1 fryer chicken
1 cup cream of chicken soup
1 cup cream of mushroom soup
1 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 lb cheddar cheese

Broil chicken until tender.
Remove, reserving broth.
Remove skin and ones from chicken and cut into bite sized pieces.
Grate Cheese and mash Tomatoes.
Combine chicken, Onions, Cheese, Garlic Salt, Chili powder and Tomatoes.
Drop tortillas into boiling chicken broth until softened.
Line large baking dish with softened tortillas.

Easy Oven Rice Casserole

2 cups rice (long grain)
1 package onion soup mix
4 tablespoons soya sauce
1/2 cup cooking oil
4 cups water
1 can mushrooms (juice included)
salt and pepper

This is a very simple yet delicious rice casserole.
Place the ingredients in a pre-sprayed or greased casserole dish.
If you like you can add frozen vegetables (I prefer peas or corn) in the last 15 minutes of cooking.
Bake at 350 for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring a few times.

Easy Chicken Casserole

1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken and mushroom soup
3-4 chicken breasts
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
Ritz crackers (2 sleeves)
1/2-1 1/2 cup butter

Boil chicken breast until they are white throughout.
In a casserole dish, mix together soup and sour cream.
Tear chicken into small chunks.
Mix with soup-sour cream mixture.
Crush the 2 sleeves of crackers and pour on top of chicken mixture.
Melt butter and pour on top.
Cover and put in the oven at 350F until heated through or when crackers on top are brown.

or

Easy Cheesy Lentil & Rice Casserole

1/4-1/2 cup margarine
1 onion, chopped
1 cup dry lentils
1 cup uncooked rice (, not instant rice)
2 1/2 cups hot water
2 1/2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1 1/2 cups cold water
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 piece sandwich bread
oil
italian seasoning
1 teaspoon parmesan cheese

Use a big pot and cook onion in margarine until soft.
In a bowl, stir together bouillon and hot water.
Add lentils, rice, bouillon-water mixture and cold water.
Bring to a boil.
Lower heat, cover and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, fry both sides of a slice of bread in oil and sprinkle with Italian Seasoning blend.
Cool on rack.
After 25 minutes, rice should be cooked and lentils should be cooked but still firm (not mushy) and there should still be some moisture in the mixture.
Turn stove off and stir 1 cup of the cheese into the mixture until cheese is melted.
Pour mixture into a 9 by 13 pan that has been sprayed with Pam and smooth the top with the back of your spoon.
Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over top.
Crunch up the cooled fried bread with a knife and sprinkle over casserole.
Sprinkle parmesan over casserole.
Bake in preheated 350 oven for 15 minutes or so until cheese is melted.
Let cool slightly before serving.

Healthy sandwich recipes?

Q. Any really healthy sandwich recipes? NOTE: I'm on a diet, so no fattening things! PS NOTE: I'm 14, keep it easy. Something that I can take to school!
NOTE: I don't eat pig at all. Also I don't want meat/chicken in it xx


Answer
Choose whole wheat bread, because it's more nutritious than white bread, plus it keeps you feeling full for longer.

Add some salad (lettuce, sliced tomato and cucumber, for example) and then a sliced boiled egg, some smoked ham (or a non-meat alternative, something in slices) or some sliced low-fat cheese, then add some low-fat mayonnaise or salad dressing. Wrap the sandwich in foil to keep it really fresh. You can also take an apple or orange.

Make sure the salad makes up half the filling though, because that bulks out the sandwich and is almost calorie-free. If you want to make something you can scoop into the salad, you could finely chop some celery and onion, and stir it with reduced-fat salad dressing plus a can of tuna or some chopped boiled egg, and use that.
