Try it..You’ll LOVE it!

I just came home after a long day of cooking. I was helping a friend who had recently had a baby get meals put together and in the freezer for later. We had pans of food cooking, simmering, and boiling. I chopped, cut, and assembled. In the end we had several meals that she will only need to pop in the oven and BAM. Dinner!

I wish I had thought to take this recipe along. Being able to cook up enough chicken for several meals and do all the chopping at once really saves time later on!
I usually don’t think to make something with bacon and ranch dressing mix, but I am totally going to have to try this. I think my family will love it and I think yours will too.

Here is what Chungah of Damn Delicious has to say about her innovative chicken recipe

Creamy, cheesy and comforting! Loaded with Ranch chicken, homemade alfredo sauce and bacon. Can be made ahead of time!But let’s be real here. The bacon is always a must, am I right?

Quick Tip: If you want to make this a bit faster, go ahead and buy a rotisserie chicken. No judgement here. I use Costco Rotisserie chicken all the time in my recipes.

Rolling up these noodles is a whole new twist to this favorite dish.

I have basically made the same lasagna recipe for years. I don’t even need to follow directions because I really never had any. I just watched my mom growing up as she layered the noodles, cheese, meat and sauce.

It was such an amazing aroma as the cheese began to melt and the tomato sauce cooked together with the onion, garlic, and Italian spices. Yummo!

When I saw these rolled up lasagna noodles I thought it seemed a bit odd. It reminded me of driving through farm country where instead of rectangle cubes of alfalfa there were huge round bales. But the more I though about it the more I realized it is a brilliant serving size idea.

Face it, lasagna isn’t always the prettiest thing after it is served onto a plate. Plating these for a larger crowd is super easy and a nice twist on an old favorite.

And this uses chicken. For those who lean more toward poultry instead of beef, it is nice to have recipes that appeal to the masses!

Here is what the cooks at Kraft Foods have to say about their brilliantly simple recipe.

Prepare to amaze with Spicy Chicken Lasagna Roll-Ups, a new twist on delicious lasagna.

Quick tip: If you are making another chicken dish, go ahead and make a little extra chicken and shred 3 cups. Put into a freezer bag and have this ready for a meal down the road. So quick to put together when the ingredients are pre-prepped!

I used to joke that dinner time was the worst hour of the day. Something always happens.

When we had all six kids at home I really had to have a good system to make sure dinner time was not a high “Code Red” stress time. No matter when I started dinner, it seemed that was the kick off to someone dropping something down the toilet, the dog running in with muddy paws, kids crying because someone breathed on them or sat on their side of the couch. You name it, we have all been there

No matter when I started dinner, it seemed that was the kick off to someone dropping something down the toilet, the dog running in with muddy paws, kids crying because someone breathed on them or sat on their side of the couch.

You name it, we have all been there, and chances are we have been there a lot!

One of the things that really saved my sanity was to focus on how I could make the dinner hour something we lived through, seriously, dinner happens every night so it shouldn’t be a shock.

The number one thing I started doing that made a huge difference? Planning ahead.

This is what Crystal Paine of Money Saving Mom has to say about this recipe and how she even utilizes limited freezer space.

Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole is delicious, filling, frugal, and so freezer-friendly! If you freeze the bags flat, you can store them on their side like filing folders to fit a lot in a small freezer.

Quick Tip: If you are running short on time, feel free to pick up an already roasted chicken at Costco or your favorite store. Sometimes it is just one less thing to worry about!
