The ultimate in simplicity, this recipe calls for chicken and cream of chicken soup. Pair it with a salad, or roasted mixed vegetables for a colorful dinner. Even better, 2-step around the kitchen while it is heating up, getting some physical activity while you cook!

  • 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 can (10.75 ounces) cream of chicken soup, reduced-sodium
  • 1/2 cup water

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet at a medium-high setting.
  3. Add chicken and cook for ten minutes.
  4. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
  5. Stir the soup and water together in the skillet and heat it to a boil.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 °F.

My family loves this - I put it in the crock pot and add carrots. Yummy served over brown rice.
