Cheesy Sour Cream Tacos

This is a quick fix dinner in my favorite invention (and the only way we avoid fast food on dance nights) the crockpot!


You'll need:

• Three boneless/skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 block of cream cheese (we use Neufchâtel, which has less fat)
• 1/3 c. sour cream
• 1 tablespoon margarine
• 1 can diced green chillies
• salt
• taco shells
• cheddar cheese
• sour cream for topping

Combine the chicken breasts (it is perfectly fine if they are still frozen), cream cheese, sour cream, margarine, diced green chillies, and salt  in your crockpot. Set on lowest setting, and go about your day.

When your ready to serve stir the chicken mixture (it should pretty much fall right apart),  warm your taco shells, and grate your cheddar cheese. Layer in your taco shell, top with sour cream, and dinner is served!

(This made enough for us to have dinner and then lunch for the adults the next day. Oh, and both of my kids ate without complaint, which is rare these days!)

Chicken Pillows

Here is a relatively quick and fun to make with the kids recipe. I'm pretty sure everyone has their own version of this, here is ours. And, if all else fails, just have fun playing with olives.

• 
• 1 rib of celery, diced
• 1/4 c. olives, diced
  
• 1/4 mushrooms, diced
  
• 1/2 onion, diced
  
• 1 chicken breast, diced
• 1/2 brick low-fat cream cheese
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Mix all ingredients and spoon onto crescent rolls and fold remaining dough over. To make this even unhealthier, we like to melt a little butter and mix in some garlic salt to brush over the tops before baking at 350 degrees about 10-15 minutes. (It all depends on how big you made these- you want them to be golden brown and not doughy.)

**This week I noticed that they had crescent sheets at Walmart which were very convenient for this. I just used my ravioli cutter to cut around and make nicely shaped pillows. With the "new" Walmart, who knows if they will still have them next week.**

And, the kids favorite part ***drumroll please*** THE SAUCE.

This is fancy, hold onto your pants.
