Chicken Pot Pie

Pre-heat oven to 350

*  2 cups organic baby carrots cut in half
*  3 small potatoes from the Trader Joe's Potato Medley (I like to mix up the colors of potatoes, purple,  red and yellow)
*  1 small onion
*  6 hard boiled eggs
*  1 large can cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom is ok (optional, add heavy cream substitute)
*  2-3 chicken breast boiled and chopped
*  1 cup chicken broth (or use the broth from boiling the chicken)
*  4 cups Bisquick (Trader Joes, multi-grain baking mix)
*  2 cups milk
*  1 stick of butter
*  1 cup peas
*  3 garlic cloves (optional)

Start with boiling your eggs.

In a separate pot boil your chicken until cooked thoroughly.

While chicken is boiling chop carrots, potatoes and onions.

Remove chicken and leave about 1 cup of broth in pot.  Add carrots and onions and boil for about 5 min.

While boiling; in a separate bowl mix Bisquick and milk.  This is your topping.  It should be thick but easy to spread.

Chop chicken and add chicken, cream of chicken soup and potatoes to carrots and onion mixture.

Turn down heat to low.  Stir occasionally.

Melt butter.

Add mixture to a large deep baking dish.  Spread evenly.

Cover the top with peas. 

Peal eggs and use an egg slicer to slice, placing them on top of the peas covering the entire dish.

Spread the topping CAREFULLY over the eggs so the edges touch the side of the dish (so the butter doesn't go into the mixture and stays on top of the topping).

Drizzle the butter over the top of the topping.   

Bake 30-45 min UNCOVERED until the top is golden brown and cooked through.  Not doughy in the middle.  Check with a fork or knife, should be like a biscuit.

Chicken Cream Cheese Enchiladas

3 cooked and chopped chicken breast (boil is best, use broth)
1/2 green AND 1/2 red bell pepper chopped
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 small onion chopped
1 cup salsa
3 fresh tomatoes diced
2-3 garlic cloves (optional)
1 - 8oz package Philadelphia cream cheese
10-15 - 6" tortillas
3 cups Cheddar cheese

In a medium pot boil chicken till cooked all the way (about 20 min boiling), remove chicken from pot and set aside. Drain broth from pot (or put in freezer safe container and freeze broth).  Chop or shred chicken.  In the same pot add cream of chicken soup/broth, chopped onion, peppers, garlic and the chicken.  Heat through, not boil.  Add salsa.  Stir. Turn off heat and remove from burner.  Dice up your cream cheese add to mixture and stir softly.  Add generous amount of mixture to center of tortilla and roll.  Place in a large baking dish that has a LID or you can use foil to cover.

Once you have your tortillas filled, there will be left over sauce, that is OK you want to leave some left over, about 1/2 or 1 cup worth, chicken and all!! Add cheddar cheese to the left over sauce and stir until melted.  Poor over the center of the enchiladas in baking dish then cover with lid or foil.

BAKE 350 for 20 min. uncover and bake additional 10 min to make cheese on top slightly golden.
