Chicken Tortilla Soup

I found this on the side of a can of Hormel Chicken. It was super easy, consisted of stuff I already had in my house and was YUMMY!!!

4 - 6 inch flour or wheat tortilla
3 - cups water
2 - chicken bullion cubes
1 - package of taco seasoning
1 - 16 oz jar of medium salsa
2 - 10 oz cans of chicken
1 - 15 oz can of black beans
1 - 11 oz can of corn with green and red peppers

Place tortilla strips onto baking pan. Lightly spray strips with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 400°F until crisp, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in large saucepan, combine water, bouillon, taco seasoning mix and salsa. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add chicken, black beans and corn. Heat until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Ladle into warm bowls and top with tortilla crisps and sour cream.

Jesi's Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore

Ingredients
1 pound frozen chicken breasts
1 large jar of Marinara *your favorite, we use TS Everything Italian marinara*
2 onions cut into slices
2 green bell peppers sliced
and sliced fresh mushrooms if your husband allows it (mine doesn't)

Throw it all in your crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours. Then shred the chicken. I made noodles and rice to serve it over but you can also make mashed potatoes.

This came from my friend and fellow Tastefully Simple Consultant Jesi!

Thanks!

Tastefully Simple Stuffed Chicken Breast

2 large boneless skinless chicken breast, thawed
4 oz cream cheese
1 tablespoon of seasoning of choice
1/2 c mozzarella cheese

I soften 4 oz of cream cheese by microwaving it for 15 seconds and then beating it with a fork. I add a Tastefully Simple mix Dried Tomato and Garlic Pesto to the cream cheese but really any seasoning mix of your liking would work. Then I take two thawed boneless skinless chicken breast and slice them so I can stuff them with the cream cheese. Put the stuffed chicken in a 9X13 pan and bake on 350 uncovered for 45 minutes. During the last couple of minutes in the oven add some mozzerella cheese on top just to melt. Very very easy and very good! What I really like about it is that you can add any seasoning mix to change it up! I usually make rice or potatoes with it but you could also add some veggies to the pan for a side dish!

Chicken Pockets

I don't have a "recipe" for this....it was something my neighbor, Jill told me about and I tried it!! Love it. One of those great recipes when you forget to make dinner!! Haha!!



1 package crescent rolls
1 large can chunked chicken
1 (8oz) package cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon minced onion
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread the crescent rolls out and break into 4 rectangles (2 crescent rolls each). Soften cream cheese (I use a hand blender) and add the chicken and spices (you could use any seasoning you prefer). Put the cream cheese mixture into each crescent roll and pull the crescent roll up around the sides to form a pocket. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
