Cheesey Italian Chicken

Cheesey Italian Chicken
serves 4
Ingredients:
1 Gallon Ziploc Freezer Bag
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins (you can substitute any chicken meat)
1 cup Italian salad dressing
8 ounces cream cheese
1 can condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
1/2 cup milk
1 medium orange bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 cups cooked pasta or rice (whatever you'd like to serve the chicken with)
1 cup chopped tomatoes (optional, for garnish)
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions:
Gather all your ingredients and place in a Gallon-sized Ziploc Brand Freezer Bag
Now for the fun! Let the kids mix, mash, and get everything combined. Fortunately, Ziploc bags are tough enough to take the torture from kids.:)
That's it! You can follow the instructions below to bake or you can attach a label to it and pop it in the freezer for another day.
I think this would be SO FUN to do as a play date activity! While the moms make up a few batches of these for freezer meals, the kids can play! Plus, you'll have a dinner ready to bake when you go home!
To bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 45-55 minutes until chicken is tender and no longer pink.
Serve over rice or pasta. Garnish with chopped tomatoes and parsley, if desired.
