Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

I was out later in the afternoon than I expected to be today, and I was worried about getting dinner on the table when I got home; I had chicken thawing and was more or less committed to a dinner plan, but I hate to be rushed when I’m making a recipe for the first time. (Okay, I hate to be rushed at ANY time, but some times are definitely worse than others.) I managed, however, to get this Chicken Cordon Bleu Skillet on the table in less than an hour, and given that I made a homemade cream-of-whatever soup substitute, I’m calling that a serious win. And folks–it was tasty. Not necessarily I’d-pay-a-fortune-for-this-in-a-restaurant tasty, but definitely this-was-easy-and-totally-enjoyable-to-eat tasty, and who doesn’t love that? The homemade soup was my only substitution–oh, unless you count penne for egg noodles, because I don’t particularly like egg noodles–and besides salting as well as peppering the chicken (because seriously), I pretty much just followed the recipe. The next time you need a quick meal and you’ve got chicken, ham, and Swiss cheese, this is the meal for you; two out of my four kiddos gave it two thumbs up. Enjoy!
