Green Chile Pork

(From Jen)

2-3 lbs Pork sirloin tip roast
1 cup Salsa verde (green salsa)
1 TBSP Garlic, minced
1 cup Water

Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on high 6-8 hours or on low 10-12 hours until meat falls apart easily. Remove meat, shred and serve in flatbread, tortillas, or tacos. For those who want extra spicy meat, strain the cooking liquid remaining in the slow cooker so you are left with a broth that you can drizzle over the meat.

Cranberry chicken

Chicken breasts
8oz Catalina dressing
1pkg dry onion soup mix
1can cranberries

Creamy boccoli-chicken soup

1.5 cups small broccoli flowerets
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp pepper
3 cups milk
1 cup half-and half
1 tbls Worcestershire sauce
1/5 tsp instant chicken bouillon granules
1/5 cups chopped cooked chicken

Chicken Fettuccine

2 Sticks Salted Butter
1 pint half and half
5 cloves garlic
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Parmesan Cheese
Chicken pieces (new chicken from last time, look below)
Penne noodles

Melt butter add garlic, half and half and 1/2 cheese. Warm through and then add nutmeg, once nutmeg is dissolved add your chicken. Keep on low/medium don't let boil or stick to pan it will burn! I stir continuously! Boil noodles while sauce is heating, drain noodles and pour sauce over noodles put back on burner on low, mix all together and the other 1/2 of cheese and let sit for just a few minutes. It will be a little liquidy but after a few minutes it will come together! Enjoy!

From frozen state: Put Chicken on a plate and warm in microwave or in toaster oven then put in your sauce! It is fully cooked chicken just needs to be warmed and cut up to be put in sauce. You can thaw sauce or do from a partially frozen state(that is how I did it!) Melt all the sauce package ingredients together, stirring constantly. (Boil your noodles at the same time.) Once sauce is melted add 3/4 the cheese package, save rest for later, melt through and then add chicken. Heat till chicken is warm and sauce is warm. Once noodles are done add the two together and the other 1/4 of cheese and put back on burner on low for a few minutes as it all comes together! Enjoy!
