Chicken Stuffing Casserole

I LOVE this casserole, super easy and delish!

Preheat oven to 350F
2 6oz. pkg chicken stuffing mix
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast (cooked/uncooked) cut/shredded into bite sized pieces
1 10oz can cream of chicken soup
1/3 cup sour cream (or sub chicken broth)
1-2 16oz pkg frozen vegetables (broccoli and corn are my favs but carrots, peas, green beans are good options too)
Optional: 1lbs bacon, cooked, chopped (we try to soak up some of the grease/fat with a paper towel)
Prepare stuffing as directed.
Mix other ingredients except bacon in greased 9x13 pan or two 8x8 pans (If I do two pans, I freeze one for reheating.)
Top with stuffing then bacon.
Bake 30 mins or until chicken is cooked.

Serves 4-6.
Great with garlic toast.

Chicken tortilla soup!

I LOVE chicken tortilla soup. But I'm usually in a hurry with a million things to do in my few short days off and still have to find quality time for my beautiful baby boy.
So, here's my quick and easy "dump" recipe :)

1 Crockpot (if you've never used a crock pot liner, you should try them. They are AMAZING!)
1 rotisserie chicken, de-boned and shredded (in a pinch you can sub in canned chicken)
1 10oz can enchilada sauce
1 can rinsed, drained black beans
1 16oz bag frozen corn (can sub canned corn)
2 4oz cans diced green chillies
1 14oz can chicken broth
14oz water
2-3 cloves garlic
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 tbsp chopped cilantro

*1 can whole, peeled tomatoes - diced
*1 medium onion - diced
*1 small jalapeno pepper - seeds removed and diced
Can sub 1 small jar of salsa for these items



DUMP it all in your crockpot and cook on High 4 hrs or Low 6-10 hrs

Top with tortilla chips, cheese, sour cream and enjoy!
