30 Day Photo Challenge: Day 12

Day 12: A picture of one of my favorite foods

the first dish of "Chicken Stuff" I made as a newlywed

I'm one of those people who has many different "favorite" foods. I can't choose one specific favorite dish - it just depends what mood I'm in each day. So, for this post, I just picked the first food that popped in my head, and I knew I already had a picture of it from my "First Year of Marriage" photo album. One of both my and Jordan's favorite foods that I make is chicken casserole (technically it's poppy seed chicken, but without the poppy seeds (because I don't have any). We lovingly refer to it as "Chicken Stuff". Jordan is always begging me to make it (in fact, I just made it for dinner last night), and I'm usually happy to oblige, because it sure is yummy. The more I make it, the faster and easier it gets. Here's the recipe I use:

"Chicken Stuff"

Ingredients:

- 4 to 6 (depending on the size) cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 2 cans cream of chicken soup

- 8oz. sour cream OR 1 10oz. tub Original Flavor Kraft Philadelphia Cooking Creme (I prefer to use the Cooking Creme when I have it.)

- 2 sleeves of Ritz crackers, crushed

- 2 sticks butter

Preparation Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut cooked chicken breasts into bite-size pieces. 
- Mix both cans of cream of chicken soup with sour cream OR Kraft Cooking Creme.
