Chocolate Croissants

     Hello all!

     We are back with another great recipe this time its breakfast!  Everyone loves a good pastry!  Here is such an easy recipe that you can put together in just a matter of a few minutes!  When it comes to Breakfast we try to get you ideas that taste great, but are also quicker.  We know sometimes this meal is rushed especially during the school week.  We love a good morning meal that can take a bit of time however sometimes you need to get things done so here is a nice quick and easy idea!

Please note for the glaze below, chef noticed he had extra so if you want to cut the amounts in half you still will have enough.

Serves 8-12

Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: 8-10 Minutes

Total Time: 20 Minutes

Ingredients: 

8-12 Crescent Rolls (Store bought or homemade) 

1 Bag of Milk Chocolate Chips
1/3 Cup of Sugar
1 Teaspoon Corn Starch

4 Eggs

1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon 

1 Cup Milk

1/2 Cup half and half cream
Non Stick Cooking Spray

Directions:

Take your Croissant rolls and with a small knife cut the center just a slit.

Put 2-3 table spoons of chocolate chips inside and place the roll aside. 

In large bowl mix the sugar, cinnamon

Add the milk, half and half cream 

With a whisk mix up until blended  

Heat up your oven to 400 Degrees.

You can use a brush or just dip the top of the croissant roll completely in the mixed glaze. 

Spray a baking sheet with non stick spray.

Place the Croissants on the pan and place in the oven.  

Bake for 8-10 minutes.

Take out and let cool for a minute then plate up!

Enjoy!

     As you can see they came out looking amazing.  The glaze gives them a nice crunch then you get to the nice chocolaty center.  What Chef likes so much about this meal is, it is cheap and easy.  You can buy store made croissants that aren't expensive.  If you want to make your own we say go for it!  However with the demand of a busy day or kids we totally understand!  It will be our little secret!  

     We really hope you enjoyed this video and remember you can make the glaze the night before then cook them in the morning for the kids!  This way they don't have to have cereal all the time.  This will be a fun different take on breakfast, they can bring them to school and show them off too!

Venison Steak with Pan Jus

     Hello all,

    With Thanksgiving just around the corner we thought we would give you a break and cook something new and exciting!  With your new Venison and Game playlist started we wanted to start you off with Venison Steaks!  We are cooking Venison Round Steaks today, a very lean meat and full of flavor without the fat content!

     Yes Venison is deer and lots may be turned off by this playlist or video but we also know there are a lot of people that depend on it to feed their families.  There are a lot of hunters that support their families this way and hunting is perfectly legal, and has been around since people have been eating meat.  There are a few family members of our team that hunt.  All follow safe guidelines and all use the meat when the hunt is over.  None of them just hunt for sport and leave the animal.  With a lot of people upset about hunters the team has a general feeling that if you hunt to feed others, yet enjoy the sport of it that isn't a big deal.  Hunting also allows the animal to be free in the wild.  Most will speak badly about hunters then go buy beef where the cow was raised and then killed with no chance of even escape.

     A few of the team members have been raised on Venison for since they were children.  Our very own chef comes from a line of hunters in his family.  However he doesn't currently hunt himself he gladly takes in the meat to feed his family, team and others.  He also knows how lean the meat is and how flavorful it can be.  Since Venison and Game animals live in the wild they don't need to be pumped with, well what ever people do to make animals that way.  There are no antibiotics as well in the animal so animals like deer are all natural.

     We really hope we get some good feed back about this play list and want to show you more meals you can prepare with all different animals we may have come along.

Serves:  4

Ingredients:
1 Package of Venison Round Steak.  Should contain about 4 pieces.
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Pepper
Pinch of Garlic powder
1 Table spoon course seasoning.  (Like your basic Montreal steak seasoning)
1 Table spoon butter
1 Table spoon oil, per side of each steak.
1/4 Cup Beef Broth
1/4 Cup Red Wine
Few Leaves of Rosemary
Few Leaves of Thyme
Mashed Potatoes. Homemade or instant, we don't judge. (We can't, they were instant in the video!)

