Whether you are still working through college or are already managing a home and children, time is always short and dinner always needs preparing. This recipe seems to cope with either scenario and tastes good, too.
Fast and Easy Chicken
4-6 chicken breast halves (I'd use boneless, skinless)
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sliced, fresh mushrooms
5 cloves peeled garlic, smashed and diced
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2/3 cup half and half
Brown the chicken in heated butter in a large pan. Remove chicken. Brown mushrooms and garlic. You might need a bit more butter at this point. Stir in the soup and half and half. Add chicken, cover and cook about 20 minutes or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
This sounds like it would be good with new potatoes, and a green salad. I'm making myself hungry!
If the half and half is too rich for your calorie intake, using 2% milk and adding a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed in some water towards the end would thicken it just as well.
If you like a bit of spark to your food, some chili flakes or a good grinding of black pepper would work.
Feeling really adventurous and fancy? A good grating of Parmesan cheese and fresh basil takes this dish to a whole, new level.
