2 Ingrediant Chicken Tenders

We all have those days where we just can't get the energy up to make supper, so you open your cupboard pull out some random things and hope for the best. That was me today.... after battling what felt like my body being run over by a truck I finally managed to get myself together, run a couple errands and come back just in time to make supper (what a joy) so what did I make? 2 ingrediant chicken tenders with instant creamy chicken flavored rice (I try not to use instant foods to often as its not the healthiest but hey, we all have those days). So here is the recipe for 2 ingrediant Chicken tenders:



What You'll Need:
- Boneless Skinless Chicken Tenders (I get hormone Free, organic tenders)
- 1 packet of Ranch Dip Seasonings
- Olive Oil (you could use butter, or veg. Oil but Olive I find to be a healthy alternative)

What to Do:

1. Heat skillet with olive oil just enough to cover the bottom
2. pour ranch seasoning into a container
3. dip chicken tenders in seasoning
4. stick chicken tenders into skillet
5. cook each side for about 10 minutes or so, use your judgement each person's stove is different
6. Eat and Enjoy

This recipe is by no means state of the art, but it was satisfying and as my husband said it was fulfilling to where your not hungry but it didn't make your stomach sink. So it's a husband approved recipe!!! 

Leftover Recommendation: Make a yummy fresh salad tomorrow for lunch and take apart the chicken thats left!!! 

Supper Tonight: Beanless chili

So for supper tonight I wanted something, fast, easy, and tasty but at the same time I wanted to offer up a supper that looked like I made a HUGE attempt. So what could I make that not only would fill all those descriptions but at the same time satisfy my husband's appetite after a long day of work? Chili. One of man's greatest appreciated foods.



What you'll need:
- 3 LBS of ground beef
- 1 large jar of tomato sauce (about 30 ozs)
- 1 large packet of McCormick Chili seasoning
- 1 large green mango or pepper
- 1 1/2 onions diced
- 3 garlic cloves diced
- 1/4 cup of Brown Sugar

Steps

1. Brown your ground beef so as to ensure that all the beef is cooked
2. drain beef and dump beef into a deeper pot for cooking and simmering
3. Pour all the remaining ingrediants and stir frequently
4. Let simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring about every 5 to 10 minutes to allow flavor to cook into the meat and to get a soup consistency

thats all there is to it!!! Enjoy!!! (I served mine with homemade corn bread muffins and shredded cheddar cheese on top, its up to you really how you want to serve it!) This recipe made enough for about 4 people to have at least 2 servings, but since it's just my husband and I we invited my sister in law to partake in supper!!! I would highly recommend this for a quick meal, or for something on a cold winter day!!!
