This is a go-to meal in the kitchen of Erin B.!
She says, "SUPER EASY!!!! For variety, I had two kinds of chips. I covered some chicken in Sour Cream chips, and then covered the other chicken with BBQ chips."
Can I just say that I am so excited to try this because I think Axl would actually eat it!! I'll let you know how it goes--I'm going to try with Fat-free mayo and perhaps baked chips.
One chicken breast per person--sliced in half to make a chicken tender
mayo/miracle whip
chips (I used walmart brand sour cream and also BBQ)
Preheat oven to 400.
Coat chicken in mayo. A thin coat is fine...you just need enough for the chips to stick to.
Crush up several handfuls of one flavor of chips. Coat the chicken with the chips.
Place on cookie sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes.

White Chicken Chili
I've been wanting to try this recipe from my mom for a long time now, and the fall weather finally got me in the mood! We loved it and it'll definitely be in the rotation from now on!!
1 large jar of great northern beans (I had never seen a jar of beans before, but sure enough, they do exist. This jar, I believe, was a whopping 48 ounces! I found it at Kroger and the brand was "Randall's".
1 large box of chicken broth (mine was 4 cups)
2 packages chili-o (I'm totally blanking out right now and am not sure if I actually used 2 packets versus 1...I'll have to do some experimenting and come back and fix this.)
1 can rotel
1 lb chicken
Boil the chicken in the chicken broth. Remove the chicken and shred. Mix in all other ingredients and bring to a boil. Add chicken and simmer for a while.

Mexican Chicken
This is a go-to meal in MY (and originally my mother's) kitchen!
2 frozen boneless chicken breasts (it's ok if they are thawed or fresh)
1 package taco seasoning
2 cans black beans (drained)
2 cans mexicorn (it's a smaller can, drained)
1 jar chunky salsa (I like to use Medium)
Chopped cilantro to taste (we often omit this because we don't have it on hand)
Spray crockpot or use liner (LOVE THESE).
Put corn in bottom of crockpot.
Layer chicken on top of corn.
Sprinkle taco seasoning on chicken.
Pour salsa over seasoning.
Pour drained beans on top.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break up chicken; shreds VERY easily.
Serve over rice.

Spin on Chicken Cordon Bleu
This is a go-to meal in the kitchen of Erin C.!
a few tips: for the sake of price, replace proscuitto with just plain ham, and laughing cow cheese can be pricey unless you buy it at Sam's Club, then it's a good deal!
2 T butter, divided
1 lb. cooked chicken breast, shredded or cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 C shredded swiss cheese, divided
freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1 t garlic salt
1 C half and half (I used Fat-free half and half and it was delicious!)
4 ounces proscuitto, either diced or sliced into thin strips
8 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss Original Flavor (this is one full wheel of Laughing Cow cheese; I used light because we get these at Costco in a multipack, but you could use the full fat version if you want. There's very little difference between the two).
8 ounces (1/2 box) penne pasta (I used Barilla Plus Penne, but any small pasta should be fine: shells, rotini, elbows, etc.)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. Boil pasta in salted water until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook the prosciutto and 1 T of butter until the prosciutto is heated through and crispy at the edges. Add the laughing cow cheese, 1/4 C of the shredded Swiss cheese, half and half, garlic salt, and pepper. When cheese is melted and smooth, add cooked chicken and pasta and stir to combine. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 C of shredded swiss cheese over the casserole evenly.
Melt the remaining T of butter in a small bowl in the microwave. Add the panko bread cumbs and stir to combine. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the casserole is heated through, the cheese on top is melted, and the buttered bread crumbs have crisped. Serve immediately.
(I believe it is a 9X13, maybe an 8X8)

Barbecue Chicken Pizza
This is a go-to meal in the kitchen of Karen C.!
I just buy a store-bought canned pizza crust...bake it about 5 minutes.
Top with:
Light amount of your favorite BBQ sauce
sliced red onions (which I saute first)
1 cup Mozzarella cheese
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cut up
Bake until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. Doesn't take long, maybe five or ten minutes?
Serve with salad :)
