Broccoli Rice Casserole
1 can of condensed cream of broccoli soup
1 cup water
3/4 cup uncooked rice
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 chicken breasts (or pieces)
1 pinch Paprika
Broccoli
Velveeta or shredded cheese
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Stir together the soup, water, rice and pepper in an 11 inch casserole dish. Top with chicken breasts. Sprinkle with paprika and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and on the outer rim of the casserole dish, surrounding the chicken, place your broccoli pieces and sprinkle with the shredded cheese or pieces of Velveeta. Return to oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, Make sure that your chicken is at 165 degrees on the meat thermometer. (NO PINK AT ALL)

Balsamic Chicken
Broccoli
Chicken
Cream of chicken soup
Cream of mushroom soup
1 soup can of milk
Velveeta (1/4 of bar)
3 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar (or to taste)[we like lots]
3 tablespoons Worchestershire Sauce (or to taste)[we like lots]
Butter, margarine, or Pam Spray
Cut chicken into bite size pieces and season with salt and pepper. Stir fry in a pan with the butter, margarine or Pam the chicken until the edges are crisp tender and the chicken is done. Remove from pan the pieces of chicken and set aside.
To the pan, add the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, milk and velveeta and stir to get all ingredients combined and smooth. Once smooth, add the Balsamic Vinegar and Worcestershire Sauce TO YOUR TASTE. This is an important step because in our family we love the strong taste of the Balsamic and Worcestershire. After the sauce changes to that nice deep rich color from the last two ingredients, add your chicken back and simmer until hot through. Serve over rice with a side of Broccoli. I suggest a salad as well, since this is a very starchy meal.
And there you have it folks....2 "meals" using the 3 requested ingredients. If you have a set of ingredients, please let me have a go at it. I love coming up with menu suggestions.
