Otherwise known as clean the pantry out! ;-) We had some chicken that I bought Monday and hadn't used yet so I knew we needed to cook it last night. This week we had already had 2 casseroles so was feeling the need for something a little different. With nothing in mind, decided to make my own skillet chicken! It was very simple, pretty tasty and most importantly easy!
Ingredients:
Chicken breasts
butter
salt & pepper
frozen veggies
can of mushrooms
package of Chicken gravy
1) Melt some butter in your skillet. After salt and peppering your chicken (and any other season you may want), cook your chicken over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes until cooked through. Avoid the urge to mess with it, just let it cook and flip it about half way through.
2) Mix 3/4 cup water with package of chicken gravy. When the chicken is done, remove from skillet. Pour in the gravy and all your veggies. I used a package of mixed veggies (potatoes, red peppers, snap peas) and then added in some carrots and corn and also a can of mushrooms. Bring to a boil.
3) Lower the temp to simmer, add back in chicken and warm for about 5 minutes. Voila!
I served ours with a side of instant potatoes, so this was a fairly healthy meal too!
Only problem I sometimes have with chicken is cooking it through. 2 of my 3 chickens cooked just fine, the bigger one took a few extra minutes. I think I may start tenderizing or flattening the chicken out to see if that helps.
All in all, it was a tasty meal and easy to play around with for some different tastes!
