There are a few items that I use on a regular basis that I would put in the “cheating” category if you watch the Food Network at all.  We work a lot of hours so if I can save time and still have things taste good then I feel that I am winning.  My cheater items are below.

I also do not measure much unless I am baking so these are approximate amounts.

Ingredients

• 1/2 Cup Chopped Onion Separated
• 2 Tablespoon Minced Garlic Separated
• 1 Bag Tyson Grilled & Ready Frozen Chicken
• 2 Tablespoons Sun Dried Tomato Paste
• 2 Cups Chicken Stock
• 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
• 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
• 1/2 Cup Ricotta Cheese
• 2 Teaspoons Pepper
• 2 Teaspoons Seasoning Salt
• 2 Tablespoons Gee Separated

For this recipe, I used cast iron pans.

Chicken & Sauce

1. Heat large cast iron skillet on med-low
2. Add 1 Tablespoon Gee and spread around pan
3. Add onions and garlic to pan
4. Cook 5-7 minutes until they just start to brown
5. Add Chicken Stock and Frozen Chicken
6. Add Tomato Paste
7. Cook 15 minutes until chicken is hot
8. Transfer chicken to a bowl and keep warm in the oven leaving most of the sauce in the pan
9. Add Cream and stir in
10. Add Sour Cream and stir in
11. Add Ricotta Cheese and stir in
12. Add seasonings (If I made this again I would add some ground red pepper for heat)
13. Let simmer while making potatoes

Potatoes

1. Heat medium cast iron skillet
2. Cook microwave potatoes according to package
3. Add 1 Tablespoon of Gee to pan
4. Add Garlic and Onion to pan
5. Cook 5-7 minutes until they just start to brown
6. Add Potatoes to pan
7. Cook 5-7 minutes to get a fried outside to the potatoes

Serve chicken with sauce, potatoes and vegetable of choice.
