Here's my super simple chicken casserole.





Cook 3-4 chicken breasts in water or stock till cooked through. Set aside and let cool for a few minutes. Turn oven on about 375. In a casserole dish or baking dish, add a can of mixed veggies (more or less or none to taste) with the stock in the can. Add a can of cream of chicken soup and stir the veggies (with stock) and the soup together. Once the chicken has cooled enough to touch, either cut the chicken up a bit or shred into bits with your fingers, and add the chicken to the stock in your baking dish. Add a box of stove top stuffing to the top of the mixture. Pour about a cup to two cups of your chicken stock on top of the stuffing to moisten it, (don't fill the dish too full!) and then bake till the stuffing is browned.
serial chicken. it's named this cause my kids want it to ';strike again';. mix equal part of mayo and sour cream. brush lightly on top of boneless breasts. crush special k and sprinkle on top. drizzle with honey. cook at 350 for about 40 min. we have used many different types of cereal. we like frosted flakes. i also have used jams instead of honey. it may not be totally healthy, but it is good.
Would you consider this healthy?...





Boneless, skinless chicken breast for the amount of people being served.





Lemon, half a lemon per chicken breast.





Garlic, pounded or thinly chopped





Soy sauce.





Pepper.





Clean chicken, put in marinating bowl. Add soy sauce to completely cover chicken. Squeeze lemon fresh over chicken and soy sauce. Pepper mix with however much you want. Add garlic. Mix ingredients either with hands or a large mixing spoon. Marinate for about 2 hours.





Preheat oven to 375. After chicken is done marinating, put into a pan big enough to hold the food, chicken and marinade. Cover with aluminum foil, put in oven for an hour to an hour and a half. Fifteen minutes before whichever desired time is up, remove foil and let it finish cooking the rest of the time uncovered.





I usually marinate the chicken over night so that it absorbs more of the marinade. It tastes better that way. The foil helps with keeping the chicken moist. Also, I usually eat this with some rice and some kind of vegetable. I love this stuff. It's my mother's recipe. :-D
bisquick chicken,recipe is on box!
Do you have a crock pot? I LOVE crockpots, and they make chicken so tender that it falls apart like turkey, only moister. Anyway, you can cook chicken in the cp with just about anything (ie: can of campbells cream of mushroom, a jar of pasta sauce, some chick broth and veggies, etc.) There are endless possibilities. Another good thing is the George Foreman grill, just put some Mrs. Dash on the chick breasts and throw them on the grill, done in about 14 minutes.





Hope this help!! If all else fails, just buy one of those chickens from the store!
If you have a crock pot this is great.





Place 4 or 5 deboned chicken breast in the crock pot. Drain and pour over them


1 can whole kernel corn


1 can black beans


1 jar Pace Hot sauce (I use hot, but it depends on your taste buds)





Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. About 45 minutes before it is down place a brick of cream cheese on top and let it melt into the sauce.





It really is good. Use deboned breast because it is so tender the meat falls off the bones and gets in the way. :)
