I have frozen chicken breast and cream of mushroom soup. What can I make for dinner?

I need simple, on hand ingredients. I have most of the basics - can't go out and get more because no money left for the week. Ideas? You guys always come through for me. :)





THANKS!I have frozen chicken breast and cream of mushroom soup. What can I make for dinner?
My mom used to make a chicken and broccoli casserole that was always a hit with the kids. Steam about two pounds of broccoli and two or three chicken breasts. Shred the chicken into fairly large pieces. Mix two tablespoons of Mayo with two can of cream of mushroom soup (or one can each of cream of mushroom %26amp; cream of chicken). If you have a small can of sliced mushrooms you can stir that in too. Butter the casserole dish then alternate the broccoli, chicken and the mayonnaise mixture. Top with some chopped green onions, bread crumbs, parsley, almonds or whatever you have on hand. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. This goes great over rice, but I'm Japanese so everything goes great over rice!!! I have frozen chicken breast and cream of mushroom soup. What can I make for dinner?
You can, of course alter this to your liking and what you have on hand





Ingredients


1 lb egg noodles


salt


4 tablespoons oil, divided


1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts (or chicken tenders, cut into bite-size pieces)


salt %26amp; freshly ground black pepper


1 lb mushroom (large ones cut in quarters small ones cut in half)


3 tablespoons butter, divided


1 tablespoon flour


2 cups chicken stock, divided


1/2 cup cream or half-and-half


1-2 tablespoon Dijon mustard


chives, chopped


1/4 cup chopped parsley





Directions


1Cook the noodles in salted water according to package directions.





2While the water is coming up to a boil, preheat a large skillet over high heat with oil, about 2 tablespoons.





3Add the chicken, spreading it out in an even layer, and season with salt and pepper.





4Cook 3 minutes on each side.





5In another large preheated skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and add the mushrooms.





6Cook until tender, stirring occasionally.





7Once the mushrooms have browned up, season them with salt and freshly ground pepper.





8Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the mushroom skillet, then add the flour.





9Cook for 1 minute and whisk in 1 1/2 cups chicken stock, the heavy cream and Dijon mustard.





10While the mushroom skillet is coming up to a bubble, add remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock to the skillet with the chicken and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen up the browned bits on the bottom of the skillet.





11Transfer chicken and the liquid to the skillet with the mushrooms.





12Stir to combine, and cook about 1 minute more, or until thick.





13Drain and then return the noodles to the pot and add the 2 tablespoons of butter a little salt, pepper, chives, and parsley and stir to melt the butter.





14To serve, divide the noodles between 4 serving plates, spoon the chicken and mushrooms over the noodles and garnish with chives.
Oh you can prepare a dish easily, if your have rice do a chicken and rice casserole.

If you have pasta make some chicken spaghetti and just adjust the recipe for the ingredients you have on hand, if you have regular cheese, use that and use the cream of mushroom instead of the cream of chicken

Good Luck -Machelle
Saute some onions, celery and garlic. Brown the chicken. Put all in a dish. Mix the soup with 1/4 can milk and pour over the chicken. Top with crumbs. Bake for 30-45 minutes at 350.





You could add white wine, sage, parsley, thyme or poultry seasoning to the soup for flavor. Be sure to add some salt and pepper.





You could also cook the chicken, cut it up and add it to the soup, 1/4 c milk, and some noodles and bake til bubbly. You could add mushrooms, onions, celery or a bag of frozen mixed vegetable to this.
cook the breast in saute pan, cook some pasta according to directions,drain ,,,return pasta to pot, add soup and milk in place of water to thin soup, cut breast in to small pieces , add to pasta, add some veg .Peas are good, mix well, add S%26amp;P a little basil or oregano or both , a little garlic, reheat ,serve with salad or not and a glass of wine and candlelight.
bake your chicken breast till almost done. pour the soup over it as a gravy type thing. serve with mashed potatoes, or pasta and a vegetable.





OR you could make a top of the stove casserole.





Dice the chicken breast and cook. Add a diced potato for each piece of chicken, and cook till done. add a can or bag of vegetables whatever you have, mixed is best. when done, drain and retain broth, mix the soup in, and if necessary add a bit of the broth to the mixture.





serve with biscuits.
thaw the breast, cut it up fry it up in a pan with a little oil an wait til it is slightly browned, chuck the soup in..dinner. Breast in foil with olive oil and dried herbs and some tobasco and sme vegetable or anything you liek rally roast it for 45 mins wraped in foil on 200.


reduce the soup til it is much thicker and pour over roasted chicken breast.
I make that all the time.


I always keep onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. around.


I sweat veggies and some chopped cilantro and the chicken together.


I open a can of green beans and rinse them. Cut them into smaller pieces. Dump them in with the soup and a can of milk.


Simmer and serve...
Do you have rice? Then you've got dinner! Saute the chicken in chunks. Serve over rice and top with the soup. If you have onions on hand, slice and saute those with the chicken. Add a bit of garlic if you like. :)
Thaw the chicken breast and brown it over medium heat. Add the chicken, cream of mushroom soup and a couple of quartered potatoes, bake covered at 350 til taters are done. There ya go!

Just cut up the chicken and mix it together. Maybe some cheese or bread crumbs on top and bake for 30 minutes @ 350
