Parmesean Crusted Chicken w/ Cream Sauce

6 Ritz Crackers, finely crushed (I actually used one of the tubes that comes inside a box)

2 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese (I used more since I used more crackers)

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (I cut it to make them flat)

2/3 cup Chive and Onion Cream Cheese Spread (this is actually a small container)

1/2 cup chicken broth

Mix cracker crumbs and Parmesan cheese in bowl. Rinse chicken with cold water, shake off excess water. Dip chicken in some melted butter, and then in cracker mixture turning to coat. Place in greased baking dish and bake at 350 for about 35-45 minutes or until chicken is done.

For the sauce pour 1/4 (or if your doubling 1/2) cup chicken broth and cream cheese to skillet. Cook, stirring constantly. Simmer 3 minutes or until sauce thickens.

Note: This happens fast and if you let it go it gets thick and clumpy so as soon as it's all melted and slightly thick it's good to go. Serve sauce over chicken. Also, I like to double the sauce and serve with white rice.

6 Can Chicken Tortilla Soup

This is probably the easiest soup I have ever made, and it is so yummy! I love eating soup in the fall, it just feels right!
1 (15 oz.) can whole kernal corn- drained
2 (14.5 oz.) cans chicken broth
1 (10 oz.) can chunk chicken
1 (14.5 oz.) can black beans, drain and rinse
1 (10 oz.) can rotel, drained

Serve over tortilla chips and top with shredded cheese.

That is the recipe- but did a few things differently, and I loved it.
Instead of 2 cans of broth, I used 1 can broth and 1 can cream of chicken soup, to make it thicker.
I added about 1 tsp. of cumin, and minced garlic
Added salt, pepper, 2-3 green onions, lime
I wanted to add cilantro, but didn't have any, but next time...
While my soup was simmering, I used a pizza cutter to thinly slice a couple tortillas, and baked them for about 5 minutes at 350. We used these instead of the chips, and topped with cheese and sour cream. I was really skeptical about using the canned chicken, and almost cooked my own, but I couldn't tell the difference. So easy and so good!
