French's Onion Chicken... twisted :)

Tonight I did a twist on my French's Onion Chicken - I have to say, the original recipe {found on the back of the French's Onion can :) } is good to begin with. But this twist, is to die for - my husband says it's the best chicken ever. It's sort of a Chicken Cordon Bleu twist as well. I hope you enjoy!

My original recipe can be found here. So it's essentially the same with a few minor changes :)

Before you begin, pound out your boneless skinless chicken breasts till they are about a 1/4 of an inch thick. Layer one slice of your favorite white cheese {we've used provolone, swiss, monteray jack, or even just a white cheddar - they are all good} and then one slice of deli ham lunch meat. Roll chicken breast around the cheese and ham then secure with toothpicks.

Then you just follow the recipe as in the original post.

I served this tonight with a glass of Chardonnay {but that's pretty much my "go to" these days}. I think any white wine would do just fine :)

Enjoy!

Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie Soup

On those cold and blustery winter days, sometimes a nice pot pie sounds good but it is just too time consuming.  But I have good news, I have found this recipe and it is soooo good.  It will warm you to the core on a cold day.  Tastes just like a nice, hot pot pie and could have less calories since there isn't any crust.

You will need:

4 cups cubed cooked chicken breast meat
2 bags frozen mixed vegetables
2 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of potato soup
2 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
4 cups skim milk

Combine all ingredients except the milk.  Place in the crock pot and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hrs.  During the last hour add the milk.

Serve with crumbled crackers on top.

Enjoy it!

Until next time,
