Chicken Tetrazzini Recipe

This Chicken Tetrazzini Recipe takes quite a bit of time to put it together. There’s nothing hard about the recipe, but to connect it all together does take some work. I was kind of pinched for time again but if figured if I cooked the chicken before I left the house it could be cooling well I did what I had to do in town. Things still got a little out of hand and I had supper on the table a little later than I planned.

The flavors in this recipe blend really well. If you don’t like using alcohol in your recipes; I think if you increased the chicken broth by 1/4 cup that would work in place of the Sherry. I prepared the recipe as written and if I make this recipe again I would change very little. It was excellent.

If you’ve never made Chicken Tetrazzini before give this recipe a try it’s excellent. Enjoy

Ingredients

4 large bone in chicken breasts

1 medium onion (chopped)

2 whole cloves

1/ 2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Creamy Potatoes with Ham Recipe

I was looking for a one dish meal I could put together quickly because I didn’t have a lot of time to do the prep work. This Creamy Potatoes with Ham Recipe is really good with almost no prep time, but you do have to allow a good hour for it to bake because the hash browns are cooked from frozen.  The original recipes calls for cubed ham, but the local store was running chopped ham on sale so I decided to give it a try-which I think worked out better because the ham blended throughout the hash browns.

If your busy and have something that has to be done while you cooking, give this Creamy Potatoes with Ham Recipe a try. You and family will love it. Enjoy

Ingredients

1 package frozen hash browns (16 ounces)

1 medium onion (finely chopped)

8 ounces cooked ham (cubed or chopped)

1 package sour cream (8 ounces)

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

2 Tablespoons margarine (melted)

Cheesy Noodle Casserole Recipe

This Cheesy Noodle Casserole Recipe makes a good side dish or a good main dish. This is kind of a small recipe so you may want to double it depending on the number you are serving. One of the things that caught my eye about this recipe is that it called for chopped salami and I thought that sounded quite good, so I put it on the supper menu for last night. This is a simple recipe and mildly seasoned. The salami helps season the dish. You could probably use almost any kind of processed meat like, pepperoni, bologna or hotdogs. Any of these favors I think would blend well with the recipe. If you’re looking for a good side dish, or just want to try something a like different; give this one a try and enjoy.

Ingredients

4 ounces of egg noodles (about 3 cups)

1 medium onion (finely chopped)

1/4 cup chopped green pepper

2 table spoons butter or margarine

1 tablespoon butter (melted)

1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (10 1/2 ounces)

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup milk

1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (6 ounces )

1- 8 ounce package of salami (cubed)

3/4 cup soft bread crumbs (1 slice bread-use a blender to make these-works very well)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F.

1. Cook noodle to al dente according to package instructions.

2. In a large skillet or sauce pan using the 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, cook the green pepper and onion till tender.

Salsa Chicken and Rice Casserole

 

I decided it was time again for a one dish meal, and this Salsa Chicken with Rice Casserole Recipe looked pretty good, so I decided to give it a try. This is a simple recipe, but there is quite a bit of prep time because of having to precook the chicken and rice. The original recipe called for boneless skinless chicken breasts but I decided to use boneless skinless chicken thighs instead, because they are a lot moister; they worked real well. I am sure if you prefer white meat that would be fine also. This Salsa Chicken With Rice Casserole Recipe is a delicious combination of flavors that you and your Family will love. The next time you are looking for a one meal dish recipe, give it a try.
