This weeks menu plan

January 3, 2009

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve made Beef stroganof (the cheat’s way) and it’s gone down a treat, especially with Chef who loves fillet steak. The children are just as fussy. If it’s not pasta carbonara tinned macaroni cheese or spaghetti bolognese, I’m stumped.

So, today, I’m scouring the recipe sites for a totally new menu, one I can use regularly. This looks like a good recipe for a start…

Cheesy One-Pot Chicken Cacciatore

1 tsp. oil
1 lb.  boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped
2-1/2 cups water
2   zucchini, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 Tbsp.  chopped fresh oregano
1 pkg. (14 oz.) KRAFT cheese
1 can  (14-1/2 oz.) stewed tomatoes, drained

Heat oil in large pan on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 5 min. or until browned.

ADD water, vegetables, oregano and Pasta. Bring to boil; simmer partially covered, 12 min. or until pasta is tender.

STIR in Cheese Sauce and tomatoes; cook until heated through.
