Awesome Recipes

This is one of my favorite pictures from this week! Ethan was standing and using Jared's hair for support! He made some of the cutest faces!

I have been really getting back into cooking now that Ethan can kind of play by himself. I have decided to share some of my favorites this week!

Chicken and Corn Chowder

Ingredients:

1/6 cup butter, unsalted

2/3 large onion; chopped

2/3 cup chicken broth

1 1/3 cup potatoes; cut in 1' cubes

2 cups frozen corn

1 1/3 tablespoon sugar

2/3 teaspoon salt

black pepper to taste

2tablespoons flour, all-purpose

1 cup evaporated milk

2 chicken breast fully cooked and cut into cubes

Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and celery and saute 5 minutes until soft but not brown. Add chicken broth, chicken cubes, potatoes, corn, sugar, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until potatoes are barely tender, about 30 minutes. Whisk flour into 3/4 cup evaporated milk . Stir into soup. Add remaining evaporated milk and simmer until soup has thickened to creamy consistency, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if needed. If too thick, add a little milk; if too thin, simmer 5 to 10 minutes more.

BAR-B-Q CHICKEN PIZZA

This is my favorite from this week! I didn't think I would like it but it was really good!

1 Pizza Crust

1/2 pound chicken breasts cut up into strips

1/2 cup Sweet BarBQue Sauce or your favorite kind

3/4 cup mozzarella

1/4 cup parmesan cheese

1 cup thinly sliced red onion

2 tb olive oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Cook Chicken slices till no longer pink on the inside. (don't over cook) Put the chicken slices in the frig till completly cool. Add 2 Tablespoons Bar-B-Que Sauce to Chicken slices, put back in Frig. Cover raw pizza crust with the rest of the sauce then add onion slices and cover with parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup mozzarella. Then add chicken slices and cover with the remaining cheese. Put in oven for 8- 10 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Enjoy!!

Jared loved this next one! I only had bacon and chicken breasts so I didnt use three meats and it was still great!