Directions:
Lightly season each side of the steaks with fine salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Let sit out for about 1/2 hour.
Then sprinkle the course rub on and pat in let sit another 10 minutes.
Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of canola oil over each side.
Heat your oven to  400 Degrees
Heat an oven safe pan up to high heat.
Heat up the butter.
Lay the Steaks on the pan and let cook for about 15 seconds, this will sear the meat and give that nice crust.
Flip and let sear on the other side again for 15 seconds.
Place the pan in the over for about 5-10 minutes, depending how cooked you like your steak.
Remove and place the meat on a plate to let rest.
Add the beef broth, wine and leaves to the drippings in your pan.
On medium heat let cook for about 5-10 minutes then turn off.
Cut the meat in thin strips and place over the mashed potatoes.
With a spoon drizzle the pan sauce lightly over the meat.
Lay a few pieces of Thyme leaves over top for garnish.
Serve hot and add a vegetable if you would like as a side.


     We think you will really enjoy this meal and one thing to remember, Venison is not very thick per how it is usually prepared so because the meet will be thinner the cook times are thinner.  If you were to have a 1.5 to 2 inch steak, the searing and cooking times would be very different.

     So if you like medium rare watch the meat carefully, and check it in the oven about 5 minutes in.  Also remember when the meat is resting on the side after you remove it, the temperature will rise and meat will cook some more.

     We really hope you enjoyed this post and the video is below so please check that out.  If you haven't subscribed yet please do!  Remember in life and in cooking always try new things!  You may really enjoy them.  Like chef said, Venison is very lean and a healthy substitute to other meats.  Also one thing he loved was he paid about $40 for the deer he received.  It was all packaged and processed and there was about 2 large boxes.  He said it was such a deal.  If you find a hunter that has extra or will only charge you for the processing of the meat, look into it!  The price is so much cheaper, and many hunters like to hunt anyway so they probably will only charge your for the processing.

  

     We do hope you enjoyed the video, and chef says please note, try Venison before you buy it!  This way you are not stuck with all that meat and nobody will eat it.  If you know someone who has it ask to try some.  See what you think before you invest!

     Please have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving, if you are not from the states please be thankful everyday.  We are blessed to have all we do and sometimes we want what others have but we need to remember how much we have in our own lives.  We here at The Cooking Corner are very thankful for all we have and for our amazing viewers!  YOU!  Thank you for watching our show, subscribing and helping us do what we love.   Showing you how to make very easy and amzing meals!

A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!

Eggplant Parmesan

     Hello all,  we hope you are all having a wonderful fall and today we wanted to share a very easy and delicious recipe!  Eggplant Parmesan!  This meal is considered to be kind of a younger brother to the classic chicken parm dish.  You however probably saw both dishes on a menu at one point while eating out.  A lot of people may pass by this dish however feeling it may not be filling, however it is very much so!  It also is very inexpensive to make, especially if you grow the eggplant or have friends that grow it and share their harvest with you!

     Eggplant isn't expensive, however growing the vegetable or getting it from frineds will more than likely not have any pesticides and will be considered organic per nothing was used to tamper with the growing of the product.  This dish also is healthy per eggplant has many positive values, such as it is high in vitamins and minerals.  It is also rich in fiber as well as antioxidants and free radicals that help support brain function.   The season for eggplant is August through October however depending on the weather you can still have some left for the winter season.  Eggplant can also be frozen to be used at a later date, we suggest doing some proper research to make sure you are freezing this or other foods correctly.  Please also feel free to look up different benefits of how amazing this vegetable is!

Serves: 4-6

Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time 25 Minutes
Total Time: 35 Minutes

Ingredients:
1 Eggplant.  Make sure it is dark in color, firm to the touch and in good shape. Ours was from a local garden.
2 Cups all purpose flower
3 Eggs
2 Cups Italian style bread crumbs
1 ounce of water
Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 Bunch of fresh parsley
Fresh Mozzarella cheese
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Pepper
1 Jar  of Red Sauce
Oil for cooking

