Easy Chicken Bake


Easy Chicken Bake
1 pkg. (6 oz.) Stove Top stuffing mix for chicken
1 1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/3 cup sour cream
1 bag (16 oz.) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed, drained

  1. Preheat oven to 400*F. Prepare stuffing mix as directed on package; set aside.
  2. Mix chicken, soup, sour cream and vegetables in a 9x13-inch baking dish; top with stuffing.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Makes 6 servings.

This is one of those great recipes where I know I already have everything I need on hand. And it takes minimal effort to prepare. I actually boiled the chicken earlier in the day so it was ready to go for dinner. I hate working with raw chicken. Enjoy!

Slow Cooker Macaroni and Cheese

Slow Cooker Macaroni and Cheese

1 lb elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
1/2 c. margarine or butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 12-oz. can evaporated milk
1 can Campbell's cheddar cheese soup
1 cup milk
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Place cooked macaroni and melted butter in 5 qt. slow cooker. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over macaroni. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. Sprinkle with paprika. Makes 10 servings.

I would recommend under cooking the pasta just a little so it doesn't get too mushy being in the crock pot. Be careful not to stir this too often so as not to break up the noodles. Also, maybe spray the sides of the crock pot with Pam before you add everything. It will make clean up easier.
