Last Week's Dinners

So 75% of my dinners last week were a bust.  The Green Chile Mac and Cheese was as I posted, not such a good idea.  The consistency was not what it should be.  So I will continue to look for another recipe.  Wednesday's dinner was not quite defrosted when we got home so we had to improvise very quickly.  We didn't have any sides either, so again we had to improvise.  We used a a Disney Family recipe Basic Sauteed Chicken to make the chicken and a Savory Herb Rice as a side.  It was a nice quick dinner.  Nothing bad to write about it, just quick and easy.  As for Thursday's dinner, we had to make a quick dish for a last minute pot luck so again, something quick and easy.  Frozen Fish and Fries.  Nothing spectacular, again just quick.

Here is the potluck dish.  This is always a hit and it can be used Hot or Cold.  If doing it Hot, make it and put it in one of the little dipper crock pots.  You can serve it with crackers, but we usually use a cut up baguette.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

1lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, boiled and shredded.

(I'm lazy and I cook it in Chicken Broth and then throw it, while still hot in my KitchenAid Mixer and shred it.  It's so easy in the mixer with the paddle paddle.)

1 Package of shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

1 Package of Cream Cheese, softened

I bottle Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing (your choice)

1 bottle Franks Red Hot Sauce

Boil Chicken in chicken broth or water until cooked.  While chicken is boiling, beat cream cheese in the mixer until smooth.  Once the cream cheese is smooth add shredded cheese and dressing.  Again beat until smooth.  Once the cream cheese mixture is smooth, add Franks Hot Sauce to taste.  (Word to the wise, the longer it sits in the fridge, the hotter it usually gets)  Once you have the Cream Cheese, Cheese, Hot Sauce, and dressing mixed together add the shredded chicken.  It will resemble a toxic orange mess of goodness.  

Let sit over night, and serve with bread or crackers.
