Swiss Chicken

4-5 Chicken breasts
5-6 swiss cheese slices
1 can cream of celery soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 tbls of orange juice
1 cup sour cream

Arrange chicken in a large casserole dish. Mix soups, orange juice and sour cream together. Pour over chicken, place swiss cheese across the chicken. Sprinkle across the top with seasoned bread crumbs. Bake on 350 for 1 1/2 hours. Cover if starts to brown.

I served this with rice and a veggie on the side.

Mexican Chicken Lasagna

I tried this at a pampered chef party a few weeks ago, and made it the other night. It turned out good and the kids really liked it.

1 pkg (8oz) cream cheese
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro chopped
2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese, divided
1 can (28oz) enchilada sauce
12 corn tortillas
3 cups diced or shredded cooked chicken
2/3 cup chopped onion
addition chopped cilantro (optional)

Soften cream cheese in microwave for 30-45 seconds. Add cilantro and 1 1/2 cups of jack cheese; mix well. Spread 2/3 cup of enchilada sauce over bottom of casserole dish (8x11) . Pour remaining sauce into large bowl; set aside.

Dip 4 tortillas into enchilada sauce, and arrange on bottom of dish. Scoop half of cheese mixture over tortillas, spread evenly. Top with 1 cup of chicken and 1/3 of onion. Repeat layers one time. Dip remaining 4 tortillas and arrange over second layer. Top with remaining chicken and onion. Pour remaining sauce over lasagna and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Cover and bake for about 30 min. on 350.

*I don't have the deep dish baker they say to use, so I just used an 8x11 casserole dish. And I didn't add the cilantro. I'm not a huge fan of it and knew the kids wouldn't be either.

Episode: Slow Cookin'
Creamy Macaroni and Cheese

2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni (an 8-ounce box isn't quite 2 cups)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stuck) butter, cut into pieces
2 1/2 cups (about 10 ounces) grated sharp Cheddar cheese
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Boil the macaroni in a 2 quart saucepan in plenty of water until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain. In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese. Stir until the cheese melts. In a slow cooker, combine cheese/butter mixture and add the eggs, sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper and stir well. Then add drained macaroni and stir again. Set the slow cooker on low setting and cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.

We had this Sunday night, with a salad and garlic bread. Very good.
