Layered Chicken

So today's blog is a cooking one.
My family called it chicken cordon blue, but it is just a layered chicken dish

First let's assemble our ingredients, you will need;
10 pieces of Canadian bacon
one box stove top stuffing
3 chicken breast
10 slices of provolone cheese 
mushrooms, if desired
3 to 4 cups heavy whipping cream
3/4 c sour cream
1/3 c milk
2 tsp nutmeg 
paprika 
pam
seasoning


Now arrange your baking pans. I am using a square 8x8 and three other glass pans that I will cover and freeze for another day. Be sure to use oven safe pans.


I cut my large chicken breast into 4 pieces about 3 to 4 inches and 1bout 1/2 thick.
I used a smaller pan, but any size frying pan will do. Spray it with Pam. Season the chicken (I like the garlic sat, but regular sat and pepper works great)
Then I start to cook them in the frying pan over a med. low heat until just cooked through.


While the chicken is cooking, start the  layering by placing the Canadian bacon in the baking dish that has been light sprayed with pam or something similar 


Next places about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of prepared stuffing on  bacon


 Next you take your cooked chicken breast and layer it on the stuffing


Then you place the provolone cheese on top of your chicken breast. In the next picture you will see that I put mushrooms on top of the cheese, These are totally a person preference and with or without them the recipes is fine.


now we need to make the sauce. In the same pan that you have cooked the chicken breast, pour 1/3 cup of milk and stir until blended


Next thing to add to the mixture is 3/4 cup of sour cream


Again stir the mixture until well blended


Now we add 3 to 4 cups of heavy whipping cream


Next add about 2 tsp of nutmeg


mix it in well and heat mixture until it is just starting to bubble.


turn off burner and ladle  sauce over prepared stacks


Continue this until you have place all the sauce over all of the chicken. Sprinkle a little bit of paprika cover stacks


Cover with aluminum foil (or lids if you are freezing some of them)



This recipe makes 10 servings
To bake thawed meal set oven to 350 
 cook in oven safe pan for 30 minutes

If you are cooking one you previously had frozen. 

Remove any non oven safe pieces, such as plastic lids or coverings. Cover with aluminum foil.

If still frozen cooks at 350 degrees for 1 hour and check to make sure it has gotten heated all the way through. 

If you thawed if in the refrigerator  before hand and it is now completely thawed, cook at 350 degree for about 30 minutes.

hope you enjoy this as much a we do.

Trees for the Festival

Image
As it is almost the end of January, I felt that I should get myself in gear and finish my 2017 Christmas posts. Here is the process I went though this year for the two large trees and one small tree that I decorated for the Festival of Trees First I measured the spaces needed down in my basement game /family area. This tree required a 7x9 foot area and the other required a 9 by 14 foot area. Next I put the trees bag where I wanted to put the tree up in each space. Then I got my ornaments gathered. Next was assembling the trees and checking to make sure the lights worked, as they are always new trees, so far I have not had a problem with lights. Then I put some of the ornaments on, the tree topper on, and the tree skirt around it to check how I am planning it to look. Next I stack the boxes I am going to wrap to had depth and high to the display Then I put out he other items I have that go with the tree theme. This one was a Hogwarts Christmas, of course.
