let it cook for a few hours. Combine all the other ingredients in a saucepan and stir until creamy. Pour over chicken and cook a little longer. Serve over rice.

Chicken Soft Tacos

I love crockpot recipes and here is one even my kids like.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 16oz jar salsa
1 c. sour cream
flour tortillas

Spray crockpot with non-stick cooking spray. Put in chicken with salsa on top. Cook on high 6-8 hours or low 10-12 hours. Mix in sour cream the last hour. Shred chicken. Fold into warm tortillas with lettuce and grated cheese.

Chicken & Alfredo

This was a really yummy way to add a lot of flavor to a simple meal. However, you do have to plan ahead.

In a crock pot cook chicken breasts. I cooked 3 large chicken breasts, and we still had leftovers. (6 people) As soon as you put the chicken in the crock pot,
Put about 1/2 c. water in with the chicken. Make sure there's a little water for the entire cooking process, so that it doesn't burn. Especially if your cooking your frozen chicken on high. (Like I usually do)
Season with whatever Italian seasonings are in your cupboard. I use Italian Seasoning Blend, Garlic & Herb, & Minced Onion.
Let cook for 3-4 hours. When the chicken pulls apart easily it's done.

Boil Alfredo noodles or Spaghetti noodles til cooked thoroughly. Nothing like not entirely cooked pasta.

1 or 2 Alfredo Seasoning Packets: Cook up according to directions. All you need to add is milk and then stir and boil.

Mix altogether and wala.

Chicken & Rice

This one was from Skip...

Steam rice and veggies in rice cooker. Add chicken bouilon to rice for flavor.
In frying pan warm 1 bottle canned chicken
Season with Worcestershire Sauce, Soy Sauce, and All Seasoning.