Directions:
Wash the Eggplant under cold water and pat dry.
Remove the green stem and cut the both ends off
Slice the Eggplant about 1/4 inch all the way down.
In three septet containers make your mixing area.
Place the flour in one with some salt and pepper
Scramble your eggs in the next with the water, and salt and pepper
Place the bread crumbs in the last, with the pinch of salt and pepper as well.
Place a few pieces of eggplant in the flour and coat well.
Move to the egg wash and coat again.
Move to the bread crumbs for the final coat.
Once fully coated place on a plate to let sit.
Once all the pieces are fully coated let them sit about 15 minutes either out or in the firdge.  This will allow the bread crumbs to fully set and adhere to the eggplant.
Chop up the parsley and start to cut the fresh Mozzarella cheese into pieces.
In a pan place just enough oil to cover 1/2 of the eggplant.  You don't wan them fully covered.
Let the oil heat up to about 350 degrees then place the pieces in.
Let cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, flip and repeat.
Take them off and place them on a baking sheet.
Have your oven preheated to 350 degrees
With a table spoon place some red sauce over each eggplant.
Then cover with a piece of fresh mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over top
Then sprinkle some of the chopped up parsley.
Place the pan in the over and let bake for about  5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and browned.
You can now serve up with either pasta or a healthy vegetable.  
Serve hot!

 
     The steps seem long but as you watch the video you will see they are not that intense.  We just wrote them out ever step by step.  As you can see below they came out golden brown, they had a great taste to them and if you want to add more sauce fee free to!  Below is our video so please check that out if you haven't seen it yet.

Serves 2

Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 15-20 Minutes
Total Time: 25-30 Minutes

Ingredients:
2 Fresh caught salmon.  Also note you can use farm raised salmon if there is no fresh caught available.  Look for the darkest salmon, the darker the color the better.
1 Cub of pure farm bough Honey
2 Table spoons of crushed Pecans
1 Table Spoon Brown Sugar
4 Cups Broccoli cut up
2 Ounces of Olive Oil
2 Table spoons of of Salt
2 Table spoons of Pepper
2 Table spoons of Powder
2 Cups of Quinoa


Directions:
Rinse the salmon under cold water and pat dry.
Lightly season with salt, pepper and garlic powder, on both sides then let rest.
In a large bowl mix the broccoli, table spoon of salt, pepper and garlic powder.
In a smaller bowl mix the brown sugar, honey and chopped pecans.  Chop the pecans in a mixer if you can't buy them chopped up.  Chef chopped his own.
Add more honey if needed and mix up till it is a thick glaze.
Either heat up a cast iron skillet or place tin foil on a cooking sheet if you do not have cast iron.
(Heating up the cast iron will allow the fish to cook and not stick)
Place your fish in the skillet or sheet pan and surround with the seasoned broccoli
Glace the salmon with your honey pecan glaze, place a nice thick coat on.
Have your oven set to broil and place in.
Depending on how how your oven gets you need between 15-20 minutes.  Do not have the fish to close to the top, second setting down is good.
Cook the Quinoa.
Check the fish every few minutes, if the boccie is getting crispy as well as the fish you are good.
You want the fish to look crispy and the broccoli to have black charred tops.

Asparagus Parmesan

  

     Hello all!
     We wanted to share a very easy and great side for almost any main dish.  Asparagus has many health benefits such as it is high in many minerals and fiber.  Green vegetables are also very good for your immune system and help your liver and kidneys function.  They clean out major organs like this, aside from that funny smell everyone knows about the vegetable is also has a very good taste and you can make it all different kinds of ways.   You can also pick them up at your local store or market for a pretty cheap price.  I have even bought them frozen which is still good because picked fruits and vegetables are usually flash frozen so they retain the minerals and nutrients.

     So below is a great oven roasted side dish you can put with chicken, beef, fish or even alone if you wish for a healthy snack.  You can also place this on a salad to mix it up!

Serves 4-6 Depending on the bundle you get.

Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 20 Minutes
Total Time: 25 Minutes

Ingredients:
Asparagus: 1 bundle or package is about 4 servings

Cooking Oil-we use Coconut oil or Olive oil    

Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions: 
Heat your oven to 350
Rinse off the Asparagus and dry
Cut the bottoms off about .5 to 1 inch from the bottom
Lay the Asparagus flat on a tray like a cookie sheet, make sure it has a lip around
Drizzle olive oil on the Asparagus, just go back and fourth from top to bottom don't over drizzle.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the Asparagus.

Place the tray in the oven and cook for about 20 minutes you can go longer if you would like.  Test them my sicking a fork in the Asparagus and see how tough they are.
Take out and place on your dish and enjoy!

     We think you will enjoy this dish, it's really easy to make and is healthy too.  We like to have it when we eat chicken or fish.  Honestly it also makes a great side dish if you can't decide or if you are both saying no to a vegetable the other is offering.  

