SUNDAY: Bourbon Chicken – I discovered this recipe a few years ago and it’s still a hit every time I make it!

MONDAY: French dip sandwiches (slow cooker) – This is a super easy, tried and true recipe that my family LOVES!!!

TUESDAY: It’s my mom’s birthday and we’re having a family dinner!

WEDNESDAY: Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole – My sister came up with this recipe a few years ago. It’s super easy to throw together!

THURSDAY: Cowboy Casserole – This is how we use our leftover meat from french dip sandwiches! It’s easy to throw together and as an added bonus, the kids like it!

FRIDAY: Chicken & dumplings (slow cooker)

Ingredients:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2-3 carrots, sliced
2-3 celery stalks, sliced
1 onion, diced
1 can chicken broth
1 can cream of chicken soup (I use 98% fat free)
1 tsp salt, optional
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper
paprika
2 pkg refrigerated biscuit dough, torn in pieces (I only use one)Place chicken, vegetables, soups & seasonings in crockpot and fill with enough water to cover. Cover with lid and cook on low 5-6 hours. About 30 minutes before serving, place the torn biscuit dough into the crockpot. Cook until the dough is no longer raw in the center. NOTE: If I don’t have time for the biscuits to cook in the slow cooker, I just cook them in the oven and then tear up the biscuits and add them.

SATURDAY: Baked chicken chimichangas – This is a new recipe for us. I didn’t get a chance to make them last weekend, but I can’t wait to try them!
