Answer 2

I use boneless skinless chicken breasts. I brown them with salt and pepper and a little garlic salt then put them in a baking dish. I cover the chicken with cream of chicken soup and bake for 1/2 hour then I make the dumpling recipe on the box of Bisquick and add that to the top of the simmering dish and bake as directed ending up with browning them. I always serve these with a green vegetable (peas or green beans or broccoli, or Brussels sprouts). It is great for a good comfort food dinner and it is so easy.

Answer 3

This is simple, but tastes like you spent all day at it!


Lime Chicken

4-6 pieces of chicken (I like the white planks, but have also used thighs with the bone in)
Salt
2 pkgs. Ramen Noodles
¼ cup margarine
¼ cup lime juice
Salsa
Shredded cheese
1 – 16 oz can chicken broth

Heat oil in skillet over high heat. Quickly brown the outside of the chicken, but do not cook completely. Salt chicken lightly. Prepare Raman noodles as instructed on package, and pour them into a baking dish. Heat butter and lime juice together until butter is melted, and pour over chicken. Place a small amount of salsa on each piece of chicken. Sprinkle generously with cheese. Pour 1 cup of chicken broth around chicken. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Answer 4

I saw this recipe on 30 minute meals and it was so good! It's relatively easy, if you need to make it in a big hurry you can chop all the veggies ahead of time. I also used regular spaghetti instead of bucatini.

Combine chicken, garlic, ginger, scallions, finely chopped red bell pepper, hoisin and salt and pepper. Roll meatballs into the size of chicken eyeballs. Place balls on a nonstick cookie sheet and coat lightly with vegetable oil, about 1 1/2 tablespoons. Roll balls around with your hands to gently coat with the oil. Roast the chicken eyeballs 10 to 12 minutes in a very hot oven.
About 5 minutes from the meatballs coming out of the oven, start stir-frying the veggies. Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the sliced red bell pepper, carrots, spouts and pea pods to hot pan. Stir fry 1 minute, then drain noodles and add them to the vegetables. Add dark soy sauce to the noodles and toss to combine and evenly coat.
Transfer noodles to a serving platter and top with chicken eyeballs.

You can buy hoisin sauce at a WinCo, look in asian section.

Answer 5

SALMON PATTIES

A tin of pink salmon or buy fresh salmon and poach it (steam it) until cooked.

In a bowl, mash up the salmon, add one or two eggs, breadcrumbs or crushed crackers, half an onion that is finely diced, teriyanki or soy sauce for addtional flavor.
Mash up with a fork, add more breadcrumbs if necessary. Mixture should be moist but not too thick.

Then heat up a frying pan and add a half cup of olive oil. Make small flat patties in your hand, dip them in breadcrumbs and add to pan. When golden brown, turn over until cooked. Then place them on paper towl to remove excess oil. Takes only a few minutes and O so delicious. I promise.
