Ritzy Chicken

I love chicken and rice dishes. They are not only are they delicious they’re inexpensive and filling.

This recipe calls for Ritz Crackers combined with butter to make a top crust. Ritz Crackers are one of my favorite snack foods. No seriously I mean L-O-V-E them. They are great with peanut butter, with cheese, with tuna salad, with chicken salad, or just plain out of the box.

What are your favorite snack foods that can double as ingredients in a casserole or dish?

Recipe

What you’ll need

2 Cooked Chicken Breast (this will feed about 4)

2 Cups Uncooked Rice

1 Can Cream of Chicken Soup

1 8-oz. Carton of Sour Cream

2 Sleeves of Ritz Crackers

2 Tablespoons of Butter (I went all out and used 3 tablespoons.)

2 Teaspoons Garlic (or two cloves minced)

2 Teaspoons Poppy Seeds

 Putting it all together

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a mixing bowl combine cream of chicken soup and sour cream until well blended

Melt butter and pour over crushed crackers (go slowly to get an even coat)

Add poppy seeds and garlic to buttered crackers

Line the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish with shredded chicken

Pour sour cream and soup mixture over the top

Then add the buttered cracker crumbs to make a “crust”

Pop in oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees

Prepare rice while you wait on the chicken mix to finish in the oven

When it’s done spoon the chicken mix over the rice and serve

Cowboy Goulash

Looking for a fast delicious dinner idea?  Well the search is over, it’s Cowboy Goulash. When I was younger my mother used to make this it was always one of my favorites. It has remained one of my favorite comfort foods since childhood. In college I made it for friends and sorority sisters before a big cram session for midterms and finals. It’s always a big hit, and it’s sure to be with your family.

1 lb. ground round

1 cup bell pepper (diced)

1 cup onion (diced)

1 can Whole Kernel Corn (drained and rinsed)

1 bag of broad egg noodles
Salt and Pepper to taste
