As grilling season come to an end, don’t think you have to pack up this recipe as you pack up your flipper and tongs. This would be awesome roasted and broiled as well.

Nesting – Casserole Mania
Nesting, pleaseeee…who said I was nesting!?
ok…judging by the stack of casseroles now in my freezer, I would say I had a little “food nesting” the other weekend.
I just decided it would be nice to designate a few hours one Sunday to preparing 4 wholesome, healthy casseroles that would be easy for J and I to bake up after the baby arrives (any day now).
After preparing them, I thought to myself…why not do this more often (Super Sized Sundays as I like to call them)…make your master list, head to store, cook up a storm, make one giant mess, package up, clean up, freeze, and viola….you have great meals for the month to come! This is great for those that have on the go schedules.

BBQ Chicken Casserole – recipe to come
Chicken & Biscuit Pot Pie – recipe below
recipe from Ellie Krieger (dietitian) on Food Network
watch a video of the chicken pot pie preparation here
Ingredients
For the filling:
Cooking spray
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups lowfat milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup peas, thawed if frozen
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
For the biscuit crust:
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup lowfat buttermilk
Instructions:
To make the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a large shallow casserole dish, or 6 individual casserole dishes with cooking spray.
Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the chicken with its juices to a bowl. .
Add 2 more teaspoons of oil to the same pan and heat it over a medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots and celery and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the green beans, garlic and remaining salt and pepper and cook for 2 minute more. Add the milk. Stir the flour into the broth until it is completely dissolved and add to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 2 minutes more. Return the chicken with its juices back to the pan. Add the peas and thyme and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the mixture into the baking dish or individual dishes.
To make the crust: Put the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse about 12 times, or until pebble sized pieces are formed.
Add the buttermilk then oil to the food processor and pulse until just moistened. Do not over mix. Drop the batter in 6 mounds on top of the chicken mixture (1 mound on each individual dish, if using) spreading the batter out slightly. Bake until filling is bubbling and the biscuit topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

totally unexpected savory flavor
This is a little shorten version…
In a large skillet with 1/2 c olive oil saute 1 onion chopped, 1 celery finely chopped and 1 carrot finely chop or grated. Add 1 minced garlic clove (optional).
Sprinkle some sea salt and ground black pepper in with the veggies.
Add 1.5lbs to 2lbs ground chicken of ground turkey breast to bowl of veggies.
They are messy to make so be sure you have a plate or something to put them on.
Get 1 to 2 T oil very hot in the skillet, add the patties and turn down heat.
When they are pretty much done, take out of pan, add 1/2 c. bottled BBQ sauce to pan (or make your own…see BBQ Pizza recipe).
Put the patties back in pan over BBQ sauce and simmer.
Barbecue Chicken Pizza
PIZZA! Man was I excited for this clean recipe. I mean….who doesn’t love a warm, saucy, maybe cheesy, bite of pizza. I fixed this up the other night for some football madness.
Barbecue Chicken Pizza
Ingredients:
olive oil cooking spray
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 oz mushrooms, thinly sliced (notice I did not have these as the were OUT of them at the store!)
1/2 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2lb boneless chicken breast boiled till cooked through and sliced into thin strips
5 oz unsalted tomato paste
2 T cider vinegar
1 T honey or maple syrup
1 tsp onion powder
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp Spanish paprika
ground pepper
2/3 C pre shredded 2% mozzarella cheese
1/2tsp oregano
of course, if you do not desire to make your own clean BBQ sauce then you can omit the tomato paste through oregano ingredients and just use your fav BBQ sauce.
Instructions:
preheat oven to 425F
heat a large skillet over high heat for 1 minute, reduce to medium, mist with olive oil and saute onions till caramelized.
Add mushrooms and finally peppers till all veggies are cooked tender. Remove veggies from pan, mist a little more olive oil and add chicken slices to brown a touch.
Prepare BBQ sauce in small bowl. whisk tomato paste, vinegar, honey, onion powder, garlic, paprika, and black pepper. I did add about a T regular BBQ sauce for just a tad more flavor.
Place premade whole wheat pizza dough 🙂 (convenience rules sometimes) on pan.
Smear with sauce, add chicken and veggies.
Dust the top just lightly with mozzarella.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. ENJOY!
