TESTIMONIALS ... 

....Wow, my family is so happy with dinner now that I found your site! The dinner recipes are such a change from the meals I am so sick of making, and I don't have to think of new meal ideas week after week. All the meal plans we have tried have been super!   MaryBeth G.

Thanks! I subscribed about 3 weeks ago and LOVE your easy dinner recipes. My family has REALLY enjoyed the new tastes and having something a little different than my normal boring meals. I love your dinner recipes because they aren't way "out there". They include real food that real people eat! I looked at some other sites before choosing yours because of that reason.  

Thank you and keep up the great work!   Connie

DinnerPlanner.com's  Skillet Chicken Cordon Bleu

1  lb. boneless chicken breast – cut into cubes and lightly salt & peppered
1/3 lb. thick-sliced Deli Ham,  diced 
4 slices of Swiss cheese, diced
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 cup chicken broth
1 ( 8 oz.) container heavy cream
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 Tbsp. dried parsley


In a large skillet, sauté onion in olive oil and butter until soft.  Add chicken and sauté again until chicken is cooked through. (about 5-6 minutes.)  Add diced ham and garlic;  sauté for an additional minute. Sprinkle chicken and ham with oregano.  Add chicken broth and salt; bring to a light simmer and let simmer for about 2 minutes.  Stir in heavy cream, Swiss cheese, and parsley. Stir until cheese is well blended and melted through.

**This serves about 4 but can be easily doubled.  Serve over a bed of rice and with a fresh tossed salad. 

 

       







SIMPLE SHREDDED CROCKPOT CHICKEN 


3-4 lbs. chicken breasts (3-4 breasts depending on size)
1 cup chicken broth
3 cloves garlic (leave whole)
1/2 tsp. dried leaf thyme (plus a bit extra to sprinkle on chicken)

Pour chicken broth into crockpot and add garlic and thyme. Rinse chicken breasts in cold water and sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, and additional thyme. Add chicken breasts to the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. 

Remove chicken breasts from crockpot and let cool. Shred chicken when cool enough to handle. 

*3 lbs. of chicken breasts will make about 5 cups of shredded chicken to use in a variety of recipes!

SAVORY CHICKEN & BISCUITS

 


2-1/2 cups shredded chicken
2 Tbsp. butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2-1/4 cups chicken broth, divided
2 cups milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2-1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 tube refrigerated biscuits

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium sauce pan, melt butter over low heat and sauté garlic gently for about 2 minutes.  Add 2 cups chicken broth, milk, salt, and pepper to the pan.  Bring to a light boil stirring constantly.  Mix together cornstarch and remaining 1/4 cup of chicken broth in a small cup and whisk into broth mixture.  Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes or until mixture thickens. Add parmesan cheese and shredded chicken; stir through to combine and remove from heat.

Spray a 9 x 13" casserole dish with nonstick spray and carefully pour chicken mixture into casserole dish.  Place biscuits on top and sprinkle with cheddar cheese over all.  Bake for 20 minutes or until biscuits are lightly browned.
