Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,
As a kid, I grew up eating Mushroom Soup and Rice. It was my absolute favorite and I still go to it when I need some comfort food to remind me of home. Now that I'm older, I have come to start using it as a component of a meal, not the main course.
I am also a huge fan of yams/sweet potatoes. Us Americans use them interchangeably, so interchangeably that I'm not really sure which ones I bought. Pretty sure they are sweet potatoes. Regardless, they are great for you. They have antioxidants, vitamin C, and vitamin B6. Sweet potatoes are also that fabulous orange color which means it has carotenes (as my Dad says, the more colors the better)! Carotenes have a role in eye health and proper immune functioning. Awesome! Plus sweet potatoes are in season, huzzah!
Thus, I made this for dinner: Yammy Chicken! It was fantastically delicious for a very hungry me and my roommate :)
Changes I had to make due to the contents of my pantry:
- only 2 chicken breasts
- no celery or green pepper
- no onion
- used 2 peeled and cubed sweet potatoes instead of canned potatoes
- sprinkled on some shitake mushrooms
- only baked for 45 minutes
Regardless, it was delicious! I ate it with a salad since there were no greens in the casserole.
Bon appetit!
In health,
Lauren
