Poppy Seed Chicken

I stole this recipe from Kelly's Recipes, so the credit goes to her, but this dish was so yummy, both Jeff and I hoovered it!


Ingredients: 2-3 chicken breasts cut into chunks, 2 cans cream of chicken soup, Ritz crackers, 1 16 oz. sour cream, poppy seeds (2 tablespoons), rice, 1 stick of butter (will be melted eventually).


Cut the chicken breast into chunks and put them in a baking dish. I sprayed my dish with butter spray beforehand.


Mix the 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and sour cream together. The 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds get mixed in here too! You can also add more poppy seeds if you want!


Spread mixture on top of chicken, crumble Ritz crackers and spread them over the mixture, melt your 1 stick of butter, and pour all over the top. Bake at 350* for about 30 minutes.


I made rice to go along with it and put my chicken all over the top of it. Jeff likes his rice on the side and he always pours soy sauce all over it!


Delicious dinner, and we have so much left over that we have another meal for the week!

Pecan Crusted Chicken

This was pretty easy and I made it up as I went along. I made some mistakes, which I learned from for next time, but it was still delicious!


All the ingredients you need (I wound up needing 2 bags of chopped pecans, and I used breast tenderloins since they're smaller.) Make sure you really smash up the pecans more, I didn't and they had a hard time sticking at first.


Mix together 3 eggs.


Spray your baking dish! (I used olive oil spray)


Spread the pecans out on a plate.



Take each piece of chicken and dip it into the eggs. Make sure you cover the entire thing!


Put the chicken in the pecans and make sure you cover both sides!


I noticed the pecans weren't sticking to the chicken well, so I ended up putting pecans at the bottom of the dish, and I took all the extras and covered the top of the chicken then sprayed with more olive oil spray. It worked out very well! Cook at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes.


These are Lipton chicken flavored noodles. So easy and yummy! These take about 7 minutes to cook. Don't minde the awful aluminum foil. I'm begging Jeff to get rid of it and just buy new burner covers of whatever they're called!


I also made some frozen green beans (which are sprayed with butter spray, that's why they look kind of funny in this picture.) The chicken needed some sort of sauce, so I used Duck Sauce and Jeff used Teryaki. Both were excellent!
