New Recipes

I knew I needed to get that horrible picture off the top of my page...so I must post something new! Last night I tried two new recipes for dinner. We enjoyed them and they were pretty easy...and a little messy(might just be my cooking skills though). They are called Chicken Packets and Lemonade Pie. The chicken packets are a Once a Month Cooking Recipe if you are into that so it can be made ahead somewhat and frozen (just make the mixture and freeze....add to crescent rolls when ready to eat it!)
Hope you enjoy it and let me know if you try it!

Chicken Packets
2 Large Chicken Breast boiled and cubed
1 block of Cream Cheese
Chives (2 Tablespoons) I substituted dried thyme..just a tad bit because they were out of chives at Wal-mart(not surprising)
Milk 2 tablespoons
2 8oz. cans of crescent rolls
1 stick of butter melted
One box of seasoned croutons crushed or bread crumbs

Cut up chicken into small cubes and boil. Add cream cheese, chicken, milk, and thyme or chives and mix well. Carefully open your crescent rolls...this can be trickier than one might imagine. You should have about eight triangles in each container. Lay a triangle down and fill with your mixture and cover with another triangle. Seal the two triangles well. Dip the chicken packet in the melted butter and then into the crushed croutons. Cover well and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Yummy!

Lemonade Pie
1 can condensed milk
1 8oz. container of cool whip
1 small container of frozen lemonade (the concentrated kind) let it thaw some but can still be icy.
2 graham cracker pie crust

Mix together and pour into the pie shells. Chill and serve! It makes two so this is a great one to make, keep one and give one away! So Easy!
