Hurry Up Chicken Pot Pie

We are headed to dance nationals this weekend, but I wanted to share some recipes before we took off. Hope you enjoy them!!

I can't tell you how many times I have needed a really fast meal. This is delicious and so easy and quick! I served this with pineapple chunks.

2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast, Or 3 cans canned chicken breast
1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots
1/2 cup frozen green peas
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can cream of chicken soup
1 cup chicken broth(if you use canned chicken, I just use the broth from 2 of the cans)
Salt and pepper
Thyme and Sage
minced onion
1 1/2 cups Bisquick
1 cup milk
1 stick melted butter.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a greased 2 quart casserole, layer the chicken, carrots and peas. Mix the soup and chicken broth. Pour over the layers. Sprinkle some minced onion and seasonings on top. Stir together the Bisquick and milk and pour over top of the casserole. Drizzle butter over the topping. Bake until the topping is golden brown, about 45 minutes.

Best Ever No Bake Cookies

These are the best no bake cookies I have ever had. They are Brad's favorite too. We love the texture. This recipe comes from my mother in law.
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups quick cooking oats
In large heavy saucepan mix and bring to boil sugar, cocoa, milk and butter, stirring occassionally. Boil 1 1/2 minutes exactly. Remove from heat and add vanilla, peanut butter and oats. Mix well. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls on waxed paper. Cool a few hours or until firm.

Batter Bread

Talk about comfort food! This is one of my favorites. This bread is crusty on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. It is really delicious and easy to make. It's the best warm with butter. Makes 2 loaves.

3/4 cups warm milk
1 Tbsp. yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1/3 cup butter-softened
3 Tbsp. sugar
2 eggs
3 cups flour
1 heaping tsp. salt
Mix ingredients in order(makes a gooy batter. I use my hands towards the end). Raise in bowl 1 hour. Drop into two greased loaf pans.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.
