Cheesy Mexican Chicken

I got this recipe from a co-worker when I still worked at a daycare & it is so simple but very good. My children love it & so does hubby.

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I use boneless, skinless chicken tenders, enough to fill up the dish)
1 can (10 3/4 oz.) cream of chicken soup
1 pkg. (8 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 C milk
1 pkg. (1 1/4 oz.) taco seasoning mix
3 C corn chips, crushed

Place chicken in 9x13 baking dish.
Mix soup, 1 1/2 C shredded cheddar cheese, milk & seasoning mix. Spoon over chicken. Top with chips; cover.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 min. Remove cover; top with remaining cheese. Bake uncovered 10 min. or until cheese is melted. Serve with rice. I usually stir it all together with the cooked rice and make a casserole type thing. :)

Barbecue Chicken Sauce

My hubby makes some of the best chicken bbq I've ever had and this is his recipe for the sauce. It is enough for 80 lb. of chicken thighs.

1 C water
2 C vinegar
2 lb. butter
1/4 C salt
1/4 oz. worcestershire sauce
Combine all ingredients in saucepan & bring to a boil. Spread on chicken on outdoor grill. (Charcoal gives it a much better flavor than a gas grill) Spread on chicken each time you turn the chicken.

Then mix the following in a bowl (I usually double this portion)
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp pepper
2 T paprika
4 T brown sugar
6 T ketchup
2 T lemon juice

Mix together & stir in with the butter sauce (above) and use on chicken in the last 1/2 hour of grilling.

Chickenetti

Great & simple chicken casserole!

1 lb. spaghetti, broken into 2 in. pieces
3-4 C chicken (approx. 4 legs, cooked)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 1/2 C chicken broth
1/4 tsp pepper
1 onion, grated
3/4 lb. Velveeta cheese

Cook spaghetti until tender. While spaghetti is cooking, combine cooked chicken and remaining ingredients. When spaghetti is cooked, drain and stir into the chicken mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

I'll start with one of my favorite recipes. Very simple & delicious!
