Okay this dinner was a huge hit...Farmhouse Chicken, with scalloped potatoes, green beans cooked with bacon, and rolls

I got this recipe on line on a site that I like, but of course doctored it up for more flavor

Recipe:
4 tbsp of butter
4 tbsp of flour
2 cups of milk
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
4 celery ribs, chopped...(Mike doesn't like celery so I use celery seed)
1 small onion, chopped ( again Mike doesn't like onion so I use onion powder)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese
Box of chicken stuffing mix

Saute onion, and prepare stuffing according to package then set aside

In saute pan, melt butter and then add flour slowwly whisking to avoid lumps cook one minute. Slowly add in milk, keep whisking to avoid lumps.
Add in seasoning salt, peper, celery salt if using, mix in wine, and cheese. sample to see if needs any more of anything.
Add chicken, celery, onion cook and stir for 5-10 mins until chicken is cooked.
Pour creamy mixture in to casserole dish, top with stuffing, bake uncovered @ 350 for 30 mins

Scalloped potatoes
Recipe:
6tbsp of flour
1/2 cup of dry milk
1tsp onion powder
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups of milk
4 cups of potatoes sliced really thin
1 onion sliced
butter

place flour, dry milk, onion powder ( if using instead of onion) salt and pepper in to a quart jar and shake, then add in cold milk shake again until flour dissolved. In greased 3 quart casserole dish layer potatoes (onions if using) dot each layer with butter. Add the flour-milk mixture bake 325 for 11/2 hours till potatoes are tender to fork.

Variations: Sometimes I add 11/2 cup of cheese to layers, or you can use meat like cubed ham, bacon or
sausage or add all.

Green beans w/ bacon

Fry bacon in a cast iron skillet with little oil, then when bacon crisp add green beans heat through.
