I'm trying desperately to expand my horizons on the dinner front. Usually, I feel that if I'm going to put effort into a cooking/baking venture of some kind it better turn out chocolately (hence the focus on dessert). But I got a little tired of my unimaginative meal rotation, so I started hunting down quick recipes that I can throw together really quickly and everyone will still enjoy. I'm certainly no chef, but I figured there had to be some simple recipes out there that everyone would like. Enter, the one-dish chicken dinner.
It's incredibly easy. And pretty tasty. Everyone approved.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- 1 can Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup
- 1 1/3 cups water
- 3/4 cup uncooked white rice
- 2-3 cups frozen or fresh vegetables
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 4 skinelss, boneless chicken breast halves
- cheddar cheese, shredded
Stir together the soup, water, rice, vegetables and onion powder and pour into a 9x13" glass pan. Top with chicken. Season the chicken as desired (I used a poultry seasoning and some garlic salt). Bake for 45 minutes. Top with cheese. Serves 4.
I found this recipe on a Campbell's Soup ad. And it's really quick and easy and warm. It will probably be a staple this winter. Not only is it comfort food, but it also has meat, grains and veggies in one dish, so it's pretty much a dream for moms with little time for dinner.
