Ok, here is my menu for this week, including recipes!
Monday: Smother Chicken & Green Bean Skillet (Kraft Food & Family Magazine)
Homemade Bread
4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 cups frozen green beans
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves
1 Cup shredded cheese
Heat large skillet. Add chicken; cover. Cook 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet.
Add beans, soup, 1/2 C water and thyme to skillet; cover. Cook 6 minutes, stirring often.
Return chicken to skillet; cook 1 minute or until hot. Top with cheese.
***With meals that call for whole pieces of chicken I usually just dice the chicken and cook it that way. It helps to make the chicken go a little farther with my large family. I also usually use canned green beans, just because I don't really like frozen green beans. I don't know why! I like any other veggie frozen!

Wow, awesome menu. It's great that you post all the recipes. I'd like to try the smothered chicken & green bean skillet, but my husband doesn't really green bean casserole), so I don't know if this would go over well either. Maybe I could add some other things to it, so that it would be acceptable.
Mmmmm thanks for the recepi's
So the smothered chicken wasn't good? hmmm...that's odd; I have made chicken before and used cream of mushroom soup as a gravy, and that was pretty good, and cheese makes anything better. Was the problem with the beans, the soup, or the whole thing? Because I've gotten some green beans before that had very little taste, and they would not be in something like this!
PS - Thanks for visiting me!
