Who doesn't love easy dinners? I know Monday - Friday I love easy dinners. One of my many MANY favorite cookbooks is Betty Crocker Easy Family Dinner. I am not sure if it is still in print, but if you find it grab it. I have had this book forever. I have not made everything in this book. The few recipes I made over have been well loved repeatedly.
The first recipe I want to share with you is a family favorite for 4:5 of us. FYI - I 3 kids and 2 are great and adventurous eaters. My husband not so much, but he has come a long way in 28yrs. Then there is the one picky child. Yes, I have one of those which usually means I make 2 meals. Yes, I am and have been one of those moms. I have done every trick in the book. The child is old enough now there have been plenty of nights I told the child to come downstairs and take care of their own dinner.
From sticky fingers, spilled milk, and spilled ingredients these pages have seen better days ^_^.
Below is the recipe that is in my book. I was able to find it online. I know it got one review and they gave it 3 stars. I am telling you to please try the chicken patties and tell me what you think. I love this recipe because you can change it so easily. Don't like pimentos or little red things leave it out. Want gluten-free just change your breadcrumbs. You want to us a spicier or flavored ranch dressing go for it, I have. I love using Marie's Creamy Chipotle Ranch Dressing for zesty flavor. Because my kids loved American Cheese I would cook half with cheese and half without. I always double the recipe to make sure everyone had enough to eat. Plus, they taste great for breakfast with an over easy egg on top.
If you have a Sam's, BJ's, or Costco membership (we had Sam's a long time ago) and get the canned chicken for cheap and not have to wait for the brand I prefer to BOGO at Publix. My go to brand is Valley Fresh Canned Chicken Breast and then Sam's carried a pack of canned chicken. It has been so long since I have been to Sam's, but I think it is Member's Mark. I could be wrong, so please don't hold me to the name.
For sides I love carrot sticks or rippled carrot chips with a side of the ranch dressing I used in the chicken, mashed potatoes, canned green beans 50% less sodium or no sodium when possible.
I am not being paid nor am I receiving sponsorship. I am just sharing my family's personal favorites.
Please if you use the recipe leave me your thoughts in comments. Did you or did you not like the recipe? What changes did you make? Would you try again?
Namaste and have a blessed weekend.
