Chicken tater tot casserole

This is an easy, tasty recipe given to me by my sister-in-law. It makes a lot and it's great as leftovers.

Ingredients:
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp. salt
32 oz. package of frozen tater tots
16 oz. package of frozen mixed vegetables
1 large chicken breast, cooked and shredded
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine soups, water and salt, mix well. In a greased 9x13 pan, layer a third of the soup mixture, half of the tater tots, half the veggies and half of the chicken. Repeat layers. Top with remaining soup mixture and sprinkle with cheese.

Cover with foil and bake 60-70 minutes. Uncover and bake 5-10 minutes until golden brown.

Chicken and Spinach Pasta Bake

This is one of our favorite recipes. The only downside is that it takes quite a while to prepare. But it's totally worth it, and to be honest, it's even better as a leftover.

Chicken and Spinach Pasta Bake
8 oz. uncooked rigatoni
1 TBS olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 (10 oz) pack frozen spinach, thawed
3 cups cubed, cooked chicken breasts
1 (14 oz) can Italian style diced tomatoes, drained
(I usually add half a can diced tomatoes as well and use the other half in spaghetti sauce later in the week. One can of tomatoes just doesn't seem enough)
1 (8 oz) container Philadelphia chive and onion cream cheese (softened)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Prepare rigatoni according to package directions. Saute onions in olive oil until tender. Drain chopped spinach well, pressing between paper towels. Stir rigatoni, spinach, chicken and next 4 ingredients together with onions. Spoon mixture into dish and sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese. Bake covered at 375 for 30 minutes, uncover and bake 15 more minutes or until bubbly.

Zucchini Casserole

I got this recipe from a girl that I used to work with. It frequents our table when people keep giving us their overabundance of zucchini from their garden. But it's so good that I've bought zucchini from the grocery store to make it. Super easy and seriously delish!

Zucchini Casserole
2 lbs. zucchini (I've used yellow squash too)
1 chicken breast cooked and shredded
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded carrots
1 pkg seasoned stuffing mix
1/2 cup butter
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Slice zucchini and cook in boiling, slightly salted water for about three minutes. Drain and put in mixing bowl. Mix cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Add zucchini along with onion, carrots and chicken. In separate bowl mix stuffing mix and melted butter. Spread half of the stuffing mix in the bottom of the baking dish. Add zucchini mixture then top with remaining stuffing mix. Bake at 350* for 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle cheese on top and bake an additional 5 minutes. 8 servings= 14.5 WW SP

Enjoy with a side of rice pilaf and a veggie (we prefer asparagus).
