2 Step Chicken Broccoli Dinner

I saw this on Fabulessly frugal Website and saved it a while back. So this week I had some leftover cooked chicken and fresh broccoli and decided to try this one. Actually I made the casserole and put it in the fridge all ready to bake for Randy when he got home. Our kids are getting tired of frozed pizza and chicken nuggets for dinner (or maybe I am just getting tired of it)

Ingredients

1 lb. fresh broccoli, cut into spears
1 1/2 c. cooked chicken, diced
1 can cream of broccoli soup
1/3 c. milk
1/2 c. cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tbsp. dry bread crumbs
1 tbsp. butter, melted

In a shallow casserole dish, arrange broccoli spears on bottom. Top with cooked chicken. Combine soup and milk. Pour over chicken and then sprinkle cheese on top. Toast bread crumbs in a small frying pan with melted butter and then sprinkle over cheese. Bake at 425 for 25 min. Makes 6 servings. Serve with rice.

For ease of making I would give it a 5 star and it had pretty good taste. Healthy would be alot lower, but it is better than chicken nuggets and pizza.

Yum! This sounds like my MIL's chicken divine, only easier! I'll try this speedy version next time. We add a dash of lemon juice and a tsp. of curry powder, which Andrew won't live without...

Pomegranate Syrup

  4 cups pomegranate juice 1/2 cup sugar (I'm trying this with stevia to be more paleo friendly) 1 tablespoon freshly squeeze lemon juice   Place the pomegranate juice, sugar and lemon juice in a 4-quart saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the mixture has reduced to 1 1/2 cups, approximately 50 minutes. It should be the consistency of syrup. Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the saucepan for 30 minutes. Transfer to a glass jar and allow to cool completely before covering and storing in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

Biscuits with Sausage Gravy

Ingredients: 1 pound breakfast sausage, hot or mild 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 3 to 4 cups whole milk, more to taste 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, more to taste biscuits, warmed, for serving Directions: With your finger, tear small pieces of sausage and add them in a single layer to a large heavy skillet. Brown the sausage over medium-heat to medium-low. Sprinkle on half the flour and stir so that the sausage soaks it all up, then add more little by little. Stir it around and cook it for another minute or so, then pour in the milk, stirring constantly. Cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens. (This may take a good 10 to 12 minutes.) Sprinkle in the seasoned salt and pepper and continue until very thick and luscious. If it gets too thick too soon, just splash in another 1/2 cup of milk or more if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Spoon the sausage gravy over the warm biscuits and serve immediately!
