Poppyseed Chicken

2c crushed ritz crackers
1T poppyseed
1/2c melted butter
1 whole, cooked deboned chicken (I usually use a quart of bottled I think)
1 can cream chicken soup
1 16oz sour cream

Mix crackers, poppyseed and butter together. Press into baking dish; reserve 1/2 cup crust. Mix remaining ingredients; pour over crust. Sprinkle remaining crumbs on top. Bake 1 hr at 350, let set 10 minutes

*I haven't ever put poppyseed in because it's not something I have and don't ever remember to buy. It still great w/out. All the other ingredients are staples in my house so I love this because its really quick to make and really good. We eat it over rice.

Easy.. Flatten biscuits on pan, add bbq sauce, chicken and cheese and bake. Yummy pizzas :)

Shortcut Chicken Manicotti

this is from the Kraft magazine.

Prep Time:10 min
Total Time:1 hr
Makes:4 servings, three stuffed manicotti each
1 can (10-3/4 oz.) condensed cream of chicken soup
1-1/2 cups water
1/4 lb. (4 oz.) VELVEETA Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product, cut up
2 cups frozen broccoli florets
12 manicotti pasta, uncooked
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1/4 cup KRAFT 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese
PREHEAT oven to 400ºF. Mix soup, water and VELVEETA in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 3 min. or until VELVEETA is melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 2 min. Pour one-third of the soup mixture onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish; set aside. Add broccoli to remaining soup mixture.
STUFF pasta with chicken strips; place in baking dish. Cover completely with remaining soup mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil.
BAKE 45 to 50 min. or until pasta is tender and chicken is cooked through.

**When I do this again I will double the sauce, I didn't think it was enough to cover it and it would be better with more. Also Glen doesn't like broccoli and suggested that zuchini & squash would be better? (but he doesn't always know best :)

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

4 cups cooked and diced chicken breasts
2 cans cream of chicken soup
8 oz sour cream

2 cups grated Monterey jack cheese
bread crumbs

Mix everything together except bread crumbs. Pour into freezer casserole dish. Sprinkle bread crumbs over top of casserole. Label and freeze. When thawed, bake uncovered at 350 for 40 minutes until bubbly. Serve over rice.

I make this and freeze it and pull it out whenever someone in the ward has a baby or is in need of a dinner. It is a nice dinner to take to a family.
