Frugal Recipes Readers' Recipes All-in-One Box Dinners I got the idea for this recipe from those "all-in-one-box" dinners they
sell, variations like cheesy rice chicken and chicken and stuffing, I find
absurd that they even exist. For one, you either have to add your own chicken, or you get not so healthy (or flavorful) canned meat (yuck!) and
they charge anywhere from $3-5 for this. Now I have absolutely perfected the Stuffing meal so I will give that one to you, ENJOY! 1 pound chicken breasts, about 3 large 4 small breasts (you can get a bag of skinless boneless chicken breasts for a reasonable price, but its not really that hard to skin and de-bone breasts which will save you a good bit of money) 1 small can cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken, any variety of creamy soup works but make sure the flavor is one you enjoy because it will be a main taste in this meal--my family likes chicken, mushroom, and celery but cheese and broccoli struck out) 1/2 cup milk 1 T. butter or margarine 1/4 c. boiled water (micro waving the water and butter is
convenient - more water for softer stuffing) Prepare a 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray. Mix milk and soup thoroughly in bottom of dish, place raw, cleaned, de-boned and de-skinned chicken breast in soup mixture, mixture should cover chicken just slightly. In a separate bowl mix water and butter gradually with stuffing mix, stir until moist, put stuffing on top of chicken. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until chicken is done (use a meat
thermometer to be sure). Remove foil. Add cheese if desired, and wait until melted, or place back in
oven until crispy.
