Recipe Series: Cheesy Chicken Cups and Easy Chicken Casserole

Recipe Series: A Recipe with Coupon Matchups! (This is the second post of this series)

Here are two super easy recipes. The first, Cheesy Chicken Cups, is very kid-friendly. My kiddos enjoy helping me make them by "flattening" the biscuits before I put them in the muffin pan. The second recipe, Easy Chicken Casserole, is something I threw together years ago so I have no exact measurements. If you make casseroles, I'm sure it's similar to those recipes. The common ingredient in both recipes is Cream Of Chicken soup. I use Campbell's Healthy Request Cream of Chicken soup, but you can use other brands or types. Campbells often comes out with coupons for the soups in the Sunday inserts and online printables (like HERE).

Cheesy Chicken Cups
(Note: The picture on the left shows it made with broccoli. You can use other small veggies or none at all. I don't put any veggies because the cups then overfill. Instead, I serve it with a side of veggies)
Servings: 10

-1 cup diced cooked chicken breast

Instructions
Preheat oven 400. Press biscuit into the bottom on muffin cups. Combine other ingredients except cheese, spoon mixture into biscuits sprinkle cheese on the top of each one. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
* If you use the Healthy Request Cream of Chicken Soup and 2% Shredded Cheese, this recipe is WW (Weight Watchers) friendly. About 3 points per Cheesy Chicken Cup

Recipe Sereies: Whole Wheat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies and Coupons!

I want to show you how using coupons to buy basic ingredients in baking and cooking can save you money. Here's a great cookie recipe I have made several times. It has gotten rave reviews by friends and my family loves it! It's made with whole wheat flour, but you would never know it. Read the recipe below and current coupons that match up to the ingredients.


Whole Wheat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar $0.40 off Any one (1) Domino Product from  SmartSource.com
1 cup packed brown sugar $0.40 off Any one (1) Domino Product from  SmartSource.com
2 large eggs
2 tbsp milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups whole wheat flour $0.75 5lb BAG OR LARGER Gold Medal Whole Wheat Flour coupon from Coupons.com (use zipcode 16803 if you don't see it):
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups oats (rolled or "quick," but not "instant") $1/1 Quaker Oats coupon here or here 
2 cups chocolate chips (12-oz.)  $0.75/1 Nestle Tollhouse Morsels coupon here or $0.50/2 Nestle Tollhouse Morsels coupon here

Preheat the oven to 350F.
-Cream together the butter and the sugars. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the milk and vanilla extract.
-In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Gradually beat the flour into the sugar mixture until just incorporated.
-Stir in the oats and chocolate chips by hand.
-Drop about tablespoon of dough onto the cookie sheet, placing about 1 1/2 inches apart so they have room to spread. I like to put parchment paper on my cookie sheets. Cookies won't stick and easy clean up. Use $1/1 Reynold's Parchment Paper coupon here

Bake for 10-13 minutes
Makes about 4-5 dozen.

Note: I originally found this recipe online somewhere. I can not remember where.
