Chicken Biscuit Pie

This is a twist of Chicken Pot Pie, but made with biscuits, well because I didn't have pie crust =)

2 C. cooked chicken (I used left over's from last night)
2 cans of refrigerated biscuits
1/2 C. frozen vegis (whatever you like, I used the mix with carrots, green beans, peas & potatoes. Or you can substitute with Veg-All, 2 cans, drained)
2 cans Cream Of Whatever You Like
Salt & Pepper

Preheat oven to 400*. Take on can of biscuits & cut into fours. Place them into a 9x13" baking dish. Mix the other ingredients & pour over the biscuits. Then do the same with the other can of biscuits.
Bake for 20 mins or 'till the biscuits are cooked & filling is bubbly.

Onion Broiled Chicken Thigh & Au Jus Sauce w/ Cheesy Potatoes

So, life has grabbed me and just ain't letting go. I did NOT feel like even cooking, but I do have a family I must care for. So here it goes...

Onion Broiled Chicken Thighs w/ Au Jus Sauce
12 Chicken Thighs
2 Pkg Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1/4 C Olive Oil
2 tsp cornstarch

Heat oven to 425*. Get a pan that can take the broiler & line with foil (the best trick I've ever learned for clean up!). Place the thighs in the pan. Mix olive oil & soup mix together & slather it over the thighs.
Bake for 40 mins.
Take the thighs out & pour the drippings into a pot. Mix the cornstarch with 1/4 c. of water, pour into drippings. Let warm up & thicken just a bit, remember, it is Au Jus sauce, not gravy.


Potatoes
Make instant potatoes as directed, but add some Parmesan cheese into the instant potatoes.

Serve all together. Place the Au Jus into a bowl & dip away. The Au Jus can also be poured over the potatoes, if desired.

Apple Walnut Salad

I must confess, Stater Bros has this "Apple Walnut Salad" that I am in love with! I think I could eat it everyday, but it's pretty pricey ($5.99 per pound).
So, I've decided to make my own rendition of this salad =) Not to mention a good recipe for our upcoming Luau for Little!

Gala Apples
Celery
Craisins
Coconut
Walnuts
Sour Cream

Honestly, I'm not including measurements, because I just tossed it all together.
Cut your apples up to bite size peices. Celery, cut the stalk down the middle length wise then chop up. Toss the remaing ingredients into a bowl with the apples & celery. Add sour cream, just to moisten the salad...ENJOY!
