What's for dinner?

This is a very easy dish, that is quick to prepare~ We had this at some friends house awhile ago and we liked it so much we eat it once a week.

Chicken in Crescent Rolls

• Shredded Chicken
• Crescent Rolls
• 1 can of Cream of Mushroom
• 1 can of milk

Follow the dirctions on the package ~ open the crescent roll and stuff it with the shredded chicken roll it up and bake according to the directions.  We serve it with a cream of mushroom sauce.  I mix the cream of mushroom with milk and heat it up.  We also eat this dish with either rice or mashed potatoes and a vegetable.

I like to buy my chicken in bulk and then cook it in the crockpot for 6 hours and then you have lots of already cooked shredded chicken on hand for any dish you may need to cook in a hurry.

So that's it less than 5 ingredients and you have a whole meal!

What's for dinner?

Here is a really good soup recipe. After my third child (the prince) was born a friend brought this over, and I love it.

Chicken Tortilla Soup

2 cans of chicken broth

1 can Rotel

1 can corn

1 package ranch seasoning

1 package taco seasoning

Cooked shredded chicken

You can make this in the crockpot or stove top.  I usually cook up some chicken breasts in the crockpot and shred the meat and freeze it so I always have shredded chicken on hand.   You can substitute 1 can of the chicken broth with water, but I like using the chicken broth, it adds flavor.

Throw all ingedients in a pan and  heat it up, I usually use the crock pot so I can forget about it and go.

To serve add some shredded cheese and eat it with some tortilla chips.
