Chicken Primavera

4 chicken breasts
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tsp dried tarragon (or 1 tbsp fresh)
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp chopped shallots
1 tbsp olive oil
Whole wheat egg noodles
Fresh Green Beans
Carrots (match stick)
Zucchini (match stick)

Cook chicken in frying pan and set aside. While chicken is cooking, start boiling water for the egg noodles. Saute shallots in oil until they start looking clear. Add lemon juice and cook until almost evaporated (about 1 min). Add cream, chicken broth, and tarragon. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.

While sauce is thickening, steam veggies and add noodles to the boiling water. Once sauce has thickened, add chicken breast. Serve over egg noodles.

Chicken Roll-Ups

Rollups/Pillows/Puffs/Bundles:

2 cups cubed chicken (boiled)
1 8 oz package light cream cheese
4 mushrooms (finely chopped)
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1 pkg Pillsbury crescent rolls
1/2 stick butter (melted)
1 cup chicken flavor stovetop stuffing (finely crushed)

Gravy:

1 can cream of chicken soup
1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup water

Mix chicken, cream cheese, mushrooms and poultry seasoning in bowl. Split mixture into 8ths. Stretch dough and place 1/8 mixture into crescent roll. Seal all edges of the roll. Coat roll in butter and then bread crumbs. Bake at 350 for 13-15 minutes.

Combine ingredients for gravy and heat to simmering (medium).

Freezer directions: Freeze the chicken pillows immediately after you have rolled them in bread crumbs. Then bake at 350 for 15-18 minutes. They don't puff up as well after they've been frozen, but they still taste great.
