Pam, This would be one way for me to get my wife to eat her vegetables! I'd have to use dark meat as that's her preference but when smothered with cheese she would eat 'healthy'! Stay Safe and Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteHa! That might work, Dave! Dark meat would work also. Thanks and take care, be safe!
DeleteLooks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debby!
DeleteThis looks really good and I could ketofy it pretty easily (I think)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anne! There must be a way to ketofy! 😉 Take care
DeleteThis sounds delicious but it would be more complicated for me as I only use homemade soups and fresh vegetables. I love one dish meals though.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are both well and hopefully life will return to normal in the foreseeable future.
Stay safe, Diane
Thanks, Diane! I'm hoping life will return to normal soon and for warm weather also! Take care
DeleteThat's a mouthwatering meal, Pam. Lots of cheddar is always good :-))
ReplyDeleteThanks, Angie! I might've gone overboard with the cheese it looks like. Take care
DeleteThis is a winner, as far as I’m concerned! It sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nellie! It was good on a cold evening! Take care
Deletewho ever got to eat this for dinner is lucky wow that looks so good!
ReplyDeleteHi Claudia! It was better than it looks. 😊 Thanks and take care.
DeleteLooks like a very good one pan meal, which I really like.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Larry! Love those one pan meals! Take care
DeleteThis sounds like perfect comfort food!! Bill is going to love this!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Liz! It's a dish for "Bill's!" Thanks and take care
DeleteMmmm, love simple, hearty, tasty dishes like this. Easy to put together and make, even easier to eat. Good stuff -- thanks.
ReplyDeleteYes, simple and hearty! Thanks, John and take care.
DeleteI generally prefer to make my own white sauce rather than using cream of whatever soup -- I don't find it that difficult. With ordinary cream sauce, it sounds like a good dish to me. Chicken and cheese are always good.
ReplyDeletebe safe... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I think never of making cream sauce for something like this and I hope I remember next time to try it. Chicken and cheese! Take care
DeletePam this cheesy chicken looks wonderful and delicious!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gloria! It's good and easy!
DeleteI, obviously, love versatile dishes like this meaning use whatever veggies you have on hand. Comfort food at it's finest, Pam!
ReplyDeleteHi Debra! Yes, any veggie would work! Thanks and take care
DeleteWe all need delicious comfort food these days and this looks so delicious. Chicken, rice, veggies and cheese...I'm in!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan! It was an easy good meal! Take care
DeleteOh girl....this is what I call comfort food. This would have been super warming during our Texas winter storm! Have a great Sunday
