Note: I wrote this post a few months back while I was still in the dorm. I never posted it because I didn’t take any pictures when I made it, but I figure I may as well post it anyway.
Well, like I mentioned in my last update post, I’ve been cutting back on my spending which means I haven’t been buying a whole lot of groceries. I pretty much eat in the school’s cafeteria during the week and I only cook on weekends.
When I first started doing this a few weeks ago, I actually had some cans of food in my dorm that I hadn’t used, so I figured I might as well make something out of what I had before I went grocery shopping. That’s pretty much how I came up with this recipe.
Ingredients:
- One can of Tyson Premium White Chicken Breast ( $2.60)
- One can of diced potatoes ($0.60)
- One can of Cream of Chicken Soup ($0.90)
- 1 tsp of pepper
- 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp of hot sauce
- 1 tbsp of garlic powder
- 1 tbsp of garlic powder
- 1 tsp of Tony Chachores
Optional Ingredients / Substitutions
- Any type of “Cream of ___” soup could be used.
- Season it however you wish.
When I cook this, I usually eat the entire batch, but you could probably split it up into two servings. You may even be able to stretch it to 3 servings if you cook some kind of side dish.
Step 1: Start out by opening the can of chicken and empty out the water inside. Next, empty the can into your microwavable container. Usually the chicken comes in pretty hefty chunks and I try to either quarter them, or at the very least split each chunk in half.
Note: The first time I made this, I actually just shredded the chicken, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the consistency of the soup, but feel free to try it if you’d like.
Step 2: Open up the can of potatoes and drain out as much of the water inside as possible. Now just pour the potatoes into your container along with the chicken.
Step 3: Open up the Cream of Chicken soup can and dump that into the container. Now, fill the can up with water and empty that into the container as well.
Step 4: Throw all of the seasonings into the container and stir it all up.
Step 5: Put your bowl/container into the microwave and let it cook for 5 minutes. I would advise covering the container with a paper towel as soup can sometimes make a mess in the microwave.
Step 6: Enjoy!
I hope you all enjoy, this is probably my favorite recipe as of late. It’s super easy to prepare and cooks very quickly.
Next time I make it I’ll make sure to take pictures and upload them.
