Cheesy Chicken Dip with Mini Croissants

A couple of weekends ago I thought Hmm, what should I make for everyone as a grazing snack, one we can pick at all day. So I looked at what I had in the fridge and whipped this up. I call it Cheesy Chicken Dip with Mini Croissants. It was so yummy, you have to try it!!

Here are the ingredients with measurements:

• Garlic Salt 1 tsp.
• Onion Powder 1 tsp.
• Ground Black Pepper 1 tsp.
• Sea Salt 1 tsp.
• Margarine 1 tbsp.
• Parmesan Cheese 1/4 cup

• Croissant Rolls X2 (any size doesn’t matter)
  
• 2 slices American Cheese (for creaminess)
• Fiesta Blend Cheese 8 oz. (whole pack)
  
  • Grilled Chicken Breast Strips (cut up into bite sized pieces)
• Milk 1/4 cup
• Whipped Cream Cheese 3 tbsp.
• Sour Cream 2 tbsp.
  

   Directions for Mini Croissants:

• Preheat Oven to prepackaged directions
• After rolling out dough cut Croissants into mini triangles about an inch in diameter with pizza cutter, so easy that way!!
• Spread out onto cookie sheet and put into preheated oven. Bake for ONLY a couple of minutes they bake very fast. Mine took about 3-4 minutes so watch the stove the whole time or they will burn. Shown below is what they look like when they come out, puffed and crispy on the bottom. You don’t even have to use a spatula, you just tap the cookie sheet against the top of stove and they pop off.
  

     Now for the Cheese Dip Directions:

• Start adding butter, milk, whipped cream cheese and sour cream, stir with whisk until no lumps left, then dump Fiesta Cheese bag, American Cheese, and Parmesan cheese into pot and bring up to medium high heat, stir until all incorporated.

• Next add chicken chunks, stir again.
• Lastly add in the salt, pepper, garlic salt, and onion powder
• Cook until all the way melted and hot
• This is how it looks after it’s all cooked

   Ok this is so yummy, can I tell you.

 

The finished product, I left it in the mini crock pot I use for dips and man it was amazing. High in calories but the diet starts tomorrow, lol. Well I hope that you try this recipe. It’s so great for a Football party, cold day, Holiday, or just because! Have fun and hey, let me know if you tried it, would love to know what you think, so comment below!! PS: One tip I’d like to add is make more croissant rolls because they go so quickly so I would double the amount to 4 roll tubes.

Enjoy! ~Christina

Day 6 CHALLENGE Hanging Magnetic Makeup Trays

Now believe it or not I have been saving my old cookie sheets (rusty as they are) to do something with them. Well I was thinking of painting them and putting magnetic ABC's on them but my kids probably aren't going to use them as my little guy is almost 6 and knows his ABC's so I came across a blog that had makeup trays made with a frame and metal sheeting, well I thought why not skip a couple of steps use ribbon and aluminum cookie sheets and make my daughter and I makeup trays. I thought when I saw the example it was a genius idea so I wanted to put my original spin on it as usual!

Here's what you'll need:

>Cookie sheets (metal) make sure they are free from debris

>Glue gun

>Glue sticks

>Ribbon, I had black elastic frilly trim (the elastic tends to hide the hot glue, you may want to test on your ribbon whether the glue will show through or not) but you could use whatever you want, usually they have trims in the sewing dept. of a craft store

>Paint, this can be any kind/type I am using Black (used this in the accessory holder a couple of Challenges ago) because it matches the decor I am going to use in my daughters room.

 >Magnets, these should be a decent size so they can hold the makeup onto the tray.

>Makeup you want to display on tray

Directions:

Again make sure cookie sheets are free of debris

Spray paint cookie sheets on front, let dry and do under sides and also let dry

While paint is drying hot glue magnets to back of each makeup piece you have

After the paint is completely dry Hot glue the trim/ribbon all the way around the frame, being careful at the corners.

Attach makeup to the trays and your done.

Attaching to the wall you make a hole with a hammer and hit a nail through it with a piece of wood under it, then use a screw to screw directly into wall to make it hang on the wall or you could sit it on a makeup vanity or desk, it's up to you!!

Hope you have fun trying this out. It was Easy and Fun! I thought they turned out really cute and was so impressed when I was done.
