Lemon Chicken
As you can probably see from the picture, I use quite a bit of lemon pepper. I like the "kick" factor. If you don't like "kick" use less lemon pepper.Warning: This lemon chicken is VERY lemony. I would only recommend it if you are a big fan of lemon!

Add lemon juice (the more juice you add, the more lemony it will taste) and sprinkle a little more lemon pepper. Cook until lemon juice boils out and chicken is done. Serve over rice.

Gooey Brownies
3 cups sugar
1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp cocoa
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups melted butter
5 eggs
2 1/2 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
Mix together and spread on a buttered cookie sheet (standard stainless steel). Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 30 minutes. Be sure to not overcook. Frost
Frosting:
1/2 cup butter
3 1/2 tsp cocoa
6 T milk
1 tsp vanilla
Powdered Sugar--I have never measured. I just add until I get the consistency I want. If it becomes too thick I just add a little more milk.
Boil together, remove from heat and add powdered sugar. You can add nuts into the frosting or sprinkle on top if you would like. These are very rich but oh so good!

Not quite like Grandma made it...
I admit it, this isn't as good as Grandma's. But Gram's recipe isn't exactly "waist-friendly". So here is the healthy version of one of my favorite dishes:
Chicken Pot Pie
8 oz boneless, skinless lean chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1 10.75-oz can Campbell's 98% fat free cream of celery soup
3 servings Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls refrigerated dough
Preheat oven to 350. Cook chicken pieces in a pan sprayed with non-stick spray, until chicken is light brown. Meanwhile, heat frozen veggies in the microwave according to package directions. Mix chicken, vegetables, and soup together, then place in a baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake for 30 minutes or until mixture is hot and bubbly, stirring halfway through.
While dish is cooking, unroll 3 crescent rolls. Use your hands to combine pieces into one large ball of dough. With a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a piece large enough to fit inside the dish. Lay the dough across the top of the mixture, then put it back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes.
Serves 4. Weight Watchers points = 5.
Really good, despite only having four ingredients!

Julie Wageman Chicken cassarole
Okay, so it's a silly name, but my husband won't let me rename it! Julie brought this to me right after I had Kaylie, and I LOVED it! It took a year and a half for me to get the recipe, but now it's a regular on our menu! Enjoy!
1 can each of French Onion soup
Cream of Celery
Cream of Mushroom
Cream of Chicken
3-4 cups of rice...cooked and cooled
1 cup margarine or butter (I used only half a cup of butter, and it turned out great!)
4-6 chicken breasts, not cooked
Mix all of the soups together, and pour 1/2 of it on the bottom of a 9x13 pan, set aside. Pour the rice over the soup mix; melt the butter and pour that over the rice. Lay the uncooked chicken on the rice, and cover with the rest of the soup mix.
Cook at 250 for 3-4 hours. Goes great with steamed broccoli, green beans, or asparagus! So sorry I don't have a picture of it! But it's so yummy!

Flautas
Grilling instead of frying!! Super simple and really good chicken!3 chicken breasts
1 tbsp fajita seasoning (or your own combination of Mexican seasonings
1 tsp garlic salt
10 flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheese
oil for deep frying
toothpicks
toppings of your choice to dip them in such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, etc.
Place your chicken in a crock pot with the fajita seasoning and garlic salt and cook on low for at least 6 hours. About 1 hour before you want to eat, remove chicken from the crock pot. Shred the chicken and allow to cool for about 30 minutes. Then mix in shredded cheese. Now it's time to fill the tortillas. Warm your tortillas in the microwave. They will be easier to roll up. Put some of the chicken at one end of the tortillas and roll up jelly-roll style and secure with a toothpick. Then deep fry these until golden brown and enjoy dipping them in whatever you like!

Slow Cooker Barbecue Chicken
4-6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (I used 4 large breast that were partially frozen)
1 (18 oz.) bottle of barbecue sauce (hickory smoke is the best!)
1/2 cup prepared Italian salad dressing
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Place chicken in crock pot. In a bowl mix 2/3 of the bottle of barbecue sauce, Italian Salad dressing, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over chicken. Cover and cook for 3 to 4 hours on high or 6 to 8 hours on low. (I cook on low) Remove chicken from crock pot. Pour juices from crock pot into a large bowl. Shred chicken and place back in crock pot. Add remaining 1/3 of bottle barbecue sauce to chicken and mix. Then add some of the liquid removed from the crock pot to make the chicken the wetness that you like it. Makes at least 8 sandwiches.

Southwestern Eggrolls
These are as close as I've found to Chili's Southwestern Eggrolls, though they're really more of a chimichanga. They are still very tasty!
2 chicken breasts, shredded (or canned chicken works too)
1 can black beans
1 can corn
2 cups monterey or pepper jack cheese (cheddar works too, just a milder taste)
1 cup fresh spinach chopped (frozen works too)
1 green or red bell pepper chopped
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2-4 T chili powder (depending on how spicy you like it)
1-2 T cumin (half as much as the chili powder)
1 T lime juice
1 t. salt
20 tortillas
enough oil to shallow fry in
For a fast prep time, put everything but the chicken, beans, corn and cheese in a food processor. Add chicken, beans, corn and cheese. Mix well and roll into flour tortillas. They can be frozen at this point for a quick meal later, or shallow fry them till brown on both sides. Use a toothpick to keep it together if necessary. For a healthier option, they can also be broiled in the oven till crispy.
These aren't nearly as good without the dipping sauce though, so here's the recipe for it:
Avocado-Ranch Sauce
1/2 avocado
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 tsp lime zest or lime juice to taste
smash avocado and mix together. The lime zest really gives it a great flavor, but since I don't often have limes on hand, when I buy one, I zest the whole peel and freeze it for later use.Enjoy!
