I always intend to keep up with my blogging, but sadly life happens and my dedication waxes and wanes. So...here I am again, dedicating anew! Lots of thoughts floating around that don't necessarily warrant posting, but did want to share one of the recipes that keeps my life as a busy parent relatively sane some days:
Speed dinner prep for busy families
- Some boneless chicken breast
- a deep skillet
- can of cream of mushroom soup (low sodium or fat-free if you like)
- cup of water
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- paprika
These are the ingredients to my family's fave quick dinner, 20 mins max prep time (15 is you're fast). Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium high heat, add chicken until lightly browned (3-5 mins). Meantime, open cream of mushroom soup and whisk together with water (more or less for soupy or gravy). Flip the chicken, add soup mix and sprinkle lightly with paprika. Heat until gravy bubbles and chicken is cooked through.
Serve with your fave side dishes (ours are rice and peas, but would go with noodles, salad, potatoes, veggies!)
Vegetarian alternative: We've substituted baby bella mushrooms, portabella caps and slices and all are just wonderful!
Not Julia Child, but definitely for the "servant-less American cook" ;-)
