Chicken Pie with Red Skinned Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans and Corn

It the end of the semester and this is my last Sunday dinner I have to write for my blogging class. That being said I chose to make one of my favorites... Chicken pie. And what is Chicken pie without the trimming but as always I did them with a twist. Ingredients needed for this meal are:

Chicken Tenders
Pie Crust
Red Skinned Potatoes
2 Cans of Cream of Chicken
2 Can of Corn
Fine Cut Green Beans (Frozen)
Also items found in the home:
Salt
Pepper
Sour Cream
Butter
Oil
Soy Sauce
Italian Dressing
Milk
2 Pot
Medium Pot
Skillet
Glass Pan
2 Bowls

Preheat the oven to 350.

Begin with adding water, butter and oil into one of the pots. Then added the chicken tenders and boil until all the chicken is cooked.



Allow the chicken to cool. While cooling open the cans of cream of chicken, place in bowl and then about 2 cups of the chicken broil from the boiling of the chicken. Stir until combined.





Then in the other pot add water and place about 8 of the potatoes and allow to boil until the potatoes are mashable.



Once the chicken is cooled, shred the it in a bowl.



Set aside. Then in the glass pan place one of the pie crust in the bottom. Them spread the shredded chicken evenly over the the pie crust. After that pour the cream of chicken mixture over the chicken.




Put the other pie crust on top and put in the oven for about 30 minutes or until the pie crust is golden brown.

While the pie is in the oven mash the potatoes and add milk (add enough make them as creamy as you want), butter, salt, pepper and the sour cream to give the potatoes a twist.


Next, open the cans of corn and cook them how ever you want. I added salt and pepper with some butter and heated until it came to a boil.




Then in a skillet place the frozen green beans. As they heat up pour soy sauce and Italian dressing over them. Simmer until the green beans are tender.




By this time the chicken pie should be done as well as everthing else.



Serve.



Enjoy.


Unfortunately my mother brought the food for this meal for me so I did not get to keep the receipt but I do know the told cost was $14.82.

Ice Cream Cake with No Baking

I had never thought about using ice cream sandwiches to make an ice cream cake before I seen it on Pinterest, so I had to make it and plus I really did want to use the oven. On I $ave on Everything from A 2 Z, you can find this simple dessert recipe that I chaged to make it my own (which means I used items with peanut butter). For the dessert you will need:


1Box of 12 individual wrapped Ice Cream Sandwiches
Magic Shell Reese's
Whipped Topping
2 Packets of Resse's (4 Resse's total)
Hot Fudge (Optional, I end up not use it)
Also these items from home:
Plate
Knife







Start by unwrapping the sandwiches and stacking them on the plate. Between each layer pour some of the Magic Shell Reese's.




The sandwiches should be 4 row high. Once that is done place in freezer for about 10 minutes so that sandwiches can set.




Now spread the Whipped Topping over the sandwiches and place back in the freezer for about 5 minutes.




Pour the Magic Shell Reese's on top of the cake and crumble the Reese's over top of the cake.




Serve.





Enjoy! Cover and place in freezer when done.




I brought the items for the cake at the same time i brought the items for the Chicken Taco Salad, so for the Magic Shell Reese's ($2.89), 2 Reese's ($1.98), Ice Cream Sandwiches ($3.67), and Whipped Topping ($0.99) I spent a total of $9.53.

Chicken Taco Salad

For this meal I wanted to do something simple and individuals could make it their own. The one thing I know for sure you can make your own, a salad. So I made taco salads but instead of hamburger meat I used chicken.

Ingredients needed are:


Chicken Tenders (cut up into squares)
Taco seasoning packet
Can of corn
Cheese
Tortilla chips
Lettuce
Sour Cream
Salsa
1/4 cup of water
(whatever else you would like to add)




Start cleaning and cutting up the chicken and then cooking the chicken in a skillet.




Once the chicken is cooked add the taco seasoning and water to the chicken and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.





Set the chicken aside.

Open the can of corn and put in a small pot add butter and heat until ready to serve.




Once everything is done, you can make your salad anyway you want.

I put the Tortilla chips on  the bottom, then the chicken, lettuce, cheese, corn, sour cream and salsa.

Serve.



Enjoy!.


 
If you subtract the items for the dessert I will make on Wednesday ( Magic Shell Reese's ($2.89), 2 Reese's ($1.98), Ice Cream Sandwiches ($3.67), and Whipped Topping ($0.99) = $9.53), I spent  a total of $14.34.
