TGIT Good Eats

Cooking is hard. And cooking takes a lot of work. And probably, if you are going to cook really well you have to go to a culinary school to do it ... right?

WRONG!

Ok, well, it might be hard. But it doesn't have to take up three hours of your time when you get home from work and you don't have to go to school to learn how to do it. I promise. Over the last few years my cooking skills have improved, slowly but surely, to the point that I can now saute a chicken breast without burning it (aren't you impressed?). I know - my culinary skills may be a little intimidating, but fear not reader, I am here to help you get your hands on some ridiculously easy to cook recipes so that you too can one day have the crazy skills that I do.

Tonight crazy easy recipe comes from the interwebs via a google search for "fast dinner recipes". This is the first thing that I found ...

This is so quick and easy because you can use canned chicken.

Chicken Broccoli Rice

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked rice
• frozen broccoli
• 1 can of chicken (like Swanson)
• 1 can of cream soup
• Cubed Velveeta cheese

Preparation:

Mix all ingredients; bake 20 minutes or so at 350 degrees. - Joan

It sounds super easy - and I bet that you would have enough left overs for a few work lunches too, which is another money saver! If I were to cook this (which I probably will, I love recipes that cook up in under 30 minutes) I would probably use real chicken breasts, not the canned kind, simply because the thought of meat from a can kind of grosses me out. But who knows, if I get lazy enough I might just say "what the heck?" and use the chicken in the can.

Next time I go to the store, I will be sure to pick what I need to make this, and I will let you know what I think of it. Have you cooked it yet? Let me know what you thought of it!
