Stovetop - 30 minutes. Serves 6
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless chicken breast, 1/2" cubes
1 medium onion, chopped
1.5 tsp garlic powder
1 T oil
2 cans Great Northern Beans (15.5 oz each), rinsed/drained
1 can chicken broth
2 cans chopped green chilies
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne
1 c sour cream
1/2 c whipping cream
Directions:
Saute the chicken, onion and garlic in oil until no longer pink.
Add the beans, broth, chilies and seasonings. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and whipping cream.
Notes:
I use dried beans that I soak overnight, fresh garlic, and homemade chicken broth.
I have used olive oil, veggie oil, and coconut oil.
I always add way more water when I make the chicken broth so it's more like a soup to serve a larger amount of people.
Very good as a chili and won an award at the town Heritage Days Chili Cook-off.
Try adding tomatillos.
My family LOVES this recipe.

1/2 c sour cream

Directions:
Prepare rice mix according to directions. Remove from heat when finished. Slice bell pepper to make three rings for garnish; set aside. Chop remaining bell pepper. Drain artichokes, cut into bite size pieces.

Chicken and Broccoli over Rice
350° - 20 minutes. Serves 4
1 bag of frozen broccoli florets (regular sized bag, I sometimes use two bags)
4 cups cooked, chopped chicken
1 10 3/4 can cream of chicken or celery soup ( I use campbell's chicken gravy instead because of MSG)
1/2 cup mayo
1/4 teaspoon curry ( I use a little more)
1/2 cup Parmesan
* Cook broccoli according to package directions. Drain broccoli and spread in 9x13 pan. (I mash it a little with a fork once it's in the pan) In a separate bowl, mix chicken, soup, mayo, curry, and Parmesan cheese. Spread chicken mixture over the broccoli. Bake at 350 degrees. Cover it for 20 minutes and uncover it for the last 10 minutes. We serve this over hot rice.
* I have substituted fresh broccoli many times in this recipe. You just have to judge what you think will fit in the 9x13 pan. The broccoli should be about an inch thick on the bottom of the pan after you mash it a little.

Mysti's Pink Chicken
Stove top - 60 minutes. Serves 4
Basically take about 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Put the frozen breasts into your skillet (all of mine are non-stick). Take about a cup or so of raspberry walnut vinaigrette dressing and pour it over the the chicken. Then sprinkle about a teaspoon or two of Worcestershire sauce over it. Sometimes I've also cut up a few cloves of fresh garlic over them as well - especially in summer when I'm trying to prevent being eaten alive by skeeters.
Now - cover the skillet and turn it on low - I mean really low. Like 2 or 3 low. Then go read a book or break up a fight between your kids, or watch House Hunters, or whatever it is you enjoy doing. Check back every now and then and turn your chicken so the sauce coats the chicken well.
After about 45 minutes, I usually take a spatula and start breaking the chicken into smaller pieces, then stir it up so that even more chicken surface is covered with the raspberry walnut vinaigrette goodness.
The last 5 minutes (it rarely takes more than an hour to cook, but since you can go off and do other things, like change out of your work clothes, or fold that last loud of laundry, or read your new People magazine, it doesn't seem that long), I take the lid off the skillet, and let the chicken brown up a bit.
Serve over your favorite kind of rice, and voila! Pink Chicken. Too easy to even be called a recipe, but most kids will eat the tar outta it. Add a veggie or two and you've got a meal.

Chicken Wraps
400° - 50 minutes. Serves 4
Ingredients:
Directions:
Season Chicken with Salt and Pepper. Cook chicken in a lightly oiled skillet until cooked through. Remove chicken from pan to cool.
Cook onions in skillet over medium to low heat until the onions are transparent and soft. While onions cook, pull the chicken into shreds with fingers or with two forks.
When onions are cooked through, add the chicken and salsa. Warm cream cheese in microwave for a few seconds until it is melted; add milk and whisk lightly with a fork; add to the chicken mixture and heat through.
Warm tortillas in microwave. Fill tortillas with chicken mixture and serve.
Ingredients:
2-3 Lbs. Boneless Skinless Chicken
Salt
Pepper
1 Small Onion, sliced
1 Pint Salsa
1 8oz. pkg. Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 C. Milk
Flour Tortilla Shells
Directions:
Season Chicken with Salt and Pepper. Cook chicken in a lightly oiled skillet until cooked through. Remove chicken from pan to cool.
Cook onions in skillet over medium to low heat until the onions are transparent and soft. While onions cook, pull the chicken into shreds with fingers or with two forks.

Warm tortillas in microwave. Fill tortillas with chicken mixture and serve.
Tips
~ I didn't have any salsa, so I used canned diced tomatoes, threw in some chili powder and cooked a sliced medium-hot Hungarian pepper with the onions.
~Use your favorite type of tortillas if you don't like flour.
~You can also add shredded lettuce or shredded cheese if you like.
~You can use whatever type of chicken you have on hand and prepare it any way you prefer. I think these would be fabulous with grilled chicken!

Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Pesto Butter
350° - 35-45 minutes. Serves 6
Ingredients:
6 boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup Fresh basil leaves, washed and dried
1/4 cup Grated parmesan cheese
1 clove Minced garlic
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup Flour (seasoned with salt and pepper)
1 eggs
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
Directions:
1. In food processor combine basil, parmesan cheese, garlic and butter. Process until well combined. Place in small pan lined with plastic wrap and freeze. Once frozen, continue.
2. Cut a small slit in the side of the chicken breast with a boning knife, from that slit form a "pocket" in the chicken to stuff the butter into. (Can also pound the chicken out relatively flat and just roll it around the butter).
3. Stuff all chicken breasts.
4. Dredge them in the flour (very lightly, I usually skip the flour), dip them in the egg, dip them in the breadcrumbs. (I always need more egg and breadcrumbs)
5. Either place on wax paper lined pan to freeze, or on pan to cook (make sure it has sides)
6. To cook, thaw chicken completely, place in pan and cook at 350F for about 35-45 minutes.
