What should I cook with cream of mushroom chicken and mashed potatoes?

My mom doesnt think I appreciate her, so I decided to cook dinner for her and i wanted to make cream of mushroom chicken and mashed potatoes but I need one more side...any suggestions??





But can we keep it simple because I'm only 15 and I can't really cook.

This might be a wall of text but read through it then write out the steps without details and it can't be any easier.


Step by step instructions:


1. Throw the chicken onto the hot frying pan.


Details:( you have to cut the chicken apart. Legs, wings, chest.. etc.) Don't forget to use a spoon full of oil or two depending on how old your frying pan is.


And let any meat you fry or cook warm up to room temperature.


2. After one minute add a glass of hot water to the chicken.


Details: Usually it takes one glass to cover half of the chicken in water, adjust how much hot water you pour into the frying pan according to how much chicken you have.


3.When the water is boiling add sour cream into the boiling water. And turn the heat down so it would boil slowly onwards.


Details: don't worry if at first you'll see only white lumps it will look nice once it has boiled for a little. Like a sauce.


4. add salt and pepper.


Details:Since you are inexperienced. Add only 1/2 of a teaspoon full of pepper. And salt little by little. Taste, add, taste, add if needed. If you are unsure if more needs to be added then you got it right and need to stop adding.


5. Cover the pan and let it braise for 25-30 minutes on a low flame(The sauce or water has boil).


Depending on how big the chicken pieces are of which we are talking here.


Details: you wont need to turn or do anything to the chicken while it braises. And while braising it can't burn. So it should be semi-fool proof.


When the chicken is ready and the sour cream has lumped onto the sides of the pan(what it usually does) then simply stir it into the sauce with a spoon and your done.





Now to the potatoes. Boil-em, mash-em, fry-em, throw-em, grill-em, put them into a stew, punch-em, kick-em, drug-em, slice-em, dice- em. You can't go wrong.





Make salad using cucumbers, sour cream, tomatoes and dill.


Slice the vegetables and other plants in question into nice edible pieces and add a nice amount of sour cream onto them then stir em up.


If you add some white or black bread and berry/green tea to the meal you will be dining healthy and yummy.








phew... i tried to do my best explaining and when i cook that then it turns out to be tasty.
S%26amp;P then cook your chicken meat in a skillet w/ a little butter. Top w/ cream soup and let it get hot, to make a gravy. If you have some sour cream, stir a dollop of that in for flavor, and maybe 1/3 cup water. Add some garlic and onion powder for seasoniing. Serve chicken and gravy alongside mashed potatoes, w/ some of the gravy on the potatoes.
If you have canned carrots available you can just open the can, pour them (don't drain) (2-3 cans are plenty) into a saucepan. You can put about 6 or 7 packets of splenda, equal, etc in them and heat them up. I promise this is delicious and the easiest think in the world to cook. I had almost the exact combination you're planning and this was the perfect mix.
pretty much any kind of veggie would be good, but not corn. something that isn't a starch. you could make a green salad, that is only tomatoes, lettuce and maybe green onions, radishes. oh my now i am hungry. good job on the mushroom chicken. and for next time on the mashed potatoes, try cooking some broccoli in with the potatoes and then mashing them both with a little milk(cream) and butter. nummmers
Definitely a green vegetable to give some color, variety, and nutrition. Try green beans. Or to add more variety, try a vegetable blend like broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. Hope the meal comes out great! And I hope your mom likes it. Good luck with your relationship with your mom.
I agree with everyone who said something cold to offset the two cooked portions. A side salad would be perfect, maybe like a spring mix with a vinaigrette (olive oil, balsamic or apple cider or wine vinegar, salt %26amp; pepper if you don't have a pre-made one), and any toppings you like (cucumber, tomato, dried cranberries, walnuts, sunflower seeds...)
My first reaction was to say green beans. Something green to offset the heavy chicken and gravy and potatoes. I would go with asparagus, green beans, or some lighter vegetable dish. Nothing fancy. Just steamed or broiled or however you are capable.
Choose any fresh green vegetable (zucchini, broccoli) and cook it in the microwave for a few minutes. Or a salad, those come in a bag





You're a great daughter!
Green beans, but make it super yummy, and throw a couple pieces of bacon in there. Start your green beans first, and cook them the whole time everything else is cooking so they'll be tender and super yummy!
green bean casserole.





scalloped corn








or just any vegetable in a kettle,





you have a great meal, she is going to appreciate it for sure.
put the cream of mushroom chicken soup on some browned ground beef. Also add onion dip mix and sour cream. Now put this on the mashed potatoes and you have the best stroganoff there is.
Good for you trying though.


What you need is something to add colour %26amp; crunch.


Carrots, Broccoli, Green Beans, Green Peas, Pickled Beets, etc.
Green beans or green peas -- add a little butter while heating and it will be delicious. You are very thoughtful and I bet your mom will appreciate your efforts VERY much.
Since you are serving two hot dishes, I would recommend something fresh and/or cool to accompany it.





Cut up some fresh fruit, or make a salad.





Good luck!
