Mealtime Monday: Kim's Chicken Surprise

Kim's Chicken Surprise
This morning brings the first installment of our Meal Ideas. I'm starting off with an extremely versatile family favorite that provides an easy prep and clean up. You can adjust this recipe to meet the needs and desires of your family.

Ingredients:
3-4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup onion
1 can vegetable of choice (We really like corn or green beans. You can also use frozen- those are the best peas to use).
1 can condensed cream of or condensed tomato based soup. (This depends on what you have and what you have a taste for)
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp lemon juice

Instructions:
Start with a saucepan. Sauté onions with a small amount of butter. Add your vegetable of choice and warm through. Add condensed soup with 3/4 can of water or milk (based on your preference) and bring to boil. Lay chicken breasts over top and salt and pepper to taste. Add lemon juice over chicken and simmer covered for 20 minutes.
While that is cooking, prepare mashed potatoes, rice or pasta. Serve chicken and vegetable mixture over the starch of choice and Enjoy. :-)

  2. I can be healthy if you make healthy choices. The tomato base is a healthier option as well as selecting brown rice. If you select a cream of soup, you can use the healthier ones to help lower your points. I will be including future recipes that are healthy as well :-) Thanks for asking!
