4 cups peas frozen

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.

Melt butter in a dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken, onions, and celery and toss to coat. Sauté for 3 minutes, until chicken is about halfway done, then add the peas and 1 Tbsp olive oil.

Cook for 3-5 more minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat.

Add the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, seasonings, and half of the cheese. Stir to combine.

Transfer to a lightly greased 9 x 13 casserole dish and top with remaining cheese.

What you need:

1 ½ pounds salmon fillet, pin bones removed

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Instructions

Preheat Smoker: Set smoker to 225 degrees using fruit wood (like cherry or apple).

Season Salmon: Season flesh side of salmon with the Dijon mustard, salt and pepper.

Smoke Salmon: Place on smoker and cook until the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 135 - 170  degrees (F).Depending on how you prefer your fish, we cooked ours to athe higher temp side as we prefer it well done, it was still juicy and tender.  If you don’t have a thermometer you can pull back the flesh and make sure the inner portion is pink and not translucent.

Remove from smoker and let sit for 10 minutes. Slice and serve.

Notes

Catering trick: Prior to smoking if you want to portion out the filet, run a sharp knife lengthwise along the salmon filet taking care to not cut through the skin. Then make small cuts horizontally. Then season and cook. When it is done, you can have your servings pulled right off.
