Chicken 'N Rhodes Pot Pie

Fior the past 2 nights I have been trying to make a Chicken 'N Rhodes Pot Pie. Let me explain how things went down.

Night 1
I had pulled everyhting out of the freezer that morning to be ready for when I got home. I pulled out 10 Rhodes Texas Rolls and 2 halves of chicken breasts. When I arrived home, the rolls had been thawed and raised and the chicken was still cold and ready to boil. Ryan had chopped up potatoes for me and had them ready to be boiled as well as the carrots and peas. Well I got almost everything ready, everything boiled and getting ready to put it all together when i grabber the dough and it had hardened on the top making the dough, when kneaded, chunky and unusable. Now frustrated that my Pot Pie wasn't going to work, Ryan made some soup with the chicken and we still had a pretty good meal, despite my failed efforts.

Night 2(Tonight)
I grabbed the new Rhodes Rolls that I was going to need and took them to work so I could keep an eye on them as the thawed out later in the day. I knew that a full 9 hours was too long to leave them out so at 12:00 I pulled out the rolls and let them thaw. It only took until 1:15 for the rolls to be ready to be molded and combined (I will never leave rolls out that long again!). I soon noticed that they seemed to be getting bigger and raising too much. I was able to knead them down and put them back in the fridge until I was ready. When I arrived home it took me some time to roll out the dough to have the bottom of my pie. With a glass cup and some PAM I think I did a pretty good job. I then finished off the inner workings. With Ryan's help, we were able to finish this masterpiece of a Chicken 'N Rhodes Pot Pie! I must say that I can follow a recipe pretty darn good!

This recipe came from the Fresh Ideas below, PG 89, Chicken 'N Rhodes Pot Pie.

Oreo Balls

These have to be my most favorite treat out there right now! They are very simple and quick to make.

Prep Time: However long it takes you to get home from the store.
Cook Time: Fridge for 10 Minutes
Total Time: 35 Minutes

First here is your full list of ingredients that you will need:
1 Pkg- Oreos (These can be double stuffed, mint, golden, whatever you want)
1 8oz- Cream Cheese
1/2 cup - Chocolate chips

What you will need for making:
Chopper (or something to crush up the oreos)
Cutting board (if needed)
Mixer (or your hands will work)
Small Scooper (or use hands)
2 Ziplock Baggies ( you can use a bowl and spoon if desired)
Tray to searve
Scissors
Microwave



First we begin with the oreos and cream cheese. I like to have my cream cheese warm up to room temperature. It makes it easier to mix.


Our Mixer


Chopper and cutting board


Depending on the size of your chopper, place the oreo cookies in your chopper until chopped smooth.





Once it is to the consistency you want, add to the mixer


Now take take your cream cheese and add dollop sized amounts to the mixer with the oreos



Mix until it is mixed through out.



Now take your scoop and your tray and scoop out the oreo cream cheese mixture and place it on the tray in whatever configuration you desire.




Now get your 1/2 cup of chocolate chips ready and place it in one of the ziplock baggies. Then place the one baggie in the other. Place this in the microwave for 30 second intervals until chocolate is melted. Please NOTE: Do Not Burn Your Chocolate!

Once melted, cut the corner of both bags. (I didn't have scissors handy at that moment so a leatherman works great)


Pull the chocolate to that corner and begin to drizzle the chocolate over the oreo balls.


Then you are ready to put these into the fridge for 10 minutes



These will be a hit to any party that you take them to! Please post below with any tips or how yours turned out. Please let me know if you have any questions and I will reply as soon as I can. Thanks and Enjoy!
