Velveeta Cheesy Chicken & Rice Skillet
"I decided to refer to my cookbook collection to find a tasty meal last night and this was the ticket. Richard prepared it and was tickled ppink with how well it turned out. We made 4 large breasts so we used some more oil than called for and cooked them slowly so they wouldn't burn etc. This came from my Favorite brand Name Best-Loved Recipies cookbook. This tasted like rice a roni with moist chicken... yummy!"

Obviously this isn't gourmet or the healthiest of foods either, but it is simple. I just made this in my electric skillet and it was awesome only having to dirty one thing. I prefer these skillet type recipes over the ones you bake because they are much more simple. The only thing I changed was that I added garlic and onion powder. I'm sure everyone will season to their own taste. <br/>I will make this again because it was very simple and quick! -
Beautiful and easy. Needed a last minute that was both hearty and didn't take a lot of ingredients. I think this will freeze well, too, which is superb! So glad I happened upon this, and I took the advice of one who added rosemary. I added thyme and rosemary to the soup. Delicious. I cooked regular rice and added 2 cups cooked rice as I don't usually have minute rice on hand. Rice was cooked with a little coriander and I added a can of sliced carrots at the end.

I cooked my chicken with salt and pepper, and shredded it. When it was done I added a little parsley, basil and rosemary to the rice and cheese mix. I made some broccoli in the steamer bags and mixed into my bowl to make it a complete meal in one bowl. -
This is a great baseline to give you a start to your meal. I tweaked it a bit though. Instead of Minute Rice, I used Basmati rice and cooked it in chicken broth, then instead of Cream of Chicken, I used more chicken broth. I added sliced carrots to the skillet along with minced onion, garlic and parsley. Salt and pepper to taste. :) It was very good, but next time I'm going to back off the cheese just a tad. Or maybe add milk.

I love to cook and have been expanding my knowledge here for over a year. My fiancee moved in with me around the time I started frequenting this site because I had to make the same things taste different so we will not get bored. I am about to graduate with my BFA in Art Education in May. My wedding is in June, soooo my plate is pretty full physically and metaphorically... I think the greatest thing about this site is not only do you learn new ways to cook great tasting meals, but you also become more capable of making up your own recipes.
