[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 552338, member: 4264"] I've been doing a ton of cooking and getting a bit more adventurous. But I am not always in the mood, or don't always have the time. So I do have a few super easy recipes that my house enjoy. Chicken casserole In a baking pan (I use a larger glass one), place chicken breasts (however many needed). This works even from frozen. I buy the huge cases frozen here at Walmart. On top of each place some white type of cheese (can be omitted). Tastes great with any cheese. I use havarti or Swiss usually but have used mozzarella and tastes great too. In a bowl, mix canned cream soup (I tend to use mushroom but celery, chicken, broccoli work nicely) with milk. I usually use 2 cans and 2 cans worth milk. Dump over the chicken. Top with 1-2 boxes stove top stuffing. Bake until chicken is done and juices run clear. All of under 5 minutes prep. When rushed or just not in cooking mood, I serve with quick rice or boxed mashed potatoes. Add a veggie, even frozen to be super easy. We usually make fresh green beans or broccoli. Another easy one for those packs of pre cut chicken breast strips you mentioned. It takes as long as it takes to boil water and cook pasta. Put pot of water on to boil for noodles. I usually use penne for this recipe. In a large skillet, heat a bit of oil. Add chopped onion, garlic (can make this easier using jarred minced), a chopped green pepper (add other peppers if you like), and pre chopped fresh mushrooms. (canned works in a pinch) When this seems fairly cooked down and tenderized, add in chopped fresh tomatoes (1-2 large ones, depends on how much you like. The tomatoes will make sauce into a rose, blend of tomato and Alfredo). After a few minutes melding, add in chicken pieces. (I cut them tinier but not too small). Once well heated, add a jar of Alfredo sauce. To help sauce not soak into noodles, I add a little extra virgin olive oil too). This will all be done by the time the water is boiled and noodles are cooked. We eat it with those premade garlic texas toast . This pasta ends up tasting like something from a restaurant yet it super easy. If you consider picking up a crock pot, I've got wonderful recipes. Super easy ones. I even make a lasagna that is killer, where you just later ingredients and don't even need to brown the meat. Takes only minutes to get going literally. [/QUOTE]
