What's For Dinner Wednesday's??


This is a very yummy recipe from my friend Tina. She cooked it for our first swap. She usually makes up several batches herself and then uses them during baseball season when trying to get dinner quickly on the table for her family.


Tina’s “Emergency” Dinner


4-5 chicken breasts (or turkey) 1 tbs. Lemon juice


1 bunch or package of broccoli (frozen or fresh) ½ tsp paprika or curry


2 - 10 oz. cans Cream of chicken soup 2tbs. chicken broth (or more)


½ cup mayonnaise 4 oz. herb-flavored stuffing mix



Cook chicken


Cook broccoli


Mix together soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, paprika and broth


Layer the following: meat, broccoli, sauce, stuffing.


You can either bake now, then freeze; or freeze and then bake…


Bake then freeze:


Bake the casseroles at 350°; or bake frozen at 300° for 1 hour


Freeze, then bake version:


Wrap casseroles


Freeze


Thaw and bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes; or bake frozen at 300° for 1 to 1 1/2 hours (check after 1 hour)…


Stuffing Tip


For a cruncy texture, don’t cook the stuffing, just sprinkle the bread cubes/crumbs over the top. For a softer texture-cook the dressing and layer on top- Your choice!
