What is Wicked chicken? I'm always looking for good chicken recipes!

Wicked Chicken

1 box stuffing mix
1 package peas-thawed
2 small cans of mushrooms
2 cups cooked chunked chicken
1 can cream of chicken soup
2/3 soup can of milk
butter
water

Grease a 2 quart casserolle dish. Layer dry stuffing mix in the bottom, just enough to cover it. Layer in a package of peas, mushrooms, and cooked chunked chicken (about 2 cups). Mix a can of cream of chicken soup with 2/3 of a soup can of milk and pour over the top. Make the rest of the stuffing mix according the directions on the package and layer on top. Cook at 350 degrees for 30 min.

I've made it using left over turkey instead of chicken, used different vegetables (green beans) and different cream soups (mushroom and celery) and its always come out good. The above is my family's favorite version of it.

Would love to know too!! I love a good chicken recipe. Also, your week meals look so gourmet. I wish I had the time. Mainly, it's grilling or the crockpot for us. ETA: We posted at the same time. Thanks for the recipe, I think I'll try it out.

Here is my list:

Sunday: Crockpot honey-ginger chicken, sticky rice and steamed broccoli;
Monday: Soccer game right after work, so unfortunately it will probably be a grilled chicken sandwich at the concession stand;
Tuesday: Grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and baked beans;
Wednesday: Spaghetti with meatsauce, salad and garlic bread;
Thursday: Skillet Italian Chicken thighs with rice
Friday: Pizza
Saturday: Steaks on the grill maybe, with mushrooms and baked potatoes

I have everything now except for the steak and mushrooms. I'll pick that up on Saturday.

On a side note, I went to Aldis yesterday and I just love the place. I've been before, but now go about once a month. I bought an entire cart full of stuff for $86.68. If you have a nice one in your town, I strongly suggest that you try it out!

Actually, I work full time so most of my meals are really easy to do. I do a lot of prep work for the week on Sundays like getting the veggies all washed and cut up and in bags. Same with the salad. I make it and put it in plastic bags. Casserolles I make the night before so they just have to go in the oven the next day. Once you get used to doing it, it really doesn't take all that much time.

I LOVE to use recipe sites to find some variety. Many have a tool where you list ingredients you have and they will give you recipes. Sometimes just a little adventure is better than ANYTHING you might get out

 

[charming23]

I have weeks like that, too. Don't be hard on yourself ~ sometimes it just happens that way

Thanks. This week I should be able to get back on track.

I am still working on a menu but here is what I know for sure

Tonight: Pepperoni take and bake pizza from Wal-mart with salad

Your Monday night dinner sounds great. Can you share recipes?

I posted a new menu + grocery list today. If anyone doesn't want to do their own menu planning they can print it for free and be ready to shop, cook, eat!

When my DH is not home for the week it looks like this: mac and cheese, ramen, leftovers, eggs and toast. No way I'm putting the work in w/no one to appreciate it.

Actually it is so simple because BJ's sells a big glass jar of the General Tso's sauce by Iron Chef and its delish jar last a while just need a little bit to toss in, we toss the tyson popcorn chicken in it, served on top of some minute rice and frozen snow peas tossed in butter and salt and pepper. The eggrolls are just bagged coleslaw mix with carrots 1 small chopped onion with a little bit of fresh ginger and a little bit of soy sauce salt and pepper, mix up spoon a little into doubled up eggroll wrappers and wrap eggroll syle, heat up your deep fryer or submerged in hot oil in deep heavy pan about 375 degrees until golden brown.

The sauce is as spicy as we like so I sometimes add red pepper flakes to ours, leave as is in some for kids. Sorry no measurements I don't use them just a little here and a little there kind of cook

 

[TiffanyK]

Yum! Thanks for sharing your recipes. That sounds delish!

That is as far as I have gotten, but I do have enough food in the freezer/fridge to last for the week and then some, so I am not too worried about it.
