Mushroom Chicken and Rice

Easy 1 pan recipe.

1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 cans milk
1 1/2 c. rice
Chicken Breasts
1 packet onion soup mix

Preheat oven to 350. Place rice and chicken in 9x13 pan. Mix cream of mushroom soup and milk together, pour over chicken and rice. Sprinkle onion soup mix over the top, cover and bake for 45 minutes or until chicken is done and rice is tender.

Cranberry Chicken

Huge favorite at our house.

1 can whole cranberry sauce
1 bottle french dressing (or 8 oz if you want the sauce thicker)
1 pkg onion soup mix

Chicken breasts (as many as you want in the pan)

Place chicken in 9x13 pan, pour sauce over and bake uncovered @ 350 for one hour or until chicken is done. Serve over rice.

Another variation is to use 1 cup of Apricot Jam instead of the cranberry sauce and it tastes kinda like orange chicken.

Cream of Chicken Soup

When I was on a modified diet, I needed to find a way to use all my recipes that had Campbell's Soup in them... Found this recipe on the internet somewhere. I even like it better than the canned soups and it comes in handy when I don't have any around!

Cream of Chicken (or anything) Soup

1 c. cold milk
2 tbls. cornstarch
1 1/2 tbls. butter
1 tsp. chicken bullion
1/2 tsp. salt
dash of pepper

Wisk milk and cornstarch in saucepan on medium heat until blended. Stir in butter, bullion, salt and pepper then heat to boil, stirring frequently. Simmer on low 1 minute till thick.

Mushroom soup - add 4 oz can mushroom pieces drained (I like to chop them a bit more)
Chicken soup - can add 1/2 c. cooked chicken pieces
Celery soup - 1/2 c. sauteed chopped celery

Yield: "1 can" of cream soup... I just add just over a cup of milk when a recipe calls for a "can" of soup and a "can" of milk.

Country Chicken

This is a favorite at our house and very fast to prepare:

Combine these ingred. in a ziploc bag:

1 Cup Flour

2 tsp Paprika

2 tsp Season salt

1 tsp pepper

Shake of Garlic powder, basil, and oregano. Mix well.

In a bowl combine 1 beaten egg and 1/2 cup milk.

Have 1 cube butter melted in 9x13 pan.

I use 2 chicken breasts, cut up into strips or 2 inch pieces. Take chicken and dip in egg mixture and then in the baggie. Shake to coat chicken. Put chicken in buttered pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Can be recoated with spices, or just turned over and cooked for an additional 10 - 20 minutes.

Served with mashed potatoes with country gravy (not pictured), green beans and a biscuit.
