Chipotle Chicken Sandwich / #SundaySupper

Have you ever had a great sandwich when you were dining out, and thought, "I could make this, and make it better"? That is my inspiration for this Chipotle Chicken Sandwich. I recently had a delicious sandwich at a local restaurant, and I loved it. But instead of going back to the restaurant, I decided to make it at home. It is quicker, less expensive, and simple to make! And that's what we are celebrating today for #SundaySupper~Simple Sandwich Recipes!

Chipotle Chicken Sandwich 
(printable recipe at end of post)

Chipotle Sauce
3 1/2 ounces Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
10 ounces Sour Cream
1/2 teaspoon Minced Garlic
2 tablespoon Milk
2 teaspoon Lemon Juice

Sandwich
7 ounces raw chicken breast
Dry Chipotle Seasoning
1-2 teaspoon Butter
onion
4 Cheese Mix
red leaf lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise
avocado
Bakery Style Bun

Place all the sauce ingredients in to a food processor or blender. Mix until smooth. Set aside sauce.

Cut chicken breast to the desired weight. It can be smaller or larger than in the ingredient list. It depends on how much you want. I cut this one to 7 ounces because it would fill up the bun and look nice. Butterfly the chicken breast so it looks like the above picture. To butterfly the chicken, lay it flat on a cutting board. Cut away the small filet that is to the side. You can use it later. Use a sharp knife to cut through the middle of the chicken parallel with the cutting board. Don't cut all the way to the end. Stop right before the edge. Fold open the chicken.
Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the southwest seasoning. Melt butter in a medium frying pan on medium heat. Cook the chicken breast on both sides until cooked through to 165℉.
While the chicken is cooking, melt more butter in another pan. Thinly slice a couple onion slices. Separate the onions and saute them in the melted butter. Pull them off the stove when done.
As your chicken is almost done, within a few degrees, sprinkle the cheese all over the top. Cover the pan with an upside down pan, and turn off the heat. The cheese will melt and the chicken will cook to temperature.
Place mayonnaise on both sides of the bun. On the top side place avocado and onion. On the bottom side, place lettuce, chicken, chipotle sauce and tomato.

Enjoy!

Cookies and Cream Frozen Pudding Pops / #15 Minute Friday

It has been really hot here in North Carolina this summer! Luckily, we have made plenty of these Cookies and Cream Frozen Pudding Pops as a way to keep cool! These are definitely the most frozen #15MinuteFriday recipe I have made. (I don't count the freezer time!) They are so yummy and easy, and I see a few other frozen recipes coming our way as the summer heat doesn't seem to want to end! Have fun with these!


Cookies and Cream Frozen Pudding Pops
(makes 5 pops)
(printable recipe at end of page)
4.2 ounce Cookies and Cream Pudding Mix 
2 cups Cold Milk
4-5 Oreos
Popsicle Mold 



Mix the pudding mix according to the package directions.
Pour the pudding mix into the popsicle molds. Put the lid/handle on top and place on a level spot in the freezer. Freeze for several hours or overnight.
Once the pops are completely frozen, scrape the cream out of the cookies and place to the side. Place the cookies in a plastic bag that will close securely. Go over the bag with a rolling pin, crushing the cookies in to small crumbs. 
Remove the cookies from the sleeves, one at a time. Roll the frozen pops on top of the crushed cookies. They should attach to the pops. If they don't, sprinkle the pops very lightly with some water before rolling them in the crumbs. Place the pops back in the sleeve and put back in the freezer until you wish to eat them. They won't fit completely back in, but they will be fine. Enjoy!
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed this #15MinuteFriday recipe!

Chocolate Cherry No Bake Bars / #SundaySupper

Today we are having a picnic, and I brought these Chocolate Cherry No Bake Bars! These bars are easy to make. They do take a little bit of time; but they are so worth it! Creamy, tasty, and full of chocolate and cherry flavor. They are a perfect dessert! They fit in at a picnic, a campout, a backyard party or anywhere you want to serve a fun dessert that everyone will love! 
Plan time to make this dessert. It has to be refrigerated for at least 3 hours after making it.  It can be refrigerated for several days if you wish to make it ahead of time!
 

Chocolate Cherry No Bake Bars
(printable recipe at end of page)

1 pound Fresh Cherries
1 cup Fresh Whipping Cream
2-3 tbl Confectioners Sugar
3 Cherry Yogurt Containers (6 oz. each)
Chocolate Graham Crackers
Chocolate Curls

 Wash the cherries, take the stems off, pit the cherries, and cut them in half. Place in refrigerator until needed.
Make whipped cream with the whipping cream, adding sugar as desired. I used fresh whipped cream, but pre made whipped cream will work also. Mix the whipped cream with the containers of cherry yogurt; just mixing with a spoon.
 Fit chocolate graham crackers onto the bottom of the pan, You can use any size pan for this recipe. I used a small one that is 6"x9". If you prefer to use a larger dish, adjust the amount of the ingredients to fit your pan. The graham crackers are easily cut with a serrated knife by "sawing" back and forth.
You will be making 3 layers, so divide your yogurt whipped cream mix accordingly. Place the first layer over the bottom layer of graham crackers.
 Add cherries, again keeping in mind that you will have three layers of cherries.
Add the second layer of graham crackers right on top of the cherries. Then spread a layer of the whipped cream yogurt mix on top. Add more cherries.
Add the final layer of the graham crackers when you are almost to the top of your pan. 
Add another layer of whipped cream and yogurt mix, and top with the cherry halves. Use a vegetable peeler to shave pieces of chocolate from the block of chocolate to the top layer. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for approximately 3 hours. Check to see if the graham crackers have softened by sticking a toothpick in to several spots. The toothpick should go down through the crackers. Once it does, the bars are ready to be cut and served.
The bars should be kept refrigerated. The longer they are refrigerated, the better they taste and the softer the texture.
Serve right from the fridge!
