Creamy Chicken and Rice
by 365daysofeatingathome
I forgot to post dinner yesterday.
Creamy chicken and Rice.
Can of Cream of Chicken soup
Frozen chicken (I used four breasts)
Put chicken in crock pot. Dump COC on top. Cook on low till done (mine got 8 hours, which was more than it needed).
I make rice in the microwave. Get out as much of the chicken gravy as you can (I got about a cup). Add with enough water to cook your rice (remember – 1 cup rice, 2 cups water). High for 5 minutes, 50% for 17 minutes = perfect rice. I make 2 cups of rice, so 4 cups of water.. is enough to feed my family + leftovers for lunch.
Shred chicken. Fluff rice and dump it into the crock pot.
Serve with hoecakes (previous post) and cooked strawberries.
Cooked Strawberries:
1 lb strawberries, cut up
1/2 c sugar
1 TBSP lemon juice
Cook over high heat, stirring constantly, to about 275* F or until, when you stir, it takes the juice a little bit to go back into formation. Then refrigerate. Or don’t. It won’t gel, because there’s not enough sugar – but it tastes delicious.
I just bought a couple of cut up chickens this morning and this is a perfect recipe I can use this week. Thank you for your posts. I too, am trying to cook all my family’s meals at home.
Laura,
I’m glad you found something you can use. Thank you for your kind words. Making the decision to cook at home can be challenging at times, especially if a family has grown accustomed to eating out more than in. (Mine has.) It’s worth it though – I’ve been doing this two weeks now, my family has lost a little weight – although it’s still not ‘diet’ food – and we’ve saved at least 200.00 over what we would have spent eating out. Yay!
