1c. flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1-2 tbsp. sugar

1 egg

Lightly whisk wet and dry ingredients together(don't overmix-leave lumps). Just cook on frying pans at a medium to medium low heat with a dash of Pam each time. These are light and just good pancakes. I prefer warm syrup with powdered sugar-delicious! My kids love em and they're easy and quick!

Moms Chicken Divan
Layer bottom of 9x13 pan with steamed broccoli cooked al dente-about 5 min. It usually takes about 2 crowns of broccoli-or you can use frozen. Next put 1/3 of the sauce mixture over broccoli. Next take about 4-6 cooked, cubed or shredded chicken breasts and cover broccoli. Then layer the remaining sauce on top of the chicken and cover with cheese. You can do cheese and bread crumbs too.
Sauce mixture is 2 cream of chicken, 1 cream of celery (or 3 cream of chicken), 1 1/2 c. mayonaise( I use light), 2 tbsp lemon juice and mix all together with whisk.
Cook steamed rice or noodles to put mixture on top of. Ryan prefers to put the chicken divan in flour tortillas. It's also good to cook the white rice in chicken broth(same amount as water) or use chicken flavor rice. All good.

Katies Chicken Pot Pie
Cook 4-6 chicken breasts(boil or I prefer to cook in oven at 350 for 28 min brushed with olive oil and salt and pepper-way more flavor). Let chicken cool some and cut up in cubes or bigger shred clumps.
Sauce: Dice 1/2-1 sweet onion. Season with some salt and pepper. Saute until translucent(clearish) in a couple tbsp butter and little olive oil. Once sauteed(about 7 min on med) add 3 cups warm chicken broth(nuke in microwave). Add 5 tbsp flour-warm chicken stock or broth will help the flour mix in without clumps. Stir and cook a few min and then add 1 can cream of chicken soup-mix and cook on low about 5 min.
Veggies: Peel n Cut up 4-7 potatoes and 4-7 carrots(amount personal preference) and cook in boiling water until al dente(soft but with a firmness still). Drain. In large bowl mix chicken, veggies and sauce mixture. Add a cup or two of frozen peas. Usually needs some more salt and pepper-taste. Mix it up gently so veggies stay whole. Put in 9x13 pan sprayed with pam.
Crust: I have used frozen pie crust or pastry crust-both good. I've also made homemade pie crust which is the best. We also like jiffy cornbread(usally 3 boxes) as a topping-just mix according to box directions and pour on top. I usually cook at 400 like box says and then 375 until crust completely cooked. The jiffy cornbread gives it a sweetness-fun and different.
Time management: 1. put chicken in to cook. 2. Get veggies in to boil. 3. Make sauce. 4. Pie crust. It would be really good with crust on the bottom too. I usually make more so I can freeze one-freezes great. There's lots of good chicken pot pie recipes out there-this is a combo of 3. Bon appetit!

Katie's Healthy Soup (SO GOOD)
Cook 3 chicken breasts-I just cook it in a skillet in smaller pieces with olive oil and a little salt and pepper till browned.
K, in soup pan put 4 cans of low sodium chicken broth. Then put in a diced up medium onion, cut up 3-4 carrots and 3 potatoes. Let thos all cook until veggies are softening. Then add 2 cans of Italian style diced tomatoes(gotta be italian style-gives the soup it's great flavor). Then add the chicken and cut up two zucchinis and add-soup is ready when the zucchini softens. It's so delicious. You could eat it with soft wheat bread or homemade wheat rolls for added treat or put rice in it. I think the rice was great for the kids to thicken it up. We used brown rice and the kids loved it! You can add a little salt to the soup too and I add a decent amount of pepper.
