I just made this for dinner tonight, and I was going to post it, and here it is! I found this recipe in a Betty Crocker Soups, Stews, and Chilies magazine that I have, and it is really good, and SO easy to throw together. I said that dinner would be ready in 30 minutes, and it wasn't even that long! It says 4 servings, but I didn't serve it with bread or anything, so we only got two servings from it. This is an awesome recipe to use when you have only 3 chicken tenders left from a honkin' huge bag from Sam's club (like I did). I just cooked them plain (unseasoned) yesterday, and chopped them up tonight to throw in here! My husband commented that this was like a "fancy chicken noodle soup," and that is exactly how I would describe it. It's delicious. -
So simple and good. I made this as directed, but realized when we were 1/2 way thru eating it that I forgot to add the tomato, lol. Since it was already chopped on the counter, we added it at the very end. That iewe for sharing such a simple and tasty recipe. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am the mother of three, wife of one :)
My teenager is the pickiest eater in the world, while my 3 year old will eat anything (though has been acting more and more fickle lately). Our newest addition was born in June 2008, so she doesn't really know much in the way of varieties of food. My husband says "I don't care what you fix, as long as it has meat in it."
I have thousands of recipes saved on my computer from over the years, and am constantly on the lookout for new ones. I also seem to have accumulated hundreds of cookbooks over the years. I am (slowly) trying to go thru all the recipes I have saved and add them to 'Zaar, but this will take some time. I try to only post things that my family (or I) will eat (though I haven't necessarily yet tried every recipe I have posted).
