Grilled Chicken Breasts with Queso Verde Sauce

WOW! This one was very tastey! First the ingredients and how to make it:

4 Chicken Breasts

Olive Oil

Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime Seasoning Blend

6 Slices WHITE American Cheese

1/3 cup Salsa Verde

Rub light layer of olive oil on chicken breasts. Sprinkle seasoning blend on both sides of chicken. Cook on grill for 6 minutes on each side or until cooked through. While chicken is cooking, place salsa in microvave safe bowl. Shred cheese slices and place in bowl. Microwave in 30 second incraments until cheese is melted, stiring in between. When chicken is cooked, spoon sauce over chicken and serve. We had Uncle Ben's Spanish Rice that is in a pouch and only takes 90 seconds to cook along with the chicken.

Now for the review: I served the kids each some cut up chicken with a little sauce and some rice. T took one bite of the chicken and promptly said "Uck!" and spit it out. (Yes, he is becoming a picky eater now! The boy who would once eat anything and everything....SIGH!) He did eat almost all his rice though. E however, made faces and expressed that she did not like it and would not eat it. She ended up suffering through her courtesy bite but that was all she would eat. Mom and dad however really liked it and will have it again. Maybe next time the kids will like it, who knows!

Now on to Little E...she is 6 months old and eating solid foods. Her favorites are peas, sweet potatos, bananas, oatmeal, and pears. Heres hoping she is not picky like the other 2!

This one definitely needs some veggies added to it...don't you think?

Broccoli Chicken Divan

I'm seeing a trend with me and cut up skillet chicken with Broccoli....what can I say, its yummy!

I got this recipe on Allrecipes using my iPhone app, the dinner spinner!

Ingredients:

1 pound chopped fresh broccoli

1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken meat

1 can condensed cream of broccoli soup

1/3 cup of milk

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 Tablespoon butter, melted

2 Tablespoons dried bread crumbs

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees

2. Place the broccoli in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook 5 minutes, or until tender. Drain

3. Place the cooked broccoli in a 9'pie plate. Top with the chicken. IN a bowl, mix the soup and milk, pour over the chicken. Sprinkle with Cheddar Cheese. Mix the melted butter with the bread crumbs and sprinkle over the cheese.

4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until bubbly and lightly brown

A few notes....the 9" pie plate was not big enough....perhaps I had too much broccoli? Is that possible? we love broccoli!

I used a 9x9 pyrex dish instead.

The ONLY complaint we had at dinner this night was that there was not enough food. We all wanted seconds and there wasn't any left over after the first serving.

Its a yummy and super easy dish to make, I give it 5 stars!

mmmmmmm.
