Chicken burger melts: More adventures in dinner

One meal that never disappoints at our house is chicken burgers, sounds weird right? It's not totally strange. Its another childhood meal, that I have modified a little from my mom's recipe. But it's easy to throw together and there are almost no dishes to load or wash after.

Here goes... you need:

1 can of of shredded canned chicken 12.5 oz drained (or cooked and shredded yourself, this was just easier)
1 cup of shredded cheese, I used colby jack
2 stalks of celery finely chopped
about 1/2 cup of light mayo (You can use more depending on how creamy you want it)
 1 package of 8 hamburger buns
foil cut into sheets large enough to wrap the individual buns

First preheat oven to 375.
Next,  mix all of the ingredients together in medium sized bowl.
Split the buns and spread on the chicken mixture.
Wrap the buns in foil and arrange on a cookie sheet.
Cook for 10-15 minutes.

Then unwrap and enjoy the melty, gooey goodness! We eat ours with chips or fries, I guess you could throw together a salad if you are into that.

Cheesy chicken baked chimichangas

I love cheese and chicken and tortillas and I put them together, frequently. Here is another pinterest recipe that I modified for delicious cheesy chimichanga:

I should have taken a prettier picture!

So here's what you will need:

1lb of chicken breast (I boiled mine and then shredded it in the kitchen aid)

1 8 oz brick of cream cheese (I used 1/3 fat)

1 bag (2 cups) of pepper jack or some kind of spicy cheese

1 packet of taco seasoning

8-10 flour tortillas

cooking spray

Pre heat oven to 350

1. combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese and taco seasoning in a mixer.

2. Whip it all up until combined well.

3. Then divide it out among the tortillas.

4. Fold tortillas up like an envelope.

5. Spray with cooking spray and sear(?)  in a hot skillet for a minute or two. Then flip and brown the other side a little.

6. Place in a lined dish and bake for about 15 minutes. Then flip them and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

7. Serve with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, etc.  I also made some re fried beans and Spanish rice to go along with ours to make it a real meal.
