Bacon Cheeseburger Chicken


Ingredients:
2 T. EVOO
2 T. butter
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (i used 4)
1/4 c teriyaki sauce
1/2 c ranch dressing
1 c cheddar cheese
1/2 lb bacon cooked and chopped (homemade bacon bits)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. In a large skillet heat oil and butter over med-high heat. Pound chicken if it's too thick (the ones in the pic are too thick!) Add chicken breasts, and cook 4 to 5 min each side until lightly browned. Place chicken in a 9x13 pan. Cover with teriyaki sauce and ranch dressing. Top with cheese and bacon bits. Bake for 30 min or until chicken is cooked all the way through.


**I served this chicken with mashed potatoes with the left over bacon, cheese, green onions and sour cream mixed in. Is also great with a side salad or baked potato.

EASY Crockpot Chicken & Gravy

This is a really EASY and delicious meal. You serve it over rice or potatoes, we prefer rice. I know it only has 2 ingredients and doesn't sound like much but, you'll be pleasantly surprised! It's VERY good. My mom has been making it for years and I always get a thumbs up when I make it for my fam and others. It's a really inexpensive meal too!

(PICTURE COMING SHORTLY)

Ingredients:
~chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless- there's less "work" with boneless)
~cream o' mushroom soup (about 1 small can for 4 or 5 thighs, can't really go wrong!)

Directions:
In a crockpot, place chicken thighs on bottom and top with soup. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-6, until the meat is completely falling off of the bone. YUM! Serve over rice or potatoes (we prefer brown rice). If you used bone-in thighs, pull the bones out before serving.
