Chicken Delights!

          I originally found this recipe on the internet and felt it was something my wife would like  .....  and of course I made some modification to suit our taste buds !   It's quickly become, not only one of my wife's " Favorite Meals ", but one of mine also !   ( however I like it with gravy )    We hope you'll try it and like it as much as we do .....

Ingredients:

  2 - small " thin sliced " cooked Chicken Breasts  -  ( #1 )
  2 - eggs
  1 - package ( 6 oz. ) Stove Top Chicken Stuffing Mix  -  ( #2 )
  1 - cup of water
  1/4 - cup of finely chopped red or green pepper
  1 - tablespoon of " Minced Dried Onion "
  1/2 - cup of Mayo
  1 - Velveeta mini block ( 4 ozs. ) cut into 12 pieces  -  ( #3 )
  1 - jar of " Chicken Gravy "  -  ( optional )

Directions:

  Cook " thin sliced " chicken breasts at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
  Cook one side for 15 minutes and them flip and cook other side for 15 minutes.
  Put dry minced onion in a bowl and add a little water to hydrate them
  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  Once the chicken is cooked and has " cooled a little " cut them up into tiny pieces.
  Mix all ingredients ( except Velvetta cheese ) in a bowl until well blended.
  Spray a 12 cup muffin ( cupcake ) pan with cooking spray.  -  ( #4 )
  Spoon mixture evenly into the cups.
  Push one Velveeta cube into the center of each cup and cover with mixture if possible.
  Bake ( uncovered ) for 20 minutes.
  Let them cool for about 5 minutes.
  Serve .....

          I use Purdue pre-marinated " Italian Chicken Breast " which are thin and individually pre-packaged when I can find them.
          If I can't find Perdue pre-marinated chicken breasts I will normally buy " thin sliced chicken breasts " which are available at most grocery stores.
          Then I typically marinate the " thin sliced chicken breasts " over night in our Favorite Italian Dressing for marinating chicken ( which we also use use as a salad dressing ) which is:  " Garlic Expressions "  ( see photo below )   You can, of course, also use the chicken plain ...


          Instead of regular Stove Top " Chicken Stuffing Mix " or can also try their " Savory Herbs Mix " or even their " Turkey Stuffing Mix ".

          Velveeta " Mini-Blocks ".  ( see photo below ) .
          Velveeta individually wrapped " Mini-Blocks " are great to have around and they are " very versatile ".   You can melt them in a microwave to pour over " Baked Potatos ", " Vegetables ", use as a " chip dip ", or even stuff them into the center of homemade " Meatballs ".
          We also buy and use the Velveeta individually wrapped " cheese slices " which make the best " Grilled Cheese Sandwiches " and you can even get the slices in regular or " Cheddar Cheese Flavor ".

          If you spray your muffin pan ahead of time you won't need " cup cake papers " and they will come out really easy.
