Don’t you LOVE being able to have something you can pack up and not need a fork?

Okay, I am sure that some people will want to use a fork. They are most likely the ones who use a fork to eat pizza. Really? I mean that just seems WRONG!

This taco braid is almost like a large hot pocket of chicken, spicy, yumminess. If you are having a large crowd over, why not make two braids!  If you are lucky you can take the left overs for lunch the next day.

Now that school is about to start I am already thinking about my Game Day line-ups for dinner time. Eating at high school events can really be expensive so I have always packed dinners to eat in the stands.

And when you have a kid who just played their heart out, they can’t wait to get home to eat, so I always pack one for our athlete as well.

Making chicken ahead so this goes together as fast as you can yell, Off Sides, is a huge benefit, so if you see chicken on sale, go ahead and get a few extra pounds to cook up and shred. when it is time to put one of these together you will be glad you did!  Cook once, eat twice!

This is what Kat and Melinda of Home Made Interest has to say about this Game Day Hit!

This Chicken Taco Braid recipe is just the right amount of cheesy, spicy, taco goodness wrapped up in a flaky, puff pastry.

Quick Tip: If you know you are going to make this when you have a big crowd coming over, or if you just want something yummy and a bit different, then go a head and make up the filling the day before.

The foundation of this dish is unbelievable, as in unbelievably easy….unbelievably delicious!

I probably sound like a broken record. If you are too young to know what that is, they are like CDs only really big and if you leave them in direct sun that can get a little melted.

Sorry, I guess that it a bit off topic – SQUIRREL!

But the point I am making is cooking more than you need in order to use it later. For example, this is a great recipe to double, then cut up the chicken and make chicken enchiladas for later in the week or for a few weeks down the road. If you are limited on freezer space, go ahead and cube up chicken and put into quart sized zip lock bag to use later.

Everything you can do ahead will save you time, energy and even financially later so try to think ahead. Cook Once, east twice isn’t just a nice sentiment, it is a lifestyle.

This is what Kimber from The Pinning Mama has to say about her creative dish.

I will admit that I eat nachos far more than I probably should.  I do try to pack them full of healthy extras to justify it, like corn, black beans, avocado, fresh cilantro, and tomatoes.  Doesn’t that sounds delicious?  So why stop there?  I mean the nachos are good because of all the stuff topping them, so why not take all that good stuff and bake it with some tender, juicy chicken breast? BINGO!  The Queso Chicken Bake was born!
