Chicken Spaghetti
2 cans cream of chicken soup (can also use 1 can cream of mushroom, but dont care for mushrooms)

Cook spaghetti noodles (1 lb). Place chicken, cream of chicken, cooked spaghetti, Velveeta, and butter in crockpot. Cook on high for 5-6 hrs. Be sure to stir often. If the noodles seem like they are sticking, you can add more butter.

Olive Garden Alfredo Pasta
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
pinch salt
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 12-ounce box fettuccine pasta
(or your choice of pasta)
1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium/low heat.
2. Add the garlic, cream, pepper and salt, and bring mixture to a simmer. Turn the heat down if the mixture reaches a rapid boil or it could boil over. You just want a simmer. Add the cheese, and continue to simmer sauce for 8 minutes or until thick.
3. While sauce cooks, bring 4 to 6 quarts of water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook pasta for about 12 minutes or until done, then drain it.
4. Spoon pasta onto serving plates with Alfredo sauce poured over the top. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com)
Makes 2 to 3 large servings.

Chicken Enchilada Casserole
- 6 cups diced or shredded chicken, cooked and lightly seasoned. (I bake several boneless chicken breasts with olive oil, salt & pepper, then dice them up. Or, if I’m especially lazy, I just pick up a fully cooked rotisserie chicken from the store and shred it.)
- 16 oz. sour cream
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup
- 3/4 lb each cheddar cheese and Monterrey jack cheeses
- 1 can green chilies
- 1 pkg tortillas (I use whole-wheat)
- Mix sour cream, soup, and 2/3 of cheese together in a large bowl. Set aside 1 cup of the mixture.
- Add chicken to the mixture and stir well.
- Layer the bottom of a lightly greased casserole dish with tortillas. Add a layer of mixture. Add another layer of tortillas. (You can also put a little of the mixture inside a tortilla, wrap it up, and line several of these in the bottom of the dish, side by side. This is more enchilada-like, but takes longer and doesn’t change the taste at all.)
- Top with the 1 cup of chicken-less mixture you set aside earlier.
- Layer with chilies on top.
- Add the leftover 1/3 of cheese.
- (refrigerate overnight if you have time)
- Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.
Very easy. Very good. This was stolen from our good friends who made it for us one night for dinner. This is sooo good! I knew I couldnt lose it so I had to repost it.

1/2 cup warm water

TGIFridays Jack Daniels Chicken
2/3 c water
1 c pineapple juice
1/4 c teriyaki sauce
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 1/3 c dark brown sugar
3 tbsp. lemon juice
3 tbsp. minced white onion
1 tbsp. Jack Daniels whiskey
1 tbsp. crushed pineapple
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 bag of Tyson crispy chicken tenders (any type of chicken will work but I have found this has worked the best)
Cook whole bag of Tyson tenders in the oven and make sure they are fully cooked. Cut up into very small pieces for best flavor.
Mix all ingredients together and then place the cooked chicken tenders cut up into pieces in the sauce. Cook on low to medium heat for an hour.
~~~~~~~~~~
This is a very different recipe and has some weird additions and you wouldnt think some of the stuff tasted that great together but its awesome! Also I usually double the sauce so that the chicken will have plenty to cook in and you can always freeze the sauce and use it with grilled chicken or such too, delicious flavor!
