Buffalo Chicken Wraps

I threw this recipe together one night. We had extra chicken and this is pretty easy!
You'll need: about 1/2 pound chicken (I used breast), about 3 tablespoon butter, fresh garlic, your favorite hot sauce, tortillas, cheese, lettuce and whatever toppings you enjoy!

I cut up the chicken into smaller chunks and put it in a heated, oiled pan. Cut your butter and start melting it in a sauce pan for the buffalo sauce. Prep your garlic.


Mince or use a garlic press to smash the garlic. Place this in the melted butter. Let the garlic saute a few minutes. Add hot sauce to the butter/garlic. I added quite a bit. Just add some, and taste. If you need to add more, keep tasting =). By the way, we love Texas Pete hot sauce! It is super cheap and awesomely good!


When the chicken is done cooking, shred it in the pan and keep on low to keep warm. When the buffalo sauce is where you like it, add to the chicken. Heat on low for a couple minutes. Enjoy in tortillas with lettuce, cheese, ranch, and anything else you have around! =)


Cheesy Chicken Simmer

This recipe actually came from Kraft Recipes. It was too delicious not to share!
You will need: a little bit of oil, 2 chicken breasts (1lb), 8-10oz velvetta cheese, 10-12 oz frozen broccoli, 1 can cream of chicken soup, and 2 cups cooked white rice.

Start with your oil and heat it in the pan. Start cooking your chicken breasts on medium to medium-high. While these cook, poke several holes in the broccoli bag. Place on a plate, microwave for 5 minutes.


Flip the broccoli, and cook another 4 minutes. Flip the chicken also. I actually cit the breasts in half horizontally, they were just so thick! Let the broccoli sit for 3 minutes and then cut it in the bag.


Cut the velvetta into cubes and place in a pan (I used the same pan as the chicken) and add the cream of chicken soup, WITH NO WATER. Mix and let simmer for on medium for 5 minutes. Add the broccoli and simmer another 2. 

Serve with the chicken over cooked white rice. Mmm. Also, the cheesy broccoli mixture and the rice alone made DELICIOUS leftovers! <3 I want to try this again with broccoli and cauliflower!
