Meals for March

2009-02-20T15:16:00.000-08:00

Here are the meals for March so far. Please feel free to edit this post and add what you suggest for side dishes or a description so people know what to plan for their side dishes.

Swiss Chicken (Shelley): Chicken breasts with swiss cheese and other toppings. I would suggest serving with veggies.

8 boneless chicken breasts
8 slices swiss cheese
1 10oz can cream of chicken soup
1 cup crushed herb-flavored stuffing mix (Stove top)
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
Arrange chicken breasts in baking dish. Top each with a slice of cheese. Spoon soup over chicken and sprinkle with crumbs, then drizzle with melted butter. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 50 min.

Chicken pot pie (Abbey): Typical chicken pot pie with veggies and a pie crust

Chicken and rice casserole (Gretchen)

This is a Paula Deen recipe so I am hoping that it is a good one. Here is the link for the recipe and cooking instructions (http://www.pauladeen.com/recipe_view/796). Considering it is fairly hearty (contains rice, chicken, green beans), I would probably just have a vegetable side and fruit salad with it.

Seasoned pulled pork and tortillas (Abbey): You will get tortillas and the recipe suggests pico de gallo sauce and lime wedges OR I think it would make great fajitas-peppers, onions, rice, etc.

Enchilada Casserole (Shelley): Beef, enchilada, corn, tortillas, and cheese. It would be good with sour cream. Can serve with lettuce and tomatoes, but definitely doesn't need it. Can also be served with chips and salsa.

1 package 10 inch torilla shells
1 14oz can enchilada sauce
1 lb hamburger
3 cups shredded cheese
1 package frozen corn
Brown hamburger. Add enchilada sauce to hamburger. Turn to low and let simmer. Add frozen corn and simmer until corn is thawed and cooked. Layer in the follwing order in 9x13 dish.
Cover bottom of dish w/ 2 tortillas
Add layer of hamburger/corn mixture
Add layer of cheese
Cover with 2 more tortillas
Add layer or hamburger mixture
Add layer of cheese
Add 2 tortillas
Top with remaining cheese
Bake at 400 degrees until cheese is melted on top and tortillas are crispy (about 20 minutes).

Recipes from Dec and Jan

2009-02-16T12:25:00.000-08:00

Lasagna style baked ziti-
http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1123648
(this recipe says it yields 4 servings, but it made WAY more when I multiplied it by 6 for our group. I would assume it makes at least 6 servings, if not more.)

Broccoli Cheese Soup-
¾ cup butter 3 ½ tsp. pepper
¾ cup flour 10 cups fresh broccoli florets (I used frozen)
10 cups chicken stock 1 ½ lbs. Velveeta, cubed
9 cups milk (I used skim) 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3 tsp. salt 1/3 cup cornstarch

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat then mix in the flour. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with 1 cup broth and set aside. Mix in the chicken stock, milk, salt, pepper, and cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer about 10 minutes.

Bring pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place broccoli in the boiling water and cook 2 minutes or until just tender. Remover from heat, drain, and set aside. (Since mine was frozen I cooked in the microwave following the directions on the back of the package. I also chopped the broccoli after it was cooked so it was in smaller pieces.)

Gradually mix the cheeses into the large pot until melted. Mix in the broccoli. Continue cooking about 5 minutes.

Asian Lettuce Wraps-

Chicken Chili Casserole (I doubt you will want this as I thought it was very mediocre.)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
3 oz cream cheese
3 cups cooked chicken, chopped
3 cups cooked rice
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 oz diced green chilies (halve if you would like it mild)

1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1 cup crushed tortilla chips

Combine sour cream, ricotta and cream cheese. Then add remaining ingredients except chips, mixing well. Pour into 9x13 freezable caserole dish (foil is ideal). Freeze
On serving day, thaw in refrigerator, then bake in 350 oven for 30-45 minutes (depending on how thoroughly it is thawed. Top with tortilla chips and serve!
