Answer 9

Real simple but delicious!

Take boneless skinless chicken breast and cut them in long strips (3 or 4 per breast depending on size) then you get deli ham and you wrap the chicken in ham, next you place them in a baking dish.  For the sauce you mix equal parts of cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, creme cheese.  So if you are making just for two one can of soup one block of creme cheese and one small carton of sour cream. Blend the three items together and pour over the ham wrapped chicken.  Then bake in the oven covered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and then uncover and cook another 15 minutes.  Serve with butter noodles or mashed potatoes and you use the sauce as a gravy!

It is real good!  Try it with your favorite vegetable and some bread and a country boy will be happy!

Answer 11

well, i really like enchiladas they are not fancy and they are easy to make.

Ingredients

5  Boneless, skinless chicken b*****s

1  Large can of green chili sauce

1/2 lb  Reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese, shredded*

1 (8 oz) pkg  Reduced-fat Cream Cheese*

1 package  (10 - 12) tortillas

1  Small can green chilis (mild)

Preparation

1. Take chicken frozen or thawed and boil in water until done. Drain chicken and dice into small pieces. Toss back in pan and add 1/3 of green chili sauce, cream cheese, a handful of shredded cheese, and green chilis. Stir until warm and bubbly.

2. Place a few spoonfuls of mixture in middle of tortillas and roll them up. Place in lightly spayed baking dish (10x13) .

3. Once baking dish is full, spread remaining green chili sauce over the top, sprinkle with cheese. Add olives, if desired.

4. Bake, covered, at 350 for 30 min, uncovered for 10 min. If prepped ahead of time and kept in refrigerator bake for 45 min, covered, and 15 min uncovered.

Cook's Notes

*Original recipe calls for 16 oz of both cheeses, but cutting it by half and substituting reduced-fat cheese drastically cuts down the fat and calories

or try this filling recipe for macaroni cheese:

Ingredients

250g/9oz macaroni

40g/1½oz butter

40g/1½ plain flour

600ml/1pint 1½fl oz milk

250g/9oz grated cheddar

50g/2oz grated Parmesan

Method

1. Cook the macaroni in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 8-10 minutes; drain well and set aside.

2. Melt the butter over a medium heat in a saucepan slightly larger than that used for the macaroni. Add the flour and stir to form a roux, cooking for a few minutes.

3. Gradually whisk in the milk, a little at a time. Cook for 10-15 minutes to a thickened and smooth sauce.

4. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to hot.

5. Remove the sauce from the hob, add 175g/6oz of the cheese and stir until the cheese is well combined and melted.

6. Add the macaroni to the sauce and mix well. Transfer to a deep suitably-sized ovenproof dish.

7. Sprinkle over the remaining cheddar and the Parmesan and place the dish under the hot grill. Cook until the cheese is browned and bubbling. Serve straightaway.
