Answer 1

How about chicken and dumplings

I package boneless chicken breast thin sliced

Bisquick

milk

Chick broth reduced sodium

Cook the chicken with spices and butter and some of the broth in a Dutch oven at 450 for 20 mins.  add the dumpling per the box directions.  cook uncovered for 10 mins, then covered for 10 mins.  When you put in the dumplings, add more broth.

Answer 2

my kids favorite dish is sauted shrimp in butter/white wine/garlic sauce with bowtie pasta and broccoli.  I toss the raw broccoli in the pasta water for 3 minutes.  You can use chicken instead of shrimp.

Answer 3

You could add some meat to this if you wish and chop and change the ingredients.

Answer 5

Cheeseburger Pie

1 unbaked 9" pie shell

1 lb. ground beef

1/2 cup tomato sauce

1/3 cup chopped onion

1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper

1 tsp. instant beef bouillon granules

3 eggs, beaten

2 Tbs. flour

8 slices American cheese, divided

Heat oven to 425. Bake pie shell for 8 minutes; remove from oven.

Reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Heat a large skillet over medium

heat; add beef. Cook until brown and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Add

tomato sauce, onion, bell pepper, and bouillon. Cook until bouillon

dissolves; remove from heat. Add eggs and flour; mix well. Tear 6

cheese slices into small pieces. Stir cheese into beef mixture;

spoon into pie shell. Bake pie for 25 minutes or until filling is

heated through. Cut remaining cheese slices into triangles. Arrange

triangles in a spoke-fashion on top of pie. Bake for about 3 minutes

longer, or until cheese is melted. Cut pie into wedges.

VARIATION: For a delicious flavor variation, use Swiss or Provolone

cheese instead of the American cheese.  

Answer 6

I love cooking in my crockpot because my household is busy as well.  I throw in chicken, chicken broth, veggies and some pasta in the morning - let cook on low for 8 hours.

Also, put either chicken or beef stew chunks in the crock pot, add fat free cream of mushroom soup, 1 container of light or fat free sour cream, one package of lipton onion soup (powder) and mix all together.  let cook on low for 8 hours and serve over pasta or rice.

Franks & Beans are always a good meal!  Serve with Mac & Cheese or steamed veggies
