Chicken and Broccoli

This is my favorite dinner to make! Its very easy and these are my two favorites foods on the planet!! Also this is made for the oven but if you have a big enough skillet w/a lid on the stove top to cook everything together thats what I like to do then I don't have to worry about heating up my oven.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (but I use as much as I want for just Pierson and I)

1 Package (10 oz) frozen broccoli, thawed (again if its just Piers and I, I will only add 1/2 bag)

1 can (10.75 oz.) cream of chicken soup

1/2 cup milk

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 cup grated cheese (I usually add only 1/2 cup cuz I'm not a cheese person, but then I put cheese on top once everything is on top of our rice.)

1. Place chicken breasts cut into thirds, with broccoli, into a greased baking dish.

2. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over top. Sprinkle with more cheese and/or bread crumbs, if desired.

3. Cover and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Uncover for the last 10 mins to brown. serve over rice or noodles. (I always do rice)

P.S. if you cook the chicken in advance only cook in the oven for 30 mins or until the sauce has thickened

ANYWAYS I hope you guys like it!! cuz I do!! :D ENJOY!!

Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

Woohoo! I finally found some yummy taquitos that are BAKED not fried! MMMmmm ;D

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup (3 ounces) cream cheese
• ¼ cup green salsa
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic
• 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
• 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
• 1 cup grated pepper jack cheese
• 6-inch corn or flour tortillas (as fresh as possible; the longer they sit, the more likely they are to crack)
  
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (optional)
• Kosher salt

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it lightly with cooking spray.
2. Heat cream cheese in the microwave 20–30 seconds so it’s soft and easy to stir. Add green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, and granulated garlic. Stir to combine and then add cilantro, green onions, chicken, and pepper jack cheese.
3. Wrap 3 to 4 tortillas at a time in damp paper towels and microwave 20–30 seconds so they are soft and pliable. If you find your tortillas are cracking when rolled, use damper paper towels and increase the microwave time.
4. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture on the lower third of each tortilla, keeping it about half inch from the edges, and then roll it up.
5. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet in a single layer. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray or brush with vegetable oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt on top(optional). Place pan in the oven and bake 15–20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown. Cool 5–10 minutes and then serve with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or pico de gallo. ENJOY!
