2cups cooked chicken

2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup finely diced green pepper
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1-4 oz jar diced pimentos, drained
3 cups dry spaghetti, broken into two inch pieces

1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Salt & Pepper to taste

Cook 1 cut up fryer and pick out the meat to make two cups. Cook spaghetti in same chicken broth until al dente. Do not overcook. When spaghetti is cooked, combine with remaining ingredients (the reserved chicken stock too) except additional 1 cup sharp cheddar. Place mixture in casserole pan and top with remaining sharp cheddar. Cover and freeze up to six months, cover and refrigerate up to two days, or bake immediately: 350 degrees for 45 minutes until bubbly. (If the cheese on top starts to get too cooked, cover with foil.)

Flaky Chicken Wraps

This is a recipe that I kind of altered because the original was way to greasy for me.

2 chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 envelope ranch dressing mix
1 can ready to bake refrigerated buttermilk flaky biscuits
Cheese (optional)

1/2 C mayo
1/2 C sour cream

  • Heat oven to 350, In a pan cook checken brest striips in a little oil and 2 Tbsp. of the ranch mix.
  • Seperate the dough into 8 biscuits. Press or roll each to form a 6-inch oval. Spread 3-4 peices of chicken mixture onto the bicuits. (We also added about 1-2 Tbsp. of cheese to this). Bring long ends of biscuit ovals up over chicken, overlapping and pinching to seal.
  • Sprinkle tops evenly with 2 tsp. ranch mix.
  • bake for 18 to 22 min or until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile , in a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayo and remaining salad dressing mix;blend well. Serve dipping sauce with the wraps.
