INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 cups milk
• 6 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 
  

DIRECTIONS

1. Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps. Stir in Parmesan and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken rapidly, thin with milk if cooked too long. Toss with hot pasta to serve.

Smothered BBQ Chicken

• 4-5 Chicken Breast Halves
• 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce
• 6 Slices cooked Bacon, cut in half
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
• 1/2 cup tomatoes, chives, or olives (optional)

Grill the chicken breasts until tender but not pink, (I use my Forman) about 6 minutes on each side on medium heat. Prepare bacon and set aside. Place chicken breast halves onto a cookie sheet and use a spoon to spread on BBQ Sauce on top of the chicken breast halves. Place 2 pieces of bacon on top of the breasts and use about 1/3 cup of shredded cheese to smother each one. Put in oven until cheese melts. You may add the sour cream, tomatoes, chives, or olives to you liking.

Bruschetta Chicken!

My Neice posted this recipe on her Blog- I tried it and it is Yummy! I served it over Pasta. Test your chicken because as I recall it took a little bit longer to bake then the recipe calls for.


Bruschetta Chicken

1/2 c. flour
2 eggs lightly beaten
3 chicken breasts
1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
1/4 c. dry bread crumbs
1 Tbsp melted butter
2 large tomatoes chopped
3 Tbsp minced fresh basil
2 garlic cloves minced
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Place flour and eggs in separate shallow bowls. Dip chicken in flour, then in eggs. Place in a greased 13x9 baking dish. Combine the parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and butter, sprinkle over chicken.

Loosely cover baking dish with foil. Bake at 375 for 20 min. Uncover, bake 5-10 min or until top is browned.

Meanwhile, in a bowl combine remaining ingredients. Spoon over the chicken. Return to the oven fir 3-5 min or until tomato mixture is heated through. Enjoy!

Chicken and White Bean Stew

I found this recipe on Rachael Rays website after we had it at our friends house one night. I made it last night and was reminded of how good it is...and easy!

Chicken and White Bean Stew

4 slices of bacon, finely chopped

1 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

1 pound red potatoes (or just regular baking potatoes)

1 32 ounce container of chicken stock/broth (I used this plus an extra smaller can of chicken stock)

1 whole rotisserie chicken

2 15.5 ounce cans small white beans, rinsed

5 ounces arugula (5 cups)

salt and pepper

1. In a large soup pot cook the bacon over medium heat until cooked but not crisp, about five minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about five minutes. Add the potatoes and chicken broth and simmer until the potatoes are tender about 15 minutes

2. Pull meat off the chicken; discard skin. Add the chicken and white beans to the stew after potatoes are done and cook until heated through. Just before serving, stir in the arugula and season to taste with salt and pepper. It looks like a lot of arugula but it shrinks a lot when you stir it in.

This is so good! It is probably my favorite soup! Enjoy!
