Baked Chicken Chimichangas with Green Sauce Recipe By Karen's Kreative Cookin

Baked Chicken Chimichangas with Green Sauce Recipe:
• 2 (10.5 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
• 2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chiles
• 5 pitted green olives
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1/2 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning
• 1 pound shredded cooked chicken meat
• 8 (10 inch) flour tortillas
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup chopped green onion
• 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream


Directions:
-Pour the cream of chicken soup into a blender along with the green chiles, olives, jalapeno, and lime juice. Puree until smooth, then pour into a saucepan, and warm over medium-low heat while proceeding with the recipe.

-In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and taco seasoning until well blended. Fold in the chicken (optional- season chicken with garlic and salt). Evenly divide mixture among the 8 tortillas (I actually only made 7). Fold each tortilla into a rectangular packet around the filling.


-Place all chimichangas in a 9x13 glass pan, sprayed with non-stick spray. Brush all sides of each chimichanga with a small amount of olive oil. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, pull pan out and turn over each chimichanga. Bake for 15 minutes more


Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Poppers By Foodie Tv



Fresh jalapeno peppers, medium to large size (you’ll be cutting each pepper in half, so get enough peppers to make 4 or more halves per person)
Cream cheese (room temperature or softened in microwave)
Bacon (regular sliced, not thick)
Frozen, raw shrimp (defrosted)

Preheat oven to 375° F.
Cut each jalapeno in half (lengthwise) & cut off stem. Remove the seeds and white membranes (which are loaded with capsaicin which can taste too hot) with a small spoon or paring knife.

Fill the pepper halves with cream cheese, leveling it off with the edges of the jalapeno. This is one ingredient with which you can get creative. You can mix in any kind of shredded cheese with the cream cheese and/or any spice that you like (garlic, cumin, etc.).

Just be sure to keep whatever cheese you’re using level with the edges of the pepper, or you’ll end up with a bubbled-over mess after they’ve cooked.

Remove the shells from the shrimp & slice each shrimp in half. These shrimp peel easily as they come already deveined. Just continue slicing through the deveined area to create two pieces.

Place one shrimp-half on top of each cheese-filled pepper half. You can omit this ingredient if you have a seafood-hater in your crowd like we do. I usually offer both plain and shrimp-filled when I make these for parties.

Cut the bacon slices into halves or thirds, depending on how large your peppers are or if using shrimp. The bacon needs to be long enough to wrap around the entire length of the pepper. You can use a toothpick to secure the bacon if you’re worried about it shriveling up and falling off, but I haven’t had much trouble with this in the past and find it unnecessary. If you wrap it snugly (starting at the underside of the top of the pepper) in a diagonal fashion with no overlap, the bacon should cover the pepper & shrimp pretty well. A half slice of bacon works perfectly for the larger peppers.

Bake the poppers on a rack that fits into a rimmed cooking sheet. They should take anywhere from 15-25 minutes to cook, depending on how hot your oven cooks. Check them frequently to avoid burning the bacon. If the bacon isn’t crispy or brown enough (even though the rest of the poppers are cooked through), broil them for a couple of minutes until desired bacon doneness. If using the shrimp, they will turn pink when they are cooked through. I’ve heard of people cooking these on outdoor grills, which makes them a good appetizer choice when you need to bring a food item to a BBQ.

Buffalo Chicken Bites By Karen's Kreative Cookin

Ingredients



1 cup finely diced cooked chicken breast
4 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp hot sauce (I used Frank's brand)
2 Tbsp ranch dressing
1 lb frozen bread dough, thawed



Directions

In a small bowl, combine the chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and hot sauce; set aside.

Divide the bread dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll the first piece into a 10×4 inch rectangle. Spread 1/4 of the chicken mixture onto the lower third of the rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border along bottom edge. Stretch bottom edge of dough up over filling and press tightly to seal, then roll up as tightly as possible into a log. Cut the log into 1-inch pieces and place on a lined baking pan. Repeat with the remaining dough and chicken mixture. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake 7-10 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned and filling is heated through. Serve immediately.
