Delicious Chicken & Vegetable Casserole
Serves 4
2-3 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
3 Tbl. Butter or Margarine (or vegetable oil)
Garlic Powder
2 small cans Mixed Vegetables, or 1 large can Mixed Vegetables
1 small Can Green Beans (my Mom always said: "Blue Lake Green Beans are best", or use your favorite)
1 Can French Fried Onions
1 Lg. Can Cream of Mushroom Soup (14.75 oz), or 2 small cans
Saute Chicken Breasts, that have been sprinkled with the garlic powder, in butter. Cut into 1 inch pieces halfway through cooking, browning the bite size pieces. Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.
Drain vegetables, put into 9 x 13 casserole dish. Pour in mushroom soup, adding half a can of french fried onions, then add chicken. Mix well all ingredients. Cover top of casserole with the rest of french fried onions. Bake for 25 minutes.
Cherry Crisp with a Twist
1 can cherry pie filling
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup quick oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla flavoring (or you can use almond extract, if you prefer)
1/4 cup chopped pecans or slivered almonds, optional
Preheat oven to 350. Pour can of Cherry Pie Filling into the bottom of a shallow baking dish, like one for a quiche. Mix in vanilla flavoring into the pie filling. In a separate bowl, blend softened butter, oatmeal, brown sugar and nuts until the mixture is crumbly; sprinkle the mixture over top of the pie filling. Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve alone, with whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
Delish!
