4-Ingredient Healthy Chicken Enchilada Casserole



With just four basic ingredients you can have a Healthy Chicken Enchilada Casserole ready to go in the oven — with only 5 minutes of prep time! Easy, nutritious, and family-friendly weeknight dinners don’t get any faster than this!

You guys know that I love a simple dinner that I can toss together with little-to-no prep time, right? Well I managed to tweak one of our family’s favorite casseroles to make it healthier AND faster — and best of all, every boy in the house loves it!

Take advantage of shortcuts by using rotisserie chicken meat that you pull or chop in advance, leftover grilled or roasted chicken from a previous meal, or even a bag of refrigerated or frozen cooked and sliced chicken (I like to keep the all-natural cooked frozen chicken strips from Costco in my freezer so that I always have some meat on hand for dishes like this). With your chicken already cooked and chopped, it’s really just a matter of layering your ingredients in your prepared dish and popping it in the oven. So simple!!!

And you know what? You can even make it in advance (nap time, weekend meal prep, whenever it suits YOUR schedule), and keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to cook it. Again, so simple!!

Easy Cheesy Pizza Breadsticks



Need a last minute snack for a Game Day? Easy Cheesy Pizza Breadsticks is crowd-pleasing appetizer recipe.

You’ll need only 5 simple ingredients and 5 minutes of active time to make them.

In case you need quick and easy appetizer for any party, these cheesy sticks are delicious. After all, these are pizza stuffed crescent dough, and who doesn’t like pizza or crescents?!

Since the Super Bowl is coming soon, you’ll need a lot of football snacks. These pizza dippers are really easy peasy stuff!!!

As long as you have a can of refrigerated crescent dough sheet or refrigerated crescent dinner rolls, pepperoni, cheese and pizza sauce in your fridge, you don’t have to worry about unexpected guests. You can make these Easy Cheesy Pizza Breadsticks in less than no time.

Unroll the crescent dough, spread some pizza sauce or ketchup, sprinkle shredded cheese and sliced pepperoni.Then fold the dough, seal the edges, sprinkle more shredded cheese and grated Parmesan( just to make them super cheesy), put it in the oven for 20 minutes, slice and serve.

I suggest you to serve these Easy Cheesy Pizza Breadsticks with a bowl of pizza sauce. These are really yummy dippers! Also it’s great to eat them while they’re hot and the cheese is still melting. They’re just delicious football appetizer to add to your table.

I’m not really a football person, baking is much more my sport. But with a husband who is a huge sport fan as a bunch of his friends, I simply have to plan a ton of food to feed the crowd.

All his friends like to come to our house and watch the big final. It’s simply because they know they can expect tasty food and snacks.

When you are a food blogger people just assume that you enjoy spending the whole time in the world preparing the food. But guess what?! Knowing that I will have to clean the house for hours after the guests leave, I do not like to be stuck in the kitchen whole day.

Therefore I’m usually planning fun party recipes with minimal ingredients and not a whole lot of time in the kitchen. My Ham and Cheese Rolls or Easy Chicken Taquitos are one of those recipes.

These delicious Easy Cheesy Pizza Breadsticks will be on my menu this year. I’m sure I’ll see many smiles across the room when I bring these to the table. No one will know that I use just a few ingredients to get these flavor packed breadsticks and that they couldn’t be more simple to prepare.

Let the games begin!

Chicken Parmesan Sliders

These chicken parmesan sliders are loaded with crispy chicken,marinara sauce,and plenty of cheese.it's an easy yet hearty meal that the whole family will enjoy,the perfect back to school dinner

I can hardly believe that it’s time to start thinking about going back to school. Our school starts in less than a month, and while we’ve had an amazing summer, I think my kids will be ready for a more regular routine! For the first time this year, my girls will be in all-day school which means our after school activities will be pushed to later in the afternoon or the evening. I’m going to need plenty of quick and easy dinner options for busy weeknights and these chicken parmesan sliders will most definitely be on our table!

When I’m shopping for ingredients for quick, easy and affordable meals, I head over to Dollar General. I picked up a bag of Tyson® Crispy Chicken Strips in the Dollar General freezer section, they are SO convenient to have on hand for easy meals.

These chicken parmesan sliders start with rolls. I use white pull-apart style dinner rolls. The rolls are layered with shredded mozzarella cheese, cooked Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips, marinara sauce, more cheese (mozzarella and parmesan), and then brushed with herb butter and baked to perfection.

I typically shred my own mozzarella and parmesan cheese for this recipe, but if you’re really pressed for time, grab a bag of any type of Italian-style shredded cheese to make dinner prep go even faster.

What I love most about these chicken parmesan sliders is that they’re such a hearty meal with plenty of protein. Add a side salad and you’ve got a complete dinner!

Dollar General is a fabulous place to go for back to school dinner essentials. They carry all sorts of great products from both Tyson® and Jimmy Dean that are perfect for easy breakfast options, speedy lunches and after school snacks.
