Easy mini chicken pot pies:
2 cans of refrigerated biscuits (8 count each can)
1/2 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast (approximately 1 large breast)
1 bag frozen peas and carrots
1 can cream of chicken soup
Cooking spray for pan
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray muffin tin with cooking spray
Chop chicken into small bite sized pieces. Cook over med-high heat until no longer pink. Add any spices desired (I use garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt but you can use whatever you like) remove from heat
Stir veggies and soup into pan with chicken. Set aside.
Open biscuits and flatten to make thin enough to fit into cups. Fill biscuits with chicken mix and bake at 350 for 30-35 min or until biscuits are golden brown.
If you only use 1 can of biscuits, keep recipe the same and the unused portion of chicken mix can be frozen for up to 2 months to use as a second meal.

Garlic Shrimp Pasta 🥘
1 lb medium shrimp, deveined and tails removed
1 lb spaghetti noodles (more or less, depending on family size)
6 -8 garlic cloves, according to personal taste, minced
1/4 cup butter
olive oil (3 drizzles)
italian seasoning
fresh ground pepper
red pepper flakes
salt
herbs (according to taste)
1 Boil pasta in water till tender, save 1 cup of pasta water for use later. I always put some oil, salt, and fresh herbs in with my pasta when I boil it. Drain and set aside when done.
2 While pasta is boiling, wash shrimp.
3 Melt butter over medium heat. Add shrimp.
4 Let cook till a little pink and starting to curl. Then add garlic.
5 Cook 5-7 min., add oil. Continue to stir till shrimp is pink and curled.
6 Add pasta to skillet. Add seasonings. Add just enough saved pasta water till it is not dry but not swimming in liquid either. Depending on amount of pasta this requires 1/2 the cup or all of it. Start with adding 1/4 of it then work up from there.
7 Keep tossing all ingredients around in skillet till all is incorporated and hot.
