Mushroom Chicken with Rice


You'll need:

Chicken Breasts (enough to feed your family)
a little flour
1 can Campbell's Mushroom Soup
Milk
1-2 tbl oil
Rice

Season the chicken breast with garlic powder, coat with a small amount of flour, (not trying to make fried chicken) then cook in a skillet with the oil until chicken is done. Meanwhile, prepare the Mushroom soup according to the directions on the can using the milk. When the chicken has cooked through, drain some of the oil off and pour the mushroom soup over the chicken, let it cook together for 5 minutes or so, it will thicken a little. Serve over steamed rice or noodles whatever your family prefers.

Salmon Patties

In a bowl combine cooked salmon, panko bread crumbs, 1 beaten egg and chopped up chives. I baked fresh salmon, but you could use canned. Sorry, I don't have amounts of ingredients, I just throw stuff in till it looks good.

Form into patties, then fry in oil till brown on both sides.

Serve with your favorite side dish. I was choosing to eat low-carb this night so I just had salad
