7 Up Biscuits

4 simple ingredients is all it takes to make scrumptious biscuits.

2 cups baking mix

1/2 cup sour cream, as usual I use "light"

1/2 cup 7 Up, yeah I know it's Sprite...same difference at my house

1/4 cup butter

Place butter in 9 X 9 inch baking pan and melt in oven while it preheats at 450*. Remove when melted.

Meanwhile cut sour cream into biscuit mix, then add 7 UP and combine well.

Dough will be very soft.

Sprinkle a little baking mix on pastry sheet, or the counter top.

Pat dough to about 1 inch thickness and cut with biscuit cutter or a small drinking glass turned upside down.

Place biscuits on top of melted butter in baking pan, return to oven and bake until golden brown. About 10-12 minutes.

I found this recipe on the Plain Chicken blog...I really like her blog and am looking forward to trying more of her recipes.

I don't use a lot of baking mix, so I was excited when I found this 
Heart Smart Bisquick mix at the store. 
And it's really good!

Chicken and Stuffing

4 or 5 pieces of chicken, cooked and de-boned, white/dark or a combo of both

1 box chicken flavored stuffing mix (plus butter and water to prepare it)

1 can cream of chicken, reduced fat and sodium

Chop chicken into bite size pieces and place in bottom of a casserole dish.

Cook stuffing according to package direction, then pour on top of the chicken pieces.

Dilute the cream of chicken soup with water or chicken broth from the cooked chicken, about 3/4 of the can full.
You don't want it to be runny, more like gravy.

Pour over the top of the stuffing and chicken.

Place lid on top and bake for 30 minutes in a 350* oven.

Serve it up!
