This and that . . .

Had a phenomenal weekend away with some girlfriends, doing tons of scrapbooking, chatting and snacking!!  Really had a lovely time, and learned tons of things to do on the Cricut machine!! 

One thing I did cook recently was on Friday, before I left.  I had found a recipe for a turkey breast roast in the crock pot.  I had some of the leftovers on Sunday when I got back, and OMG - it was delicious!!  Really simple . . . http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/slow-cooker-turkey-breast/Detail.aspx.  Used some in quesadillas yesterday for dinner, and put the rest into the freezer for a casserole later in the week. 

On Saturday, at the crafting retreat, I made Swiss chicken casserole for dinner for everyone - I thought it came out delicious!! 

Swiss Chicken Casserole

2 1/2 cups Stove Top stuffing Mix, divided
6 chicken breast halves
salt and pepper
2 tsp olive oil
6 slices swiss cheese
1 can cream of chicken (or celery or mushroom)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup white wine

Preheat oven to 350 deg.  Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan, set aside. 

In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil.  Add 2 cups of stuffing mix, mix well, remove from heat and set aside for 5 minutes.  Spread stuffing evenly on bottom of 9 x 13 inch pan.

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.  Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat and lightly brown chicken breasts on both sides.  Arrange chicken in 9 x 13 inch pan.  Cover each piece of chicken with 1 slice of swiss cheese. 

In a separate bowl, mix soup, sour cream and wine thoroughly.  Pour sauce over chicken evenly.  Sprinkle with remaining stuffing mix.  Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted.

NOTE:  you can just arrange raw chicken into the casserole, but be sure you bake it 45-50 minutes.
