White Bubble Up Pizza

We've been trying quite a few new recipes lately. I need to freshen things up before my boys come home for the summer. This one is easy and a really big hit! I am already dreaming of ways to make it even more delicious and can't wait to make it again. 

Give it a try...I think you'll thank me!

1 can (12oz) golden layer buttermilk biscuits the Pillsbury Grands Jr Brand
1 jar (15oz) alfredo sauce
1-2 cups mozzarella cheese depending on how cheesy you like things
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1&1/2- 2 cups cooked, chopped or shredded chicken
cooking spray

Cut biscuits into quarters.

In a large bowl, pour 3/4 of the jar of Alfredo sauce, sprinkle with garlic powder.

Add half the mozzarella cheese, and the chicken.

Gently toss all ingredients to thoroughly coat.

Pour into an 8 x 8inch baking dish, I used an iron skillet this time.

Top with remaining cheese.

Bake at 375* for 25-30 minutes or until biscuits are done and cheese is golden brown.

Serve with a little extra sauce, if desired.

BBQ Chicken Taquitos

we loved these, and the leftovers heated up nicely the next day!

3 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
3/4 cup bbq sauce, I used KC Masterpeice
1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterrey jack cheese
Corn Tortillas
Kosher salt
Ranch Dressing for dipping, if desired
Fresh cilantro for garnishing, if desired

Heat oven to 425*.

Mix chicken and bbq sauce together.

Warm tortillas in microwave so they won't crack when rolling up, 30-60 seconds.

Top each tortilla with a couple heaping tablespoons of bbq chicken.

Sprinkle chicken with shredded cheese.

Roll tortilla up tightly and place seam side down in baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray, trying to leave a little space between each one.

Once all the tortillas are in the dish, spray the tops with non-stick spray then sprinkle with kosher salt.

Bake 15 - 20 minutes or until the edges are becoming browned and crispy.

Optional...when serving, drizzle a little ranch over the top and sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro.  A little extra ranch for dipping is nice, also.

Sweet and Spicy Bacon Wrapped Chicken

The lighting on this pic is awful, I promise it gets nice, golden brown and yummy!

So I have been on a Pinterest kick lately, but my family is benefiting with some very tasty meals, this one is no different! If you have chicken breasts or tenders, bacon and a few other pantry basics, you can make this tonight!

6 chicken tenders or 2 chicken breasts cut into thirds
6 slices bacon
chili powder
garlic powder
1 cup brown sugar

Sprinkle each piece of chicken with chili powder and garlic powder using your own judgement on how spicy you want it.

Wrap each piece of chicken with one piece of bacon, tucking ends under the bottom.

Roll each chicken/bacon bundle in brown sugar, place in baking dish.

Sprinkle remaining brown sugar over tops of chicken.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is done and bacon is starting to crisp.

Spoon extra sauce over when serving.  

Can also grill these, I didn't, but will try when the cold weather decides to make it's exit.
