This week’s Works-for-Me Wednesday is all about 5-ingredient-or-less recipes. This is a good one! I am going to be checking out links all week.
One of my favorite recipes is Chicken Pot Pie. It can be as simple or complex as you like.
Simple Chicken Pot Pie
Refrigerated pie crust
Frozen mixed veggies, thawed
Diced (leftover) cooked chicken
Jar of chicken gravy
Press pie crust into pie plate. Fill with chicken and thawed veggies. Top with gravy. Bake according to crust directions until crust is browned and filling is bubbly.
I did not give amounts for filling ingredients because I have found that people’s preferences vary. I use more veggies. Some people like more gravy or more chicken. Just don’t over-fill the crust.
If you like less crust, do not line the pie plate with the bottom crust, only use the top crust. You can also use biscuits as a topping instead of pie crust.
For a more complex recipe, you can make your own crust, make your own gravy, or even make the whole thing from scratch beginning with raw chicken.
Another easy recipe I enjoy is baked ziti.
Easy Baked Ziti
1 box ziti
1 package Italian sausage
1 jar spaghetti sauce
Shredded mozzarella
Cook ziti according to package directions. Meanwhile, cut sausage into bite-sized pieces and cook until done. Drain ziti and combine with sausage and sauce in a casserole dish. Top with mozzarella, to taste, and bake at 350-degrees until cheese is melted and begins to brown.
