Chicken in Savory Lemon Sauce

I finally cooked again tonight after several nights off.

I made a new favorite Chicken in Savory Lemon Sauce.  I found this browsing www.campbellskitchen.com.

This is only the second time I made it and I tried red bell peppers this time instead of green.  I think I liked it better although it still seems to be missing something.  I do leave off the lemon slices so maybe that's it, maybe it just needs more lemon flavor.  If any of you try it and make any changes let me know I'm always willing to experiment.

I also serve it over rice.

Well here's the recipe:

Campbell's Kitchen: Chicken in Savory Lemon Sauce


Vegetable cooking spray
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts halves (about 1 pound)
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's® Healthy Request® Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup chopped red pepper or green pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon paprika
4 lemon slices
  • Spray a 12-inch nonstick skillet with the cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add the chicken and cook until it's well browned on  both sides.
  • Add the soup, water, pepper, parsley, lemon juice and paprika to the skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Top with the lemon slices.

Hello Again

Well not surprisingly I didn't do too good of a job keeping up with this blog; however, it's a new year and one of my resolutions is to give this another try.

Tonight is the first night I've had time to cook this year and the menu is Skillet Steak with Roasted Rosemary-Onion Potatoes.

The Skillet Steak is just that a think cut of steak prepared on the stove in a skillet with a little bit of steak seasoning on it.

The Potato recipe comes from the Betty Crocker Cookbook.

You need:
4 medium potatoes (I prefer baby red ones with skins on)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

To Do:
Heat oven to 450 degrees.
Grease bottom and sides of a jelly roll pan with shortening
Cut potatoes into 1-inch chunks
Mix remaining ingredients in large bowl
Add potatoes; toss to coat
Spread potatoes in single layer in pan
Bake uncovered 20 to 25 minutes, turning occasionally

Hope you enjoy if you try and have a wonderful New Year!!
