White Chicken Chili

It's national soup month and we sure have had our share of yummy soups lately! I try to add new soups to my recipe box but this white chicken chili is a super favorite around here! I love that I can adjust how spicy it is and the creaminess of the broth. Try this chili and it will be one of your favorite soups, too! I promise!

White Chicken Chili
1 1/2 pounds cubed chicken breast
1/2 cup chopped onion

Chicken Alfredo Pizza

We LOVE pizza at my house. We love it so much that we have Friday Night Pizza Nights just about every Friday. I try new recipes or stick to our old favorite traditional recipe. Whatever we choose, it is great to have the good eats and the family time. Here is a recipe inspired by an Italian favorite, a classic alfredo. With chicken and a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, it is sure to be one of your family favorites, too!

Chicken Alfredo Pizza
2 chicken breasts
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper
2-3 TBSP olive oil
alfredo sauce
mozzarella cheese
cheddar cheese
optional toppings (roasted red pepper, broccoli)
pizza crust (you can find my recipe here)

Heat the olive oil in a pan. Meanwhile, chop the chicken breasts up into small chunks and add them to the pan. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Cook until chicken is cooked completely through.

Spread some alfredo sauce on a pizza crust. You may use however much you prefer! I use about half the jar.

Spread the cooked chicken and other toppings of your choice around on top of the sauce.

Cover with mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.

Bake at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes or until it is starting to brown. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. (If you can wait. I tell you, the smell is absolutely wonderful. It's hard to wait!)

You really can't go wrong with this delicious pizza. You can always simplify it even more by buying a premade crust and precooked chicken. If you like alfredo, you are sure to like this twist on pizza!

Bacon Wrapped Chicken

My husband will eat anything as long it has bacon (well, almost anything!). I really like chicken but I don't cook with it often because of my bountiful supply of beef and pork. I came up with this recipe after eating something similar at a conference once. I thought it would be a great addition to my collection of dinners since it includes chicken and bacon. It is one of our favorite dishes to eat now!

Bacon Wrapped Chicken
3-4 chicken breasts
9-12 slices bacon
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
salt and pepper, to taste
chopped onion, to taste
1 small can mushrooms, drained


Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees and greasing a casserole dish. Then wrap each chicken breast in 3-4 strips of bacon. Secure with a toothpick. Place wrapped chicken breasts in the casserole dish. For extra bacon, you can lay strips of bacon in the bottom of the dish and then put the wrapped chicken on top.

Put the canned mushrooms on top. I use canned because that is what I usually have in the cupboard, but I am sure you could substitute fresh if you want.

Stir the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, salt, pepper, and onion together in a small bowl to make the sauce.

Smother the wrapped chicken breasts with the sauce mixture.

Bake, covered, at 350 degrees for about an hour. While this cooks, I make the rice to go with it.

Cool slightly to let the sauce thicken a bit. Serve over rice. The rice is especially good with the sauce on it!

Happy cooking! Linking up to Hunk of Meat Monday with Beyer Beware!
