Last week I shared with all of you that I’m a bit of a cooking show junkie…I also love finding new recipes and helping other moms! Last Tuesday, I issued the first Chasing Supermom recipe challenge. It was based on Iron Chef America, and the secret ingredient was Cream of Mushroom Soup! (Not quite as adventurous as ox-tail or scotch bonnet peppers, but something we all can use, and just might have sitting around our pantry!) My goal was to gain a sense of community, and pool together our best recipes, hopefully sparking an idea or two for the other moms out there. I am looking forward to putting a few of these dishes in my weekly menu queue! Ready to see the great recipes that were contributed?

Chicken and Rice
This recipe is an all time favorite. It came about because growing up my family used cream of mushroom soup as a gravy. We put it on steak, chicken, rice etc…. You get the picture. When I got married we ate a lot of chicken and rice and I always topped it with cream of mushroom soup. So my husband started just mixing it all together with peas. Our family calls this dish chicken and rice. It’s boiled chicken cut up into bite size peices mixed with cooked rice, cooked peas and cream of mushroom soup diluted with a little milk. Super easy. You can put it all together in a crock pot or prepare on your stove top. In our house we make HUGE batches and freeze some. My kids LOVE this especially my very picky eater. We keep it on hand so that we always have a healthy alternative for her when she refuses to eat other things. We heat a dish up add a little butter and salt and your good to go! Enjoy!!!
