I'm going to be a giving, loving person and share a few secrets with you.  Calm down!  It's not that big of a deal.  But to me, it is.  For those of us who are working moms, I've learned a trick or two.  It's nothing new just something I've put into practice trying to make my life a little easier.

What's my secret?  My secret is roasted bone-in chicken breast.  Why is this just a big deal?  It's a big deal because by roasting anywhere between 3 and 5 breasts....... I'm able to make several meals.  Don't know about you but I'm all for making life simple.

My top three...... Homemade Chicken Salad, Buffalo Chicken Dip, and Chicken w/ Crescent Rolls

My homemade chicken salad recipe could not be any more simple.  It consists of cubed chicken, halved red grapes, chopped pecans, a little mayonnaise, a touch of M.iracle Whip, dash of salt & pepper.  I'm not a huge fan of mayo or M.iracle Whip.  I add just enough for a little flavor and more so for a binding agent.  Delicious!!

The Buffalo Chicken Dip....... not sure where this came from.  I got it from my SIL.  It is YUMMY!!  You've got to try it.  But, a warning...... it's got kick!
- 1 8oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup Franks Red Hot Sauce
- 1/2 cup Mozzarella, shredded
- 2 cans of Chunk Chicken Breast (I use my own of course!  I will not pay $4/can for chicken.) I used 1.5 cups of cubed chicken
- celery or scoops for dipping
- Combine in crock pot.  Heat til warm.  ENJOY!

Chicken with Crescent Rolls
- Cooked cubed chicken.
- Take a crescent roll (the kind from the can) and put a scoop of cubed chicken in it; roll it up.
- In a separate pot, mix 1 cup of milk, 1 can Cream of Chicken, and 1 cup of cheese.
- Place rolled up crescent rolls in a sprayed Pyrex dish (8x11).  Pour the soup mixture on top and cook at 350 until the rolls puff up and get a little brown on top. ENJOY!

I also have a great Chicken Pot Pie recipe.  I'll share that at a later date.  Give these a try.  I promise you won't regret it!!
