Wraps



Pre-made breaded chicken tenders, I get mine at Aldi's
Lettuce, shredded
Tomatoes, diced
Cheddar cheese, shredded
Dressing of your choice
Flour tortillas

Bake chicken tenders according to package directions.

Cut tenders lengthwise into long strips.

Lay out one flour tortilla and top with lettuce, tomato, chicken, cheddar, and your choice of dressing.






Wrap it burrito style and eat it up!

Chicken Tetrazinni

2 whole chicken breasts, boiled and shredded
1 can cream of chicken soup, I always use low fat/low sodium
1 pint sour cream, again I use the light variety
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
dash of pepper
1/2 stick butter
small package of angel hair pasta, or your favorite type of pasta

Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the angel hair pasta.

Combine soup, sour cream, Parmesan, pepper and butter in a saucepan.

Add pasta to large pot of water and cook according to package directions.

Bring soup mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.

Add chicken to soup mixture; stir to combine.

Drain pasta and place in 9 X 13 inch casserole dish.

Pour soup mixture over hot pasta and wiggle the pasta around a little to incorporate the sauce in to the pasta. Don't stir it, just slightly combine the two.

Bake uncovered at 350* for 45 minutes.

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!
