    Chicken Parmigiana Quesadillas With Cheesy Marinara Rice... Publix

    http://www.publix.com/aprons/meals/MainDish/SimpleMeal.do?mealId=3220&mealGroupId=1004


    This is so quick... the recipe says 30 min but if you make a salad and not the rice... it's 15-20.

    Ingredients
    10 ounces frozen breaded chicken tenders or strips
    8 medium-size flour tortillas
    cooking spray
    1 cup shredded Italian-blend cheese, divided
    1 1/2 cups tomato pasta sauce with olives, divided

    Steps

    Preheat two-sided tabletop grill. Place chicken tenders on plate (may be paper). Microwave on HIGH 3¿5 minutes or until heated. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces.
    Lightly coat one side of the tortillas with cooking spray. Arrange 4 of the tortillas on clean work surface (sprayed side down). Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the cheese over each tortilla, then one-fourth of the chicken. Spoon one-fourth of the marinara sauce over the chicken; then sprinkle with 2 more tablespoons of the cheese. Cover each with remaining tortillas (sprayed side out).
    Place one or two quesadillas on grill (depending on size of grill). Cook 4¿5 minutes or until golden. Let stand 2¿3 minutes before cutting. Cook remaining quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve.
    Note: Quesadillas may be cooked in large sauté pan preheated on medium. Double cooking time, turning once.

    EASY BBQ Shredded Beef Sandwiches

    Ingredients:
    1-2lbs shoulder roast of beef
    1/2 a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce

    Lightly sear beef roast on all sides in a frying pan to lock in juices and flavor.

    Transfer beef to slow cooker and pour BBQ sauce over roast until it looks like it is completely covered. Set temp on low.

    After 4 hours of cooking, with a fork, gently pull meat apart inside the slow cooker. This is fairly easy, two forks (no knife) will do the job. When your done it should be chunky not fully shredded.

    Then continue cooking another 2 hours.

    Serve on bakery sandwich rolls, or texas style, thick bread that has been toasted.

    Note: The longer you cook, the tender it will be, but at six hours mine was fabulous! Also, if you do cook longer than six hours add water (1/4 cup), so the sauce doesn't burn.
