Tag: Food

For the past few years, whenever I have visited home, my mom has stuffed my luggage with frozen food like Zhongzi or homemade sausages. The last time I was at home was the first week of September, so I haven’t really needed to cook for the last month.

I wanted to make something really easy, so I went with a basic chicken bake. It was like 10 minutes of prep, and 1.5 hours of cooking (mostly because my chicken breasts were still partially frozen).

Ingredients:

– 1.5lb Chicken Breasts
– 1 Can Cream of Chicken Soup
– 1 Bottle Black Ale
– 1/4 Stick Butter
– 1/3lb Frozen Vegetables
– Bread Crumbs
– Spices (thyme, garlic powder, pepper, salt, etc.)
– Pam Spray

Making it was super easy:
– Preheat oven to 350F
– Spray 13×9 pan with Pam
– Place chicken breasts and half of the vegetables into pan
– Add spices to chicken
– Add cream of chicken on top
– Add more vegetables and spices
– Pour 2/3 of the beer into the pan (drink the rest)
– Put butter onto chicken
– Add bread crumbs
– Bake for ~1.5 hours

I was a bit concerned because my chicken was still a bit frozen. I put a meat thermometer into the chicken and just checked up on it every half hour or so to make sure the meat stayed juicy. It didn’t end up being the prettiest looking meal, but it still smelled good and tested better.
