I really wish I had thought to take pictures this week when I made this family favorite. That is something that I will have to remember to do, so I apologize for the lack of pictures on this post. LOL. So my husband and I have been trying to find ways to save money with three growing children, all around the same age, and two of them being boys. I have also been wasting a lot of food by planning meals all week but then forgetting about them or just being too tired to actually make them. So we came up with a solution and it worked great this week! Mothers you may want to follow suite with it. I will make a meal and we will eat it all that week (We always eat out on Wednesday nights and Fridays are family fun nights so that is usually frozen pizza; so it isn't really 7 days, more like 5). This worked so well this week! Two days ago I got sick and last night I had a mini anxiety attack about what to make for dinner since I was sick. It was awesome to remember that I didn't have to make anything but instead just had to reheat the casserole! So I am highly recommending this strategy mommies. What you will need (we are a family of 5): 6 chicken breast 1 container of chicken broth 8-10oz of cream 2-3 boxes of cream cheese 5 fresh jalapenos 16oz Mexican cheese salt and pepper to taste garlic powder to taste cayenne pepper to taste Preparation: 1. Place chicken breast, cream, chicken brother, salt and pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper into crock pot and let cook on low for the day 2. Once cooked remove chicken and shred it (I just pull it apart with two forks) 3. Layer chicken on bottom of casserole dish 4. Spread cream cheese over the top 5. Slice up jalapenos (if you want it really spicy leave the seeds in) 6. Sprinkle Mexican cheese over the top 7. Bake in oven at 350 degrees until cheese it bubbling (usually 40 minutes) This is a great recipe for reheating. If you know me you know I don't like any left overs that have meat in it, but this one I could reheat a million times and it just gets better each time! I hope you enjoy it.

Since I was a kid, chicken is my favorite food to eat. I was actually trying to find recipe for chicken, then I saw your blog and read the cream cheese word that makes my mouth water. I will definitely try this recipe for New years eve food. I'm sure my family will love your recipe because of the cheese and jalapeno. I will follow your blog for your future recipe posts.
