Cover and simmer til chicken and vegetables are done, about 12-15 minutes, adding mushrooms during last 5 minutes. Drain, then add rest of ingredients, (except fettuccini), *adding just 1 cup of the cheese. Simmer this on LOW just til heated through, *do not boil or it might separate because of the sour cream. Serve over, (*or mix in), fresh (cooked) fettucini noodles. Top/garnish with last of cheese, and chopped parsley if desired. Cover and let set 3-5 minutes til cheese has melted, or pop into the oven for a few minutes. Serves 4-6.

Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until heated through, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. , Brush 1 side of tortillas with butter; place buttered side down on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spoon 1/3 cup chicken mixture over half of each tortilla; sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese. , Fold plain side of tortilla over cheese. Bake at 375° until crisp and golden brown, 9-11 minutes. Cut into wedges; serve with sour cream and guacamole.

• Dredge each piece of chicken thoroughly with seasoned flour. Fry in hot oil until golden brown. Remove browned chicken to a large baking dish (8x12). Add bacon, carrots, chiles, parsley, bay leaf, thyme, and any remaining seasoned flour. Place lemon slices on top of chicken and pour tomato juice over all. Cover and bake in preheated 350 degree oven til chicken is tender, about an hour. Will freeze ok.
• I have changed the tomato juice to V-8 and add lots more bacon, and about 5 carrots. The lemon slices are very good to eat along with the chicken, so I add 2 lemons.
• We serve this with steamed rice, yummilicious!

Steps:

• In a large pot, add everything but the rice and limes. Cook on high heat, bringing the soup to a boil for about 30 minutes.
• Turn the heat down to low and simmer; add the rice and stir as little as possible until you're ready to eat.
• Optional: add avocado chunks into the soup and stir.
• Enjoy! When ready to eat, serve the soup with juiced lime wedges. The juice adds a good flavor to the soup! =).

Steps:

• Saute onion in butter in saucepan.
• Add next 9 ingredients, mix well.
• Add chicken, cover saucepan.
• Bring to boil; reduce heat.
• Simmer 1 hour.
• Add rice and olives, simmer another hour.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan combine the broth, rice, sauce, and 1 diced onion. Mix and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 20 minutes, or until rice is tender.
• Meanwhile, heat tortillas in a large skillet (so that they are soft enough to fold).
• When rice mixture is ready, spoon equal amounts of the following onto each tortilla: Chicken, shredded Jack cheese, diced onion, olives, rice mixture and beans. Roll tortillas, tucking in sides to prevent filling from spilling over.
• Heat oil in a large skillet and fry the filled tortillas, turning, until browned on all sides. Drain on paper towels.
• To Serve: In a medium bowl combine the avocados, cilantro, lemon juice, green onions, chile peppers and tomatoes. Mash together. Place shredded lettuce on a platter, topped with chimichangas, avocado mix, sour cream and shredded Cheddar cheese.

Steps:

• Shake pepper and thyme on chicken breasts.
• Melt butter in skillet and brown the chicken (do not cook all the way thru because you are still going to put it in the oven).
• Set aside in a baking dish and preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a saute pan, melt butter and saute onion and poblano peppers till soft.
• Take 3/4 of the onion and pepper mixture and place in blender along with a dash of salt.
• Add sour cream and whipping cream to reach a thick consistency (about 1/4 of the carton).
• Turn on blender and puree, leaving some of the texture- set aside.
• Place chicken breasts in a baking dish, squeeze lime juice on each breast, then pour the pureed mixture over them.
• Take the remainder of the peppers and onion and place them on top of the chickens.
• Cover the top with cheese and lightly sprinkle thyme on top of everything.
• Place in the oven uncovered for 25 minutes- the cheese will be starting to brown by then.
• Serving suggestion: With rice!
