Yummy Chicken & Dumplings!

It's officially Fall! That means all the best parts of the year are here! I am a Super Big Fan of chicken & dumpling, so I had to kick off fall with it! 

I found this chicken & dumpling recipe off another blog I read & tried it out. It was amazing & super easy.

Since L is not a fan of veggies I was happy to find something that made both of us happy! He loved it just as much as I did! Plus, My good friend Kris enjoyed it with us!

4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons butter
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 can chicken broth
1 onion diced (I used half of one)
1 tablespoon dried parsley
4 grands flaky refrigerator biscuits (I used five)

Put the chicken, butter, cream of chicken, chicken broth, parsley and onions in the crock pot and cook on high for four to six hours. Mine only needed five, and probably didn’t even need that much.

As the chicken cooks and gets tender, break it up with a spoon or fork, whatever.

Get your biscuits and cut them into nine pieces. I kind of rolled them into balls to ensure they stayed whole but it’s not necessary. Stir into chicken mixture and cook for another hour.

Try it out yourself! Let me know how it turns out for you! Or if you have an awesome recipe you'd like to share let me know, I am always down for trying new recipes!

P.S. Anyone happen to see the Packers & Bears game yesterday? :-) The Pack looks good this year! GO PACK GO!



Healthy Sweet Potato Fries

I am definitely not the cook in our household, however, I do try from time to time. I came across this recipe for Sweet Potato Fries and thought it would be nice to share.

Anytime I get the option at a restaurant to have them I pick it and I think it’s a great alternate option to fries.

Feeds Five: peel two good sized sweet potatoes.

Using a really sharp knife, cut the potato lengthwise in just smaller than 1/2 inch slices. If you don’t have a sharp knife, it might be safer to cut your potatoes across the width. So the sweet potatoes cook consistently, try to cut even slices.

Next cut sticks… again trying to be even.

If your sticks are super long, cut them in half… so they are fry length pieces.

Toss them in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. For two potatoes, use between 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil, so they are coated evenly.

Sprinkle with a little sugar, use 1/2 teaspoon.

Sprinkle in a little kosher salt.  Use about a teaspoon.

Now for flavor.  You could use a little cinnamon, but then you’d have to add more sugar.  Use a bit of spice with some Cajun Seasoning.  Use about 2 teaspoons.  You can use what ever seasoning suites your fancy.  Toss them well.

Spread them out on a greased cookie sheet in a single layer and put them in a preheated 450 degree oven.

Bake them for about 15 minutes, then took them out of the oven and flipped them over.

Bake them for about 15 minutes more or until they are getting nice and browned and a little crispy.

Serve with BBQ sauce whisked with just a little mayonnaise.

They are worth turning the oven on for.
Totally addicting
