Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

July 26, 2021 Amanda Plott

Today my daughter is at her first cheer camp to learn all she needs to for cheerleading at her middle school this year. What does that mean? Back-to-School is hot my heels and it’s time to roll out those easy to do one pot dinners. This Chicken Pot Pie Casserole is just that. It gives you all you expect out of a chicken pot pie, but without having for fuss and worry with pie dough!

This casserole starts off with a pretty standard roux that you then add veggies and chicken to. It’s all topped off with some biscuit dough and baked together to make one delicious dinner that’s put together and done in no time at all…

Looking for a quick dinner idea? Look no further! This Queso Chicken Bake is here just for you! And when I say queso, I do mean queso! Just look at his cheesy an delicious this chicken is! I should note too, it doesn’t get more simple to easy than this toss and bake recipe either. with just 5 ingredients, you can have dinner tossed together and ready to go in no time at all!

Being as this dish is so simple and has so few ingredients, there isn’t much to change here other than to swap some of the things out for ‘no salt added’ or ‘low sodium’ options. This way you can season it yourself to your own liking. Which I almost guarantee is less salt overall…

Tex-Mex Chicken Cakes (Air-Fryer)

June 18, 2021 Amanda Plott

I don’t make it a big secret that I am no fan of seafood. I am not now and have never been. It’s not got anything to do with an allergy or taste or texture. It is simply that I don’t want seafood in my mouth. It’s one of my many strange little quirks. That generally means that for most of my life, I’ve made seafood free alternatives, and these Tex-Mex Chicken Cakes are one of those!

Crab cakes or fish cakes have always intrigued me, but again… being as I’m not a fan of seafood I thought I’d try my hand at making a chicken version. These Tex-Mex Chicken Cakes are super simple to make and you get a lot of bang for your buck with a whopping 14 cakes made with one go of it…

Lemon Poppy Seed Chicken Salad

April 12, 2021 Amanda Plott

It’s Spring and for me that means it’s time to play around with all things lemon and poppy seed. This Lemon Poppy Seed Chicken Salad is a fun twist on a classic chicken salad. That’s chicken salad, not chicken in a salad. Most of the time when you think of lemon and poppy seed, you think of sweet treats. But, not today!

This chicken salad is savory through and through. The bright pop of lemon and the bit of crunch from the poppy seeds really makes this a chicken salad to remember. It’s perfect all on its own or used on a sandwich or as part of a Spring inspired green leaf salad. Though I would absolutely stuff this chicken salad into a tomato too!…

Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins

I don’t know. I felt like I wanted some buffalo chicken potato skins.

Easy to make shredded buffalo chicken that’s stuffed into potato skins and topped off with cheddar and blue cheese. Can’t go wrong there. This is a super simple and versatile dish that could be anything from an appetizer to part of a meal. I should say too that I used the BIGGEST russet potatoes for this that I could find. We’re talking HUGE. So if you are using smaller potatoes, this will give you a lot more skins than what it did me…

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

What I ended up getting for Easter was an upset stomach. Boo! Oh, well. As soon as it started to settle, I went straight into chicken noodle soup mode. This Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup is exactly what my body needed too. The broth is light and there’s just enough good wholesome chunky bits in there to fill a sore stomach.

For being a homemade soup, this one is super simple to make and it all comes together in one pot for easy clean up. Plus, most of the ingredients here are staple pantry and fridge items that you likely already have on hand!…
