Homestyle Chicken & Garlic Cheddar Biscuits
I haven’t made chicken and biscuits since I was quite a bit younger, but it sounded like a treat today! Switched it up and made garlic cheddar biscuits. I had to cook it a little differently than I normally would because the chicken was frozen, but it came out the same in the end. Chicken:Continue reading “Homestyle Chicken & Garlic Cheddar Biscuits”
Ancho Chicken Enchilada Casserole
I found some long lost tortillas in the freezer that were too stiff to make enchiladas with. So, I made chicken enchilada casserole instead!

Bacon & Spinach Stuffed Shells
This really hit the spot tonight! The addition of bacon was spot on and added a little smokiness to the filling (along with the smoked paprika). I’m going to be making these with Italian sausage next time and I’m really excited! 6 oz. Jumbo Shells (about 20 shells) 24 oz. Marinara Sauce 1 ½ cupsContinue reading “Bacon & Spinach Stuffed Shells”
Chicken Cottage Pie
I know, I know. Cottage pie is filled with beef and not chicken. But I love to switch it up from time to time. Whatever you’d like to call it, it was stinking amazing! I actually ended up liking it more than the traditional cottage or shepherd’s pie. Filling: 2 large Chicken Breasts; cubed 1Continue reading “Chicken Cottage Pie”
