Robot Cake

I made this cute cake for my son's first birthday, the Betty Crocker website has a lot of cute ideas for cakes. Here is the link:http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/robot-cake/0123a837-6a6f-4c14-be95-b1e8c2b5b2a8

Buffalo Chicken Dip

My Mom gave me this recipe over a year ago and it is so yummy. This stuff goes fast at a party, so I always double the recipe, which I have below. My picture isn't the greatest, it got a little burnt on the top of the pan, but it was still yummy!

2 packages of softened cream cheese (8 ounces)
1 pound of cooked chicken shredded (cook it like I explained in the chicken rice-a-roni casserole)
1 jar of ranch dressing ( I use the kind you find in the produce section)
1 jar of Texas Pete's Buffalo Sauce
2 cups of Mozzarella Cheese

Grease a 13x9 inch pan. Spread the cream cheese over the bottom of the pan. In a bowl mix the chicken and buffalo sauce (you can use the whole jar or less depending on how hot you want the taste). Spread the chicken mixture over the cream cheese, and cover that with the ranch. Then sprinkle the cheese on top. Cook in a 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly on top. 

Zesty Chicken Pot Pie

I got this recipe from kraft.com, I changed it a little after I first made it, to tweak some things that I thought were wrong in the recipe. It is a really fast and simple pot pie recipe.

12

oz. (1-1/2 pkg. [8 oz. each])PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed

1/2

cup chicken broth

3

cups chopped cooked chicken

1

pkg. (10 oz. each) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed

2

env. GOOD SEASONS Italian Dressing Mix

2

 refrigerated ready-to-use refrigerated pie crust 

 

Preheat oven to 425°F. Place cream cheese in large saucepan. Add broth; cook on low heat until cream cheese is completely melted, stirring frequently with wire whisk. Stir in chicken, vegetables and dressing mix. Grease 9-inch pie plate. Place one of the pie crusts down. Spoon in filling. Cover with pie crust; seal and flute edge. Cut several slits in crust to allow steam to escape. Place pie plate on baking sheet.

BAKE 20 to 25 min. or until golden brown.

Quick Salsa Chicken

This is a simple really easy recipe if you are craving a dish with some Mexican flavor!


2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1/2 lb)
2 teaspoons  taco seasoning mix (from 1-oz package)
1/2 cup  salsa
1/2 shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon sour cream, if desired

Heat oven to 375°F. Sprinkle both sides of chicken breasts with taco seasoning mix; place in ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish. Pour salsa over chicken. Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear. Sprinkle cheese evenly over chicken; bake 3 to 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Serve with sour cream.

For an easy bread accompaniment, sprinkle Pillsbury® refrigerated breadsticks with taco seasoning mix and bake as directed on the package.
