I'm too lazy to go back and see which chicken recipes I submitted last time so...

Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole

1 pkg. Uncle Ben's Wild Rice and Long Grain  Rice, prepared as directed
1 whole chicken or several chicken breasts, cooked and cubed

1 can french green beans
1 can sliced water chestnuts
1 can sliced mushrooms
2 oz. jar pimientos, chopped
1/2 cup mayo (low fat works great!)
1 can cream of celery soup (low fat/salt works great!)
1 pkg. slivered almonds, toasted
salt and pepper

Drain all the cans.  Cook the rice according to package directions.  Cook the chicken and cut into bite size pieces.  Mix together mayo, soup and almonds.  Mix in the rest of the ingredients. Cook in a casserole dish at 350* for 30 minutes.

Chicken Curry 

6-8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into cubes 
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 tsp. curry powder
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. cardamom
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. garlic salt
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 cup coconut

Stir chicken into cornstarch.  Mix together curry, ginger, cardamom, chili powder, cloves and garlic salt.  Drop chicken into 1-2 tablespoons oil in skillet and sprinkle with spices.  Turn and spice the other side.  Brown well.  Add bay leaves, milk, cinnamon stick and coconut.  Simmer until tender and sauce is thickened.  Serve over rice with pineapple, raisins, cucumber, tomatoes, bananas, coconut, etc.  Add sauteed onions to stretch the sauce!

Chicken Tacos

8 oz. cream cheese, cubed (low fat is okay, don't try with the non fat)
1/3 cup milk
1 1/2 cup cooked chicken, shredded/chopped
4 oz. can chopped green chilis
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. chili powder

Heat together cream cheese and milk on low until smooth.  Add remaining ingredients and heat through.  Serve in tortillas and load up however you like your tacos!

Salsa Chicken

1 lb. chicken, cubed
1 pkg. taco seasoning
1/3 cup apricot or peach jam
1 can Mexican style tomatoes

Dredge chicken in seasoning and brown in a skillet.  Cooking and stirring, add all remaining ingredients. Simmer for 10 minutes.  Serve over rice!

I know I submitted my absolute favorites, Chicken Milano and Chicken Bruschetta, last time, so don't forget to go to the first volume of the cookbook if you still want those.

Liz & Meg: this is Linz's mom. I check in her sporadically and missed that chicken bruschetta dish you spoke of and couldn't find it in looking in the archives. Would you mind helping me find it? It sounds absolutely fabulous! Thank you!

Yum! I am trying the chicken and wild rice! It sounds great and I love recipes with whole grains. Horray for another great post by Liz!
