It's Dinner Time!

Over the past month and a half that Matt and I have been married I have tried really hard to learn to cook. Some of my recipes have been disasters (like trying to make a breakfast casserole and forgetting the 9 eggs). However, some of them have been very good!

I wanted to share one recipe that I have seen pinned a thousand times on pinterest, but didn't know if anyone actually ever tried it. It is the Chicken Pot Pie Cups. This recipe is from Between 3 Sisters and is a fabulous one that was so easy to make!

I made some adaptations to the recipe because I didn't want to use some of the reduced fat ingredients. My mom has always taught me to use all the fat in cooking and save the calories somewhere else :)
Here are the ingredients for this delicious meal:

-1 can of  biscuits (10 count) 

- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can reduced-fat cream of chicken soup
- 2/3 cup shredded l cheddar cheese
- 1 cup of frozen mixed veggies (I used the $1.00 package from walmart!)
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
2. Separate biscuits and place each biscuit in a cup of a lightly greased 12-hole muffin pan, pressing dough up sides to edge of cup.
3. In a bowl, combine chicken, chicken soup, veggies, cheddar cheese, onion powder, parsley flakes, and black pepper.
4. Spoon chicken mixture into prepared biscuit cups.
5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Remove from oven. Place muffin pan on a wire rack and let set for 2-3 minutes. 

Some pointers I learned from this experience: 

-Use name brand, LARGE bisucits. I tried to use the cheapo biscuits and they turned out to be super tiny and didn't work for the first batch. This meant that Matt was making a mad dash for the Tom Thumb so we could finish dinner. What a great husband :) 

-I did use the reduced fat soup and the recipe still turned out wonderful!

-Their recipe said to use reduced fat cheese, but I just went with the regular and it was fabulous :) 

-Make sure the biscuits are pressed on the sides of the muffin pan so that the biscuits will cook up!

I really enjoyed making this recipe and found that Between 3 Sisters has some wonderful recipes on their blog! I hope you enjoy this fast and easy recipe :)