     With such an easy dish we think you will be making this more often then not!  The team likes this dish because it is healthy, taste great and goes with everything.  Also if you are just stumped on a side, cook this!  You just need 3 ingredients and it takes less than a half an hour.  Friends of our team say they use this as a go to now and it has helped them complete many meals!

Thank you again for stopping by and check out the video, please subscribe fore more great recipes and ideas!  We are trying to put out ones you will enjoy, and afford!  Thank you again for joining us and let us know of anything different you may have done to the meal!

Happy Halloween!

 
     We hope everyone had a great past weekend as well as today being Halloween!  Today we have a dip right from Chef himself.  This is a BLT-T Dip.  Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato and Turkey.  A fun new dip we think you would love and is different.  Chef told us making a new dip can be difficult just because of how many there are and how many amazing ones at that.  However he thought it was a great idea to have a dip for our video because everyone likes to bring apostatizes for Halloween parties.  Chef did say to make this after the holiday as well!  It makes an all around amazing dip so don't contain it to just this season!

Serves 6-10

Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 25 Minutes

Ingredients:
1 Pound of Ground Turkey

1 Package of cream cheese (8 ounces)
1 Cup Sour Cream for mixing
1/4 Cup for garnish
1/2 Shredded lettuce
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Pepper
Pinch of Garlic powder
Your favorite chips for dipping

Directions:
Place your bacon strips on a cooking sheet over tin foil and cook at 350 degrees until fully cooked.
While the bacon is cooking cook up the ground turkey, season the turkey with salt, pepper and garlic power.
After the bacon is cooked remove and let cool.  (place in freezer for faster results)
Chop up the green onions and tomato and shred the lettuce.
In a large bowl mix the cream cheese, mayo, sour cream and the cooked ground turkey.  Mix well.
Break up the now cooled bacon and add almost all of it.  Leave some for garnishment.
Add the the 1 cup of chopped onions, sharp cheddar cheese and almost all the tomato.  Leave some tomato for garnishment.
Once fully mixed add to a shallow pie dish or other shallow dish.
Cook at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Remove and garnish with the shredded lettuce, and left over bacon, green onions, and tomato.
Place a dollop of cream cheese in the middle.

Serve hot, with a good dipping chip!

Tangy Chicken Wings

     With Fall now in full swing we thought it would be a great start to show you an appetizer that taste great and is easy to make!  Since we made some great fried chicken wings we wanted to show you that oven baked wings can turn out just as amazing!  This also is a great time to start cooking with our ovens per its cooling down.  When it gets colder out sometimes frying outside can get difficult plus cooking foods in all different techniques is fun and gives you a different taste for that food.

     We think you will enjoy this appetizer, you just simply mix and cook!  No going outside to fry or worry about oil either.  Below is the recipe for this dish along with some changes as well and alterations so be sure to check them out!

Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 40 Minutes
Total Time: 45 Minutes

Serves 8

Ingredients:
12-15 Chicken Wings thawed and cleaned.
1 Package of dry French onion mix
2 Table Spoons Spicy mustard
1/3 Cup Honey
Salt and Pepper

Directions:
Make sure the wings are fully thawed rinsed and dried.
Salt and Pepper the wings and let sit
In a small bowl mix the french onion mix, mustard and honey together.
Place the wings in a larger bowl place the wings.
Drizzle the sauce over the wings and mix.
Place the wings on a pan that has tin foil on it.
Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes.
Flip them around 20 minutes.

Alteration:  You take the wings and cook them for 20 minutes first without the sauce mixed on them.  Then take them out and sauce them, finish cooking them for the rest of the 20 minutes.  Below we will explain the difference so be sure to check that out!

     The video is directly below so please check that out for step by step instructions!  The wings came out great, there only a few so the whole team didn't get to have them but chef tried!  The blog/social medial department did and they were amazing!  They had a crispy texture with a sweet and tangy taste.  Something new and different.  A lot of the times you get the same kinds of wings, but this was different.  It was refreshing to try something new!

     For the alteration, chef said if you sauce the wings then cook them for 40 minutes like the video shows.  They will have a great taste but will have a more harden shell.  If you cook the wings naked then sauce them 20 minutes in, the sauce won't cook as along so the texture will be different.  Try both ways or cook 1/2 one way 1/2 another and see the difference!

