Chicken and Broccoli Casserole


This recipe is super easy and my all of my kids love it. I either half the recipe for our family (there are 6 of us) and bake it in an 8X8 in. pan, or I make the full recipe in two 8X8 in. pans and freeze the other half for another time. Enjoy!

Chicken and Broccoli Casserole
4 chicken breasts
2 pkgs. frozen broccoli (I use fresh, a lot of it. I steam it before adding to casserole)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 cup grated cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbs or cornflake crumbs

Broil chicken until cooked through (I put season all on each side of the chicken). Cut into bite size pieces. Steam broccoli if fresh. If not pour frozen broccoli into bottom of 13X9 in. pan. Mix soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and curry powder.

Layer broccoli in bottom of pan. Place chicken over the broccoli. Pour soup mixture on top. Sprinkle the bread crumbs (I use cornflake crumbs) over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. I put cheese over the top for the last few minutes until it melts. Serve over rice.

Strawberry Peach Crisp



I got this recipe out of a Kraft Family Food's free magazine I get in the mail. I love how easy it is!

1/2 cup flour, divided
2 cans (15-1/4 oz. each) peach slices, drained
2 cups halved strawberries
3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold butter
3 cups Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds Cereal, lightly crushed
1/2 cup thawed Cool Whip

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Remove 2 Tbsp. of the flour; set aside. Toss peach slices with strawberries, 3/4 cup sugar and remaining flour in large bowl. Place in ungreased 9-inch square baking dish.

MIX reserved 2 Tbsp. flour and the 2 Tbsp. sugar in separate large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cereal; stir until well blended. Sprinkle over fruit mixture.

BAKE 25 min. or until topping is lightly browned. Serve topped with whipped topping.

Okay sisters.. where are your recipes???
