My next post as a Campbells’ Ambassador is an easy chicken and rice bake, one of my favorite meals ever! My favorite is the classic mushroom soup and cheese bake, but this Tex Mex one is seriously delicious as well.
This was whipped up this past week when my parents came over. I didn’t have time for a large, in charge family meal and had warned them that a simple, easy meal would be served.
This was our supper table that night. I divided up the chicken and the rice in different dishes, added a salad that I didn’t capture in the picture and of course, a nice white wine.
It was agreed that this was one delicious dish. Happily my daughter loved the chicken and cheese and even ate a few spoonfuls of the rice. This is a big step for her, the moving on to flavored rice from her usual plain butter and rice.
I’m sure you’ve noticed that I am really into simple meals lately. I am super busy not only homeschooling the kids and keeping this website up to date, but I’m really getting deep into getting my cookbook done. We are on a really weird eating schedule, to be honest. It seems that we are eating breakfast, almost entirely skipping lunch and then eating a really early dinner, like a 4 pm dinner. I’m not sure if this is a good thing, but it’s what’s going on right now.
Happy Cooking everyone! Let me know if you give this a whirl!
Love you more than chocolate,