   

     We really hope you enjoyed the video and post!  The wings were a great unique idea and makes great for that fall football season!  Also again if you don't have a fryer this works perfectly!  Oven baked wings taste amazing and will be a bit healthier.  We encourage you to always try new ideas and routs to your end result!  Thank you so much again for stopping by we hope you come again!

Be sure to check out all his info which is listed below on this post! 

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Cook Time: 20 Minutes
Total Time: 35 Minutes

Serves 4

Ingredients: 
8-12 Asparagus Spears depending on thickness
2 Table Spoons Butter
2/3 Cup Heavy Cream
Lemon Zest- 1 Lemon's worth
Salt and Pepper- to taste
1 Ounce of lemon juice
1 Cup of Carrots, Carrot chips work great
1 lb of Fettuccine
Basil Leaves
Shaved Parmesan Cheese

Directions:
Run Asparagus under cold water and dry.  Cut the bottom woody like ends off.
With a sharp knife cut the asparagus into diagonal pieces. 1/4 inch is good.
In a pan melt 2 table spoons of butter or heat up 2 table spoons of oil.
Add the asparagus and saute for 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and salt and pepper for taste
Add the lemon zest and heavy cream. (You can void the cream if you would like)
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the carrots.
After a minute add the pasta until cooked.
Remove about 2 ounces of the cooking water and set aside.
Drain your pasta and carrot mixture and place back in the pot.
Season with salt.
Pour the asparagus mixture over the pasta and mix, coating all the pasta.
Add some lemon juice and some of the cooking water to loosen if needed.
Add in a few basil leaves
Serve in a bowl or plate and on top add a few more basil leaves and garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese if you would like.

*Side Alteration, if you wanted to not use butter for the pan or heavy cream.  You can substitute it for olive or canola oil which is healthier.  The dish also won't be altered much.

     This dish is very delicious and makes a great fall meal.  It is very simple to make and is very colorful!  You can also not add in the butter, milk and cheese if you want to.  After we all tried this dish we all knew it would be a hit.  It has a great flavor and Fettuccine pasta is so often passed by.  The thicker noodle is nice to work with and its holds the flavor very well.  Make sure you  check out the video below and subscribe if you haven't yet to our channel for future content!

     Also note when the season is over keep listening!  Scary stories don't just have to be told during October!  Its fun year round to gather some friends for spooky evening with food and horror!  Hey maybe we will collaborate some day!  (That is our narrator dreaming of course.)  We really enjoyed this post because we had fun and this being our first holiday season we wanted to branch out!  Also note if you found us because you follow Corpse Husband, stick around, maybe you are looking for a cooking site as well!  We would love to have you!

Loaded Baked Potato

     Everyone loves a good baked potato!  Taking the time to slowly cook them and then adding some of your favorite toppings makes such an amazing side dish or snack.  These are so easy to make and once done you and your guest will have this very flavorful side dish.

     What we like so much about this side dish is that it can go with just about anything.  You can add different things to it and it doesn't take long to prep and serve.  With just dressing up the potato after it's been cooked you are good to go!  Below are the steps to follow along with our video!  Please check it out.

Prep Time: 5 Minues
Cook Time: 1 hr 10 minutes
Total Time: 1.15 Hr

This recipe serves 2

Ingredients:
2 Potatoes (one per person) Russet or Idaho work great.
2 Table Spoon Butter
3 Table Spoon Parsley
3 Table Spoon Rosemary
3 Table Spoon Chives
1 Table spoon Green Onion
3 Table Spoon Olive Oil
3 Small pieces cooked crispy bacon
1/4 Cup Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese (Buy a fresh block and shred it your self)
Pinch of Salt and Pepper
1-2 Table Spoons Sour Cream

Direction:
Wash and dry your potatoes
Using a fork or sharp knife poke a few holes around the potato
Finley chop up the parsley and rosemary
Drizzle some olive oil on the potato and then roll it in the oil
Sprinkle some salt and pepper over the potato, flip over and season again
Sprinkle the rosemary and parsley over the potato and roll it to have each side coated a bit
Place in your oven at 375 for 1 hr
As the potato is cooking dice up a green onion.
Take out and slice down the middle, but not all the way.
With a fork pry the potato open a bit or use your hands to push each side.  Be careful it will be hot!
Using your fork or knife, fluff up the potato insides.
Place two thin slices of butter in the potato.
Shred the extra sharp cheddar cheese over the potato, It will meld down so shred quit a bit.
Place back in the over between 4-6 minutes still at 375 degrees.
Take out again and place a few larger sized pieces of crispy cooked bacon inside. Or you can cumble it up.
Sprinkle the chopped up green onion on the sour cream.

