This tasty dish comes from Campbell’s Cooking Companion. The paprika, black pepper and red pepper give the dish some mild heat to balance the cool flavor of sour cream.

1/2 cup flour
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder (or salt)
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp ground red pepper or red pepper flakes
4 to 6 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 tbsp butter
1 can (10 3/4 oz) Campbell’s Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
2 medium green onions, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1 container (8 oz) sour cream

Mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper and red pepper on a plate. Coat the chicken with the flour mixture.

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook 10 minutes or until well browned on both sides. Remove chicken, set aside and keep warm.

Stir soup and green onions into skillet. Heat to a boil. Return chicken to skillet and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until chicken in cooked through and no longer pink. Stir in sour cream and serve.

There will be leftover flour mixture. If you would like to save mixture for another use, mix ingredients together in a small mixing bowl. Place chicken on plate to coat rather than setting chicken in the mixture. Store remaining flour mixture in an air-tight container.

Here is an easy and delicious recipe from the cookbook Campbell’s Cooking Companion.

1 lemon
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
4 to 6 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 can (10 3/4 oz) Campbell’s Condensed Cream of Broccoli Soup
1/2 cup milk
1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Cut 4 to 6 thin slices of lemon. Squeeze 2 teaspoons of juice from the remaining lemon.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes or until it’s well browned on both sides. Remove chicken and set aside.

Stir soup, milk, lemon juice, and pepper into skillet. Heat to a boil. Return chicken to the skillet and reduce heat to low. Top chicken with lemon slices. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should be 165 to 170F).

My skillets need to be used on medium heat or lower, which lengthens the cooking time. Adjust accordingly to make sure chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink. Serve chicken with the lemon broccoli sauce and sliced lemons. The cookbook suggests serving over hot cooked rice.

Here is a simple recipe for making great nonfat hot chocolate. This homemade cocoa mix comes from cooks.com (a great resource for recipes).

3/4 cup cocoa
1 cup sugar
3 cups instant nonfat dry milk (powdered milk)
dash of salt

Mix ingredients* together in a large bowl. Use 2 tablespoons of mixture for every 4 ounces of boiling water. Top with cinnamon, marshmallows, or whipped cream as desired. Also great with a candy cane or cinnamon stick in the mug. For an extra treat, place a square of dark chocolate in the mug before adding boiling water (stir well after water is added).

*For best results, ingredients should be sifted together. This is very time consuming, however, so to speed up the process only sift the cocoa and sugar then add the dry milk.
