Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

You may, or may not recognize this dish from a post way back in the day on this blog, however I've adapted it a bit and wanted to post my new version.  This is one of my favorite comfort food meals.  In the past I've always made it using convenience foods, which is still fantastic, however making it from scratch only takes a few extra minutes and is much more rewarding.  


Chicken and Stuffing Casserole
Ingredients:
1 lb. boneless/skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness and cut into 1" cubes, or 1 lb. shredded cooked chicken
2 Tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 Tablespoons flour
1 cup warm chicken broth
1/2 cup warm milk
8 oz. Sour Cream
1-2 cups thawed frozen vegetables of choice
1/2 cup shredded cheese.  I use cheddar but Swiss would be amazing if my husband liked it!
2 cups stale bread cubes
2 teaspoons desired herbs (such as parsley, sage and thyme)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a casserole dish with cooking spray.

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.  Add in garlic and cook until fragrant.  Stir in flour and cook until slightly golden brown.  Slowly whisk in milk and 1/2 cup broth.  Simmer until it reaches a light boil and begins to thicken a bit.  Stir in sour cream, chicken, vegetables and cheese.  Add mixture to prepared casserole dish.

In a separate bowl, combine bread cubes, remaining broth (should be 1/2 cup) and seasonings as desired.  Place on top of casserole mixture.  

Bake uncovered for 30-45 minutes until chicken is cooked through (if using raw chicken), or until heated through and bubbling if using cooked chicken.

    Karishma - Nope, I generally don't precook them. The casserole is in the oven long enough that they cook. I do always make sure to test the temp on a few though before serving to make sure the chicken is cooked to 165-170 degrees.

The Best Vanilla Cupcake Recipe

A fabulous vanilla cupcake recipe is something everyone needs. EVERY.ONE. Not just bakers. Not just parents that host a lot of kid parties. Everyone. I've tried several, and many have been phenomenal. Then I tried Amy Sedaris's after finding the recipe online, and it was above and beyond the best vanilla cupcake I've ever made. It was an easy batter to make, baked up beautifully, and most importantly - tasted amazing. Regardless if you have never made vanilla cupcakes and need a recipe to start with, or even if you think you have the best - give this one a shot. You will not be disappointed! Vanilla Cupcakes Ingredients: 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 1/2 cups flour 1 1/4 cups milk Directions: - Preheat oven to 375 degrees. - Mix butter at medium speed until smooth.

Slow Cooker or Pressure Cooker Beef Chili

I don't experiment much with chili because it rarely goes well for me and my family. I've slowly adapted my chili recipe over the years, but I've still always used canned chili beans, with a flavored sauce. I've been wanting to try regular beans (whether canned or dried, I wasn't discerning, just didn't want the sauce), so off to the Googles I went rather than trying to recreate the spice blend from my normal canned beans. Because I was originally planning to make chili in the Instant Pot, that's where I focused my search. Thankfully the recipe I decided to try was adapted from a Slow Cooker recipe, because life got in my way and I wasn't able to make the chili the night before as planned, and I wouldn't have had time to use the pressure cooker with my schedule that day. What drew me to this recipe was the simplicity of the ingredients. And lack of jalapeno. Because somehow nearly every time I plan chili I forget to buy a jalapeno, even if it

St. Louis Style Pizza (Thin and Crusty Pizza)

Pizza crust is a very personal thing.  Thin, thick, pan, deep-dish, etc.  You love what you love.  I'm a St. Louisan - I love THIN crust pizza.  Like, cracker thin!  I've tried a few different thin crust recipes , and since they're pizza they're enjoyable, but when I saw this recipe on Cook's Country while watching some old videos I knew I needed to try it immediately.  Made it a few days later and it was fantastic.  This is definitely my new go-to cracker thin pizza crust recipe. What I loved best about this recipe is that it was so simple.  A handful of ingredients, no advance prep needed, no unique ingredients, simple.  Literally anyone that can combine a few ingredients together could make this recipe.  And because you don't need to prep it in advance, you could make the dough, sauce, top it and bake the pizza on many given weeknights!  A huge win for our house!
