No Bake Cookies

I always have a hard time with different recipes for this, but this one is perfect! I usually can't get them to set very well, but these set up perfectly!! Just make sure to follow the directions carefully!


1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup milk
3 Tablespoons cocoa
3 cups quick cooking oats
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Bring butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa to a boil for one minute. To make sure cookies set up properly wait until mixture comes to a complete FULL boil and then start the timer for one minute. Remove from heat.

Add peanut butter, vanilla, and oats. Stir well and drop spoonfuls onto waxed paper or parchment paper. Let them set up and cool.

Makes 18 cookies.

Cheesy Mexican Chicken

Prep time: 15 mins

Total time: 55 mins

Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients:

-6 sm. Boneless skinless chicken breast havles

-1 can cream of chicken soup

-1 & 1/2 C. cheddar cheese

-1/2 C. milk

-1 pkg. taco seasoning mix

-2 C. Fritos corn chips

-4 & 1/2 C. cooked rice

Directions:

-Preheat oven to 375°F. Place chicken in 13x9-inch baking dish.

-Mix soup, 1 cup of the cheese, milk, and seasoning mix until well blended; spoon over chicken. Top with chips; cover.

-Bake 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake, uncovered, an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

-Serve over rice.

A few things I did differently:

-Used chicken tenderloins because that is what I had on hand.

-Added a 1/2 C. salsa to the mixture before pouring it over chicken.

-Served it over Mexican rice instead of white rice. 

-Topped it with a little lettuce, tomato, and sour cream; delish!
