Alfredo Sauce, Kristie

8 oz. cream cheese
3/4 shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 c. margarine or butter
1/2 c. milk

I double this recipe and add more milk(I think double amount) because it can get pretty thick.

Pour ingredients in pan on medium heat until dissolved. Great with grilled chicken breasts or shrimp.

Sausage Manicotti

box Manicotti shells

1 container (15 oz.) ricotta cheese

1 lb. sausage-cooked

1 egg

1 T. Italian Seasoning

2 cups mozzarella cheese

1 jar marinara sauce

In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, 1 cup mozzarella, and sausage. Stuff into Manicotti shells. Spread about 1 cup marinara sauce over the bottom of 9 x 13 baking dish. place Manicotti in dish. Pour remaining sauce over shells; sprinkle with cheese. Cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes. Uncover, continue baking 5-10 mins

Cheesy Chicken Broccoli and Rice

lb. cubed chicken
1 c. uncooked rice
2 c. broccoli
1 jar cheese whiz
1 can cream of chicken
1 can 6 oz. French Fried Onions

Preheat oven to 350. All you do is cook up the chicken with salt and pepper with a little onion(not the fried onions) if you want. Cook the rice and broccoli, but don't cook the broccoli too long cause it will mush up when you go to mix it up. While the rice is hot mix in the cheese and cream of chicken. Once all the ingredients are mixed together; except the fried onions put it in the oven and heat for about 20 min. then add the fried onions and let them brown for maybe 3 min.

Chicken Enchiladas

4 chicken breasts

1/4 c. sour cream

1 can cream of chicken soup

4 c. shredded cheddar cheese

I think it is 16 oz. jar of Picante Sauce or salsa

(use the regular size jar)

tortillas

Preheat over to 350 degrees.

Okay, here is how I cook my chicken for those of you that wondered: On medium heat with a tbsp of oil and I sprinkle salt n' pepper and toward the end of the cooking I add minced onion so that it doesn't burn. I actually like to use the tenders instead of the breast because I have figured out how to cook them without over cooking them. I think(I never really timed it) it is about 3-4 min. per side for tenders that is. Hope this helps...keep in mind that they are going to cook more in the oven.

Dice up the cooked chicken. Mix the sour cream, cream of chicken, and picante sauce or salsa. Then mix about half of the mixture with the chicken. Spoon chicken mixture on tortilla then spinkle desired amount of cheese and roll up and repeat. When finished rolling up the chicken pour the rest of the sour cream mixture over the enchiladas and top off with the remaining cheese.(I usually have used 1 bag of cheese inside the enchiladas and 1 for the top.) Bake @ 350 for 20-30 mins

Shredded Chicken

1 1/4 lb. chicken(I used 4 frozen chicken breast)

1 pkg. taco seasoning

1 reg. size jar of salsa



Cook all ingredients together on low 6-8 hours. I have also cooked it on high for 4-5 hours and it works just as well. Shred & enjoy in tacos or on sandwiches!
