Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas

January 15, 2016 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom Leave a Comment

I'm back with more quesadillas...this time with a fun and ridiculously tasty Buffalo Chicken version. These are perfect finger foods for the upcoming "Big Game Day" - also known as Super Bowl 50! I've taken all the amazing flavors of Buffalo Hot Wings and loaded them into tortillas. Here's how it looks... Mix up the filling. When you use rotisserie chicken, it … [Read more...]

Drop the pasta into a pot of water and quickly whip up the white sauce that you can transform into a Cajun chicken sauce with some rotisserie chicken and Cajun seasoning.

Chicken Margherita Pizza

Chicken Margherita Pizza from 5DollarDinners.com

Homemade Pizza night is ALWAYS a hit around here! I've got a little secret...I just don't love restaurant doughs. Maybe it's because I make homemade pizzas so often and just prefer my dough recipe (link is below.) Not only can I make it without thinking about it, it's super soft, delicious and makes the perfect size pizza-pie for our family. This Chicken Margherita … [Read more...]

Stack-E-Up-Es

January 12, 2016 by Jenn K Leave a Comment

Haystacks - StackEs - Stack E Up Es - Dinner Mountain... Or whatever you want to call this dinner experience! I love the "set out all the ingredients" concept of this kind of meal...as everyone at the table ends up with a stack of food that they will enjoy. It starts with rice. Then some shredded or rotisserie chicken on top, followed by whatever selections of toppings … [Read more...]

Chicken, Spinach & Artichoke Quesadillas

January 11, 2016 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 1 Comment

It's like your favorite spinach artichoke dip...in quesadilla form. And to answer your question (at least the question I think you might be thinking about right now!)...YES, these are as addictive as the dip can be. Even my little 'spinach avoiders' thought these were great! There are a couple different ways to make/cook a quesadilla, but these work best in the oven. … [Read more...]

Chicken Waldorf Salad

January 10, 2016 by Jenn K Leave a Comment

This is hands down my favorite Chicken Salad recipe...ever. And this is what I often make myself for lunch when I have leftover shredded or rotisserie chicken from the previous night's dinner. I always have these ingredients on hand (kids are grapes and apples fiends!) and the rest are fridge or pantry staples for us...soooooo. Easy, delicious lunch for me. Get this … [Read more...]

Chicken Noodle Soup

January 9, 2016 by Jenn K Leave a Comment

'Tis the season for achoos, sniffles and giant vats of homemade chicken noodle soup. What exactly is it about chicken noodle soup that somehow makes you feel better when you're under the weather??? Our poor family dealt with an ugly cold over the Christmas break and everyone slurped down this soup. But even when you're not feeling well, this is comfort food at it's … [Read more...]

Winter Spinach Salad with Chicken

January 8, 2016 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 1 Comment

I love to make this salad for lunch...and we've had it for dinner too. My boys aren't the biggest salad fans, but when I load it with their faves - chicken, apples, cranberries - they don't seem to mind as much. I've got some pecans and dried cranberries leftover from the holiday baking that happened in my kitchen...so I imagine this salad will be making several appearances … [Read more...]

6 Shredded Chicken Enchilada Recipes from 5DollarDinners.com

I {big puffy beating heart} love enchiladas. Love, love, love them! Whenever we visit tex-mex spots for dinner around here...I get enchiladas. I eat the enchies, and Cuatro eats the rice and beans. (He's almost big enough for his own kids' meal...but I'm not almost ready to have to pay for another kids meal!!!) I love making them at home because there are so many great … [Read more...]
