Comfort Food - Chicken Casserole

My dear Aunt Mary in Florida made this for us years ago...and it's ALWAYS a fan favorite when I make it. Super easy....super bad for you....but SUUUPPPPERRRR good :) Enjoy on a cold winter night :) It's also a great make ahead meal. AND -- you can sub in the lighter versions of the soup & sour cream...still tastes great! Double the recipe for a 9x13 dish.

8x8 baking dish
3 chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1 roll Ritz style crackers
2-3 Tbsp butter - melted

Boil chicken until done.. let cool & shred. Spray 8x8 dish with cooking spray & add chicken. Pour in can of soup & sour cream. Mix until all blended. Crush crackers in a bowl & stir in melted butter/mix up until crackers are moist. Spread cracker mixture over chicken mixture.
Bake @ 350 for 30 minutes or until all bubbly.
ENJOY!!!!!!!

Broiled Salmon & Tomatoes - EASY recipe!

Found this in a new cookbook I got from the Library... SUPER easy and turned out really good.
I served with Goya Yellow Rice mix..

4-6 oz Salmon Fillet
3-4 Tomatoes - halved
4 cloves garlic - sliced
4-6 sprigs fresh thyme
olive oil
kosher salt, pepper
paprika

Pre-heat Broiler

Lay salmon in baking dish & arrange tomatoes around fillet. Generously sprinkle paprika on salmon. Drizzle olive oil on salmon & tomaotes. Salt & pepper salmon & tomatoes. Add garlic slivers and thyme leaves over salmon & tomatoes. Broil for 8-10 minutes until salmon flakes with a fork.


the tomatoes were "just ok" i may not have seasoned them enough- but Salmon was tasty!!!...next time I may try with other veggies...asparaus would be real good.
