Super Easy & Delicious Dinner with many variations!

As I was struggling the other day trying to think of something to make for dinner my friend recommended I try this and after trying I am now a HUGE fan! It is delicious and super simple. Not to mention you can make many different variations of it.
Sorry no pictures..I'm always a slacker on that one. Next time I make this if I remember I will take a picture and post it.

Chicken with Scalloped Potatoes Casserole

Wash and peel your potatoes (I used 4)
Slice your potatoes as thin as you can (the thinner they are the quicker they cook)
Place them in your pyrex baking dish (grease the dish first, of course!)
I then cut up 2 whole chicken breasts into smaller pieces (we like it bite-size rather than a big chunk of breast)
Place on top of the potatoes then season with salt and pepper.
In a separate dish mix whatever cream of soups you like/want. I used 1 can cream of mushroom and 1 can cream of chicken.
Add a cup of milk and mix well then pour over top of the chicken and potatoes in the baking dish.
Bake at 350 degrees for approx 1 hour.

Hope you enjoy this dish as much as we did!

The variations you can make are the types of soup you use or instead of chicken you can use pork chops or instead of potatoes you can use rice! I have to admit this is my new favorite home cooked meal!

Chicken Fried Rice

Delicious, fast, easy, and a big hit with the little kids I've made it for. They ALL loved it.

Ingredients:
2 c. cooked rice
2 eggs
1 lb. chicken breast
1-2 T. oil
1/2 small bag frozen peas & carrots
Soy sauce to taste


First, put your rice on to cook if you haven't. Next put the oil in a frying pan to heat up at medium low-medium heat. Cut up chicken into whatever size desired. Add to oil and let cook until no longer pink (5-10 minutes). Drain off any extra oil. In a separate bowl, scamble the eggs. Push chicken to one side of the pan, and pour eggs in on the other side. Cook eggs until mostly done. Add the cooked rice and frozen peas and carrots and mix together. Mix in soy sauce to taste. I don't like soy sauce very much, so I probably only added 1/2-1 t. Turn stove to low and let warm all the way through.

Enjoy!
