Favorites from last week... well maybe the week before, last week was not exciting.

My husband loves this, the kids pick out what they like.

Chicken Broccoli Casserole

3-4 chicken breasts cooked and cubed

2-3 cups of raw broccoli

1 cup Minute Rice

2 cups shredded cheese

2 cans Cream of Chicken Soup

1 cup sour cream

2 cups crushed Ritz Crackers

These quantities are a guess, I just throw it together without measuring. So if it seams too thick, add a little more sour cream or some water. If too thin, add more rice.

Mix chicken, broccoli, rice, soup and sour cream together. Put in greased 9x13 pan. Top with crackers and cheese. Bake at 350 for about 1/2 hour or until bubbly. Depending on how soft you like your broccoli, you can cook longer.

Sweet & Sour Chicken

This recipe orginally consisted of making the sauce, dumping on raw chicken and baking until finished. I find that takes way too long for the chicken breasts to cook through. So I slice up the chicken and cook in a pan, then we have the sauce as a side. That way the children that don't like the sauce still have chicken, rice and veggies for dinner, and those that do pour the sauce over everything.

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup water

2-3 tbsp ketchup

2 tbsp soy sauce

1/4 cup vinegar

Bring to a boil and add 2 tbsp of water with 1 tbsp of corn starch to thicken, more depending on how thick you like it. This makes about 1 1/2 cups of sauce.
