Chicken, Cheese and Rice Casserole
Submitted by: Me
This is a quick and easy dish that I made up by combining a few chicken casserole recipes I had on hand.  Note: If you are in a big hurry, use cooked chicken and minute rice.  Can be made ahead of time and refrigerated - just add the bread topping right before cooking.

Ingredients:
4  skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite size pieces
 salt, pepper, garlic salt and onion powder to taste
2 cups cooked white rice
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
¾ teaspoon minced garlic (refrigerated jar kind)
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
plain bread crumbs
¼ stick melted butter 

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. To Cook Chicken: Season chicken with salt, pepper,  garlic salt and onion powder to taste, place in a microwave-safe dish, cover and cook in microwave for 5 to 6 minutes. Turn and cook another 2 to 3 minutes or until cooked through and no longer pink inside. Let cool.
3. In a bowl, combine cut up chicken, rice, minced garlic and soup and mix well. Top with cheese, then with plain bread crumbs.  Pour melted butter over the top (more on the bread crumbs).
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and bread is crunchy.

1 Tablespoon butter or margarine
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 (8-ounce) packages sliced fresh mushrooms
1/3 cup slivered almonds
3 green onions, chopped
1 (10 ¾ ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
¾ cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons soy sauce
3 cups chopped cooked chicken
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 (3 ounce) can chow mein noodles (the hard crunchy ones)

Directions:
Melt butter in a large skillet.  Add red bell pepper, garlic, and mushrooms; sauté until tender. 
Stir in almonds and next 6 ingredients; pour into a lightly greased 11-x-7 inch baking dish.  Sprinkle with chow mein noodles.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until bubbly.

Lauren’s Chicken Nuggets
Submitted by: My version of Gourmet Magazine’s Ruthie’s Nuggets 

Ingredients:
1 stick margarine

2 tsp. minced garlic (the jar kind like we both use) 
1 cup plain bread crumbs

1 cup seasoned bread crumbs (I used garlic and herb)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 
4 boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

In a small saucepan melt butter with the garlic and let the mixture cool. In a shallow bowl or pie plate mix the bread crumbs with the Parmesan. Dip the chicken cubes first in the butter and then in the bread crumb mixture, making sure that each cube is coated well with crumbs (I dumped my chicken in the saucepan of butter/garlic, then dumped them in the bread crumb mixture - I didn't take the time to dip each individual nugget). Arrange the chicken in one layer on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 - 20 minutes or until the chicken is just cooked through. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
