Quick & Easy Chicken (allrecipes.com)

I am trying to find easy recipes for those that have asked for them. This one was "Easy Peezy Lemon Squeezy" and really good and could be made on the stove or in the crock pot. My family loved it! It was finger licking good according to my 3 year old lol!~





2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 Tbsp. ketchup
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
3 Tbsp. white sugar
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. ground black pepper

Saute onion in oil until translucent.
Add chicken, and brown lightly.
Combine ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, lemon juice, and pepper; mix well. Pour over chicken, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 25 to 35 minutes


Hamburger Gravy (food.com)

I was never a big fan of school lunch HOWEVER there was a few things that I miss. 1) The peanut butter in the little cups that had a little bit of honey mixed into it. OH MAN I LOVED IT!!! 2) The hamburger gravy on potatoes. I know weird huh! Well I wasn't feeling to well recently and had thawed some ground beef and needed to use it, so I was looking for some kind of comfort food and viola! This is what I found. When my hubby came home he HAD to sample it and then...He couldn't stay out of it! Now my hubby is quite picky and he loves meat so I was worried he wouldn't appreciate this meal. Lucky Me! He loved it!!!

I didn't have one complaint tonight! AND THAT MADE ME FEEL LOTS BETTER! :)

1 lb. ground beef
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 an onion, minced
1/2 tsp. each salt & pepper
1 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. beef bouillon
water

In a large skillet brown ground beef and onions. Drain well. Add soup, salt, pepper, bouillon.  Add 1 1/2 -   1 3/4 cans of water to the mixture (using your soup can). Stir in slowly simmer 15-20 minutes. Thicken gravy with the flour to the consistency you prefer. Simmer 5 minutes more. Serve over mashed potatoes or noodles.

Now this says it will serve 8 (don't think so, I would say 5) HOWEVER I made it a couple times so I can serve it later over noodles! Boom 2 meals!!!

Happy Eating!!!
