Chicken Pot Pie Cupcakes & Chocolate Loaf Cake!

Wednesday, August 20, 2014

Everytime I post a photo of these on Instagram I get asked for the recipe so I wanted to share this here. I've been making these for a little bit now that I found on Cupcake Fanatic. My kids absolutely love these, and actually request them. They are super quick to make and easy! I will even be making them to send to school for their lunches, that's how much they love them!

Ingredients:
2 cups of cooked chicken breasts diced
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup frozen mixed veggies
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 tablespoon of  dried thyme
1/2 tablespoon of dried basil
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 (10 oz) cans Pillsbury biscuits

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400.
  2. In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, frozen veggies, cheese, herbs and spices.
  3. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin and place the Pillsbury biscuits into each cup, pressing into the bottom and up the sides.
  4. Evenly spoon the pot pie mixture into each biscuit cup. Slide into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Check at the 12 minute mark.

 Easy, Yummy and a huge hit with the kiddos! Need something for dessert? Why not try a chocolate loaf cake or two! My Grandma had this recipe in her book when she passed away and I got it, so I've been making it ever since. I'm not sure where she got the recipe but its delicious and super moist and good!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups applesauce
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Frosting: You can make any you want, I sometimes don't put a frosting on, but if I do it's usually a quick one I search online. The one above was leftover I had from cupcakes (and a jar! oops haha)


Directions:

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar. Add melted chocolate chips, eggs and vanilla; mix well. Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with applesauce. Fold in miniature chocolate chips. Divide batter into 2 loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

    1. The portion size is a little small for me because I eat like a pig, but I could just have 3 or 4 of them and be good ;)
