These are the recipes I use every day . . . not just my own, but also my favorites from family, friends, and other sources. It is a continual work in progress as I fine-tune recipes, add photos, and try new things. Please leave your comments so that I can learn from you too!

Chicken Ruffle Casserole

Definitely another family favorite.  Great for using up leftovers, especially those annoying little tiny potato chips at the bottom of the bag that nobody ever wants.  

I thought I had lost this recipe and I was FREAKING out trying to find it.  Luckily, I had emailed it to my mom at one point about 4 years ago and it came up on a search there.  Phew!  Glad to have it "set in stone" on this recipe blog now.

Serve with a nice big green salad for a weeknight dinner.

3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and diced
2 cans cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 cup chopped celery
1 medium onion, chopped (or 1/2 bunch green onions, diced)
1/2 cup slivered almonds
3/4 cup instant rice
1/2 cup Miracle Whip
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups crushed Ruffles (wavy potato chips)

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Mix all ingredients (except Ruffles) and press into a 13" x 9" baking dish.  Sprinkle Ruffles over the top.  Bake for 15-30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

(A little shredded cheese over the top in the last 5 minutes of baking never hurts either!)

Enjoy!
