Chicken pot pie cupcakes

This pot pie is one of the easiest meals I've made in a long time. It takes no time at all to have a delicious home cooked meal. I used veggies I knew my husband would like, but you can make these however your family would enjoy. I think next time I'll use broccoli cheese soup and frozen broccoli. Yum.
Ingredients:
1 roll of refrigerator biscuit dough
1 can of cream of chicken soup
2 diced chicken breast (cooked)
1/4 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup frozen corn
1/4 frozen carrots
1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
Place one biscuit in each whole of a muffin pan. Use your fingers to press the dough down and up the sides to create the crust. In a mixing bowl place all the other ingredients. Mix them together and spoon the mixture into the biscuit crust. The mixture should go about a quarter inch above the crust. Bake them for 10 mins at 400 degrees.

Oven fried pickle chips

If you love pickles you may have tried deep fried pickles. I have and can say...I'm in love. Well, to feed my addiction I had to search until I found a guilt free recipe. Using the panko it keeps the crunch, and still feels like you are cheating on your diet. Try them for yourself, you will not be disappointed!
Ingredients:
Small jar of dill pickle slices
2 eggs
1 teaspoon creole seasoning
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1 cup panko bread crumbs

Directions:
In a bowl mix eggs, creole seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and flour. Whisk together. Drain the pickles and toss in egg mixture. After completely coated toss each one in the panko breadcrumbs. Place on a cookie sheet and broil for 3 mins and flip and broil another 3 mins.
