Chicken Dump Alfredo Recipie

This morning went well. I used up the last of the pancake mix (thankfully doesn't call for milk) and managed to squeeze 2 1/2 (big) waffles out of it. One the girls split for breakfast and I had a 1/2. I saved the other one for tomorrow's breakfast for the girls. No need to be in the dumps about this.

Apple juice. Waffles. Oatmeal.

Snack- I packed big girl some of the grapes and some craisins. Also one of the chip bags. It's a lot, but she has a big day. She will bring home left-overs, likely.

Lunch- hot dogs, most likely.

Dinner- This is crock pot Chicken Dump Alfredo:

Chicken strips (these were on top) went in this morning. At noon, I'll add
At noon:
Chopped sauted celery
onion
broccoli leftovers from fridge
broth (I'm going to have to use bullion and water as I'm out of actual broth)
At three:
Ragu Alfredo sauce (this was a freebie)

You can dump this all at once, but just leave out the spaghetti and microwave and mix just before serving. Otherwise the noodles will disappear from overcooking and break down.

Forget to put it in? Throw the whole mess in your pressure cooker for 20 - 25 minutes.

We followed these up with these for a little "eat your dinner" motivation. Honest, the chicken is very good-- it just deosn't pass the no foods touching test.

Menu Plan Monday chicken dump recipes!

When chicken is cheap, I stock up! Well, apparently I've been finding a lot of chicken deals, because my freezer is overrun by frozen chicken!

So this week I'm doing a lot of "chicken dump" recipes. That means you dump all the ingredients in your Crockpot and forget about them... a favorite of mine. Dinner's already cooking for tonight.

Monday - Dump Chicken Parmesan (recipe to follow)

Tuesday - Planet Hollywood Cap'n Crunch Chicken fingers with mustard dipping sauce. (recipe follows)

Wednesday - Fundraiser night for swim team

Thursday - Sloppy Joe Leftovers

Friday - King ranch casserole

Saturday- Leftover Chicken Parmesan from Monday

Sunday - Chicken enchiladas (recipe)

Dump Chicken Paremesean - This makes a chicken and dumpling tasting meal...

In crockpot on low until dinner time (start before work) - 1- 1.5 pounds of chicken cut up. I'm using tenders because they were on top. Pieces (including those with bones) or breasts would work equally as well.

Add one package of noodle roni paremesan. (I got ours free with double coupons!) Hold the noodles for now. Add the water and milk called for on the package. Omit the oil, if any.

Add one package of chopped veggies that have been "extra" chopped using a hand chopper. (This helps them blend with the noodles.) Tonight I'm using broccoli, but other great choices are three veggies mixes and (yum!) Italian mix.

Two hours before serving, add the noodles.

That's it!
