Warm Your Belly, Warm Your Heart!

I would like to welcome our new guest blogger! Becky from Your Modern Family 

has some really great recipes to share!

Warm your Belly, Warm your Heart.....

Are you looking for a recipe to warm you up?  This one is fast, easy and so tasty!  It is one that the whole family will love and you can change it every time that you make it (see details below)...

Chicken Ala King:

Cook 3 cut-up chicken breasts (You can boil them first for 20 minutes & then cut them up).

set these aside

In a skillet over low heat, melt 1/2 a stick of butter (or 1/2 cup).

Add to this... 5 T flour (blending constantly!)
Add a cup of chicken broth

Add a cup of milk (still blending & mixing)

Add some salt, pepper, mushrooms (I use a can), peas and 1 beaten egg yolk. 

   ***TO add the yolk, beat it in a seperate bowl & add some of the milk mixture to that bowl.  When the eggs reach the temperature of the skillet mixture, add it in.  Otherwise it will scramble in your meal (but it still taste the same & you can't really tell!)

Add the chicken to your dish.   Turn the heat off.
Let it cool a few minutes and it will thicken.

Here is where the variety comes in: you can have this over rice, egg-noodles, biscuits or toast.  It is great any way that you make it!  You can also use green beans, sun-dried tomatoes.. anything to add some variety!

A great side to this meal is Hash-brown Casserole:

This takes about five minutes to make!

1 Bag frozen Hashbrowns (thawed)

1 Stick Melted Butter

1 Bag (2 cups) cheddar cheese

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 small container of sour cream (around 8 oz).

Mix them all together and spread in a casserole dish.

Bake for one hour at 350. 

You could make this your main dish by adding a meat (ham or chicken). 

Have a great dinner!  Enjoy!
