Chicken Broccoli Casserole

Ingredients:
4 cups of steamed broccoli
3 chicken breasts boiled
1 can Cream of Chicken
3-6 tablespoons Lemon Juice (depending on how tart you want the cream sauce to be)
1 cup of Mayonnaise
1 cup Cheese
1/4 cup Corn Flake Crumbs
 To speed up cooking time, steam your broccoli and place in the bottom of your 9x13 pan.
 Chop up chicken breasts and place on top of broccoli.
 To make your cream sauce: mix in Lemon Juice, Cream of Chicken, and Mayo. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The recipe calls for 3 tablespoons, I usually double that to make more of a tart sauce.
 Evenly spread cream sauce over broccoli and chicken.

Top with shredded cheese and corn flake crumbs. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Serve and Enjoy!

1 (Costco size) white chicken/ 4 chicken strips boiled and shredded
1 can small of cream of mushroom
1 cup corn
1 cup shredded cheese
2 cups uncooked salad noodles
2 green onion

Cook noodles and mix with other ingredients in casserole dish. Sprinkle with cheese, salt & pepper, and green onion. Cook at 350 for 30 minutes or until done.

Chicken Vegetable Alfredo

Want something that goes a long way and that is healthy and quick to make?  Have you ever had Chicken Alfredo and by the time the sauce came around to you there wasn't even enough to dish up and flavor your noodles, and all you had left were the steamed veggies your mom put on the table in hopes that you eat a few bites? Growing up in a big family I had this happen too many times to count so I decided to try something out. I made up this recipe and it was a hit! It is a family favorite and I make it at least once a month!

 I love this meal because there are many different options to change up just in case you don't have all the ingredients.  Like canned chicken or chicken breasts, as well as with the vegetables the options are endless.

Ingredients:
1 cup of vegetables per person
1 package of Angel Hair Noodles
2 cans of chicken (2 chicken breasts boiled and shredded)
1 bottle of Ragu Sauce
2 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese
Olive oil
Prep Time: 20 mins

Depending on how much time you have and what you want, you can cut up a variety of vegetables like I did-- broccoli, califlower, carrots, mushroms, and green onioin. You can also buy a pack of veggies to steam or what I have tried before use the microwaved steamed veggies.

Once the noodles are boiled (I used Angel Hair) mix in your alfredo sauce over the noodles and depending on how thick you want it add milk to thin it out and make it go a long way.

Mix in your steamed vegetables. I used carrots, broccoli and cawliflower. You can also use a the microwavable steamed veggies to save on prep time.
Season with salt and pepper and parmesan cheese as desired.