Serve hot and enjoy!


     This side dish is again very easy to make and will taste so much more enjoyable than a potato you microwaved!  Since the potato takes an hour to cook you can still make your main dish.  Once done with some dressing up your potato is set!

     The picture below was one Chef made, it came out great however if you wanted to add more cheese or sour cream you can.  Some pictures you see the potato over flowing with toppings.  We feel this is done to often and can overpower the potato.  Chef however didn't want to to much flavor or take away the taste of the potato so we topped it off at an even level.  We really enjoyed this and was glad Chef let us all try this!
Thank you Chef!

     Try this recipe out we think you will really enjoy it.  Potatoes are great for you, however and if you wish you can not add the sour cream or bacon.  If you are looking for a lighter loaded baked potato.  However we encourage you to go all out.  Loaded baked potatoes deserve it all!  Enjoy the video below and be sure to subscribe to our channel if you like what you see!

Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip

     So there are so many different dips and there are many kinds of Buffalo Chicken Wing Dips you can try.  Today we bring you this one from our a teammate in our IT dept!  She brought us this recipe and pointed out there are so many good recipes right on the backs of many different sauces, marinades and dressings!  This one is brought to you from the back of a Franks Red Hot.  However so you are aware it is not exact, she did make changes.  Remember recipes are like blueprints, read them over then see what you can do differently!  Sometimes you can make something different, sometimes the recipe is perfect they way it is!  

     *Also per our Legal Department:  We are not sponsored by Franks Red Hot Sauce.  However to inquire to be a sponsor please reach out to us!

     It really is very easy to follow and you can put this all together in under an hour.  The biggest part of this receipt is that she uses "real" chicken NOT canned Chicken!  I mean real like we go to the poultry section where the chicken is wrapped and ready to be cooked right away.  She has made this a few times, the one time my co-workers had it and they knew it was made with real chicken not the canned kind.  The plate was emptied very soon.   

Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 40 Minutes
Total Time Just under an hour 

Ingredients:
3/4 lb Chicken (freshly packaged NOT canned) chicken breast
1 package of cream cheese, 8 oz (softened)
Water
1/2 cup hot sauce, (3-4 ounces for boiling & 1/2 cup for mixing.) 
1/2 cup blue cheese
Shredded Mozzarella and Sharp cheese


Directions:
Place 3 pieces of chicken in a medium sized pot.  Do NOT use canned Chicken!
Add enough water to just cover the chicken, then  add about 2 ounces of hot sauce.
Boil the chicken for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked.
Drain the chicken and let cool, then break apart into small pieces
Shred chicken using a small food processor or a knife.
In a medium bowl mix the shredded chicken, cream cheese, hot sauce and blue cheese together.
Place the mixture in a oven safe dish, a pie dish works great.
Spread around and smooth out the surface.
Sprinkle Mozzarella and Sharp cheese on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes
Remove and serve, caution it will be very hot.  (Use a spoon to start the serving per the chips may break on the harden cheese).

Serve with your choice of chips!

     This will make a great office dish to pass or bring this to a party!  Your guest will love it, and using real non canned chicken it will make a difference!  You can also bring this to a party already warmed up, or use their oven.  Either way this will be a hit and putting it together was easy!

     We hope everyone enjoys this recipe and video!  This dish has been used by most of of our staff on several different occasions and each time they say the dish was emptied!  Many people say they can tell "real" chicken was used not canned per it taste so much better.  Chef advises again do NOT use canned chicken per it doesn't taste as good and is very high in sodium.  Use chicken breast you get from your meat section in your butcher shop or grocery store.  

     This appetizer is very easy to make and will be empty before the party is over.  We really hope you try it and share this post and video with others!  We understand if you don't want to however but at least give us credit when trying to steel the recipe.  We do hope you enjoyed this post be sure to watch the video below.  Also check out other great recopies on out main page and be sure to check out those videos featuring our great Chef and our Narrator who thinks he's funny... (Yea we said it)

     PS. After you watch the video, please note... Yes he did get to try some...
