30 Day Cooking Challege

I have decided to start a challenge to improve myself as a wife and mother-to-be. I am going to learn to cook 30 new meals this month and share my experiences with all of you! My sister Heather made a Meal chart for the month of March and I copied it with only a few minor changes. Thanks Heather! I'm so excited to get into the groove of cooking! We have also started $20 date nights which we go on every Friday night, so with Friday's as an exception I will be cooking every evening :)


Day 1 Chicken Pillows:Brought to you by Heather Hall, Cooked for you by Brittany Kenner

I found this to be a fairly simple, very easy recipe (very comforting for the first day!)

Ingredients:

3 cans croissant rolls ($4.50)

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts ($3.00)

1 package cream cheese ($1.50)

1/2 a stick melted butter (.50)

3 slices bread made into bread crumbs ($1.00)


T0tal Price for meal: $10.50 and serves 12!!!

Just Follow these 10 easy steps!

Step 1: Boil your two chicken breast until insides are no longer pink.
Step 2: Shred chicken breast in medium size bowl.
Step 3: Melt cream cheese at 30 second intervals and add to chicken.
Step 4: Mix cream cheese and shredded chicken until a creamy filling is made.
Step 5: Lay out croissant rolls so two are sticking together making a rectangle.
Step 6: Add filling to the center of the croissant rectangle and fold towards center, making a little pillow. Crease side with your fingers.
Step 7: Place pillows on non- greased baking sheet
Step 8: Spread melted butter over each Chicken pillow and sprinkle bread crumbs over the top.
Step 9: Bake Chicken pillows at 350* for 10-15 minutes (depending on your oven, mine cooks almost too fast!)
Step 10: Serve with rice and vegetable (or no vegetable) of your choice :)
