Creamy Parmesan Chicken Single Serve


 Last Chance For March Specials!
And here's another yummy recipe!

I tasted another recipe I have to share! This is the recipe that won 2nd place at Thrive's Leadership Academy when consultants were given a bunch of Thrive ingredients and told to compete with each other to make the best dish! My friend Shelli Rasmussen had been working on this recipe using the March Specials and decided to make it, and it was DELICIOUS!

CREAMY PARMESAN CHICKEN
-Single Serve Portion-

·    1/2 cup FD Grilled Seasoned Chicken
·    1 TBSP FD Spinach
·    1/4 cup FD Mushrooms
·    1/8 tsp garlic powder
·    1 TBSP Veloute Sauce Mix (Chicken Gravy)
·    1 TBSP Bechamel Sauce Mix (White Sauce)
·    1 TBSP or more of FD Parmesan Cheese
·    1/8 tsp Chef's Choice Seasoning

Put all ingredients in a small jar or baggie (quart freezer bags work well) until you are ready to use it. Pour into a bowl and add 3/4 - 1 cup of hot water and stir until creamy. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, stir again, and serve over rice, potatoes, cauliflower rice, toast, etc. Or eat just like it is! Easy, quick lunch on the go!

You can also saute it in a pan for a few minutes to heat it up and let the flavors develop better.

In the picture, I used Seasoned Chicken Slices, which are larger pieces than the Grilled Seasoned Chicken. The bigger pieces have to refresh longer. I actually prefer the thinner slices of the Grilled Seasoned Chicken that's on sale in March (just a few more days!) They refresh quicker and are really good. Also, I didn't want it as saucy or salty, so I only added about half of the sauce mixes in the recipe. Feel free to add peas or other vegetables. Such an easy recipe to customize to your liking!

I have not made this into a jar meal yet, but if you 4 times the recipe, it might be about the right amount for a quart jar.

Here is a quick pic I took of the finished product for the contest and the recipe we scribbled down (after we had eaten some of it.) Very saucy and delicious!

Philly Cheesesteak Meal in a Jar Recipe!




 These March Specials made me think of an awesome
Meal in a Jar Recipe!
PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS!

I'm going to start sharing a monthly Meal in a Jar recipe that utilizes some of the monthly sale items! You can buy these ingredients to make Meal in a Jar or Single Serve recipes, or just stock up and have this awesome food in your pantry to cook with or as long term storage. But these recipes are so good that I promise you will want to make them and not just store this food away! Perfect for a busy night, a LAZY night, when you are sick, camping trips, hiking, RV traveling, or even when you stay in hotels! Dinner is ready in about 5 - 10 mins from start to finish!

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK RECIPE
-Single Size Portion-

·    1/4 cup Thrive FD Shredded Beef
·    1/4 cup Thrive FD Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese OR Mozzarella Cheese
·    1 Tbsp Thrive FD Mushrooms
·    2 Tbsp Thrive FD Green Bell Peppers
·    2 Tbsp Thrive FD Onion Slices OR Chopped Onions
·    1/2 tsp THRIVE Chef's Choice (reduce if you are wanting lower sodium)
·    1/2 tsp THRIVE Italian Season (optional but tastes so good!)

Add the ingredients to a quart size freezer bag or small jar.
Bring 1/3 cup of water to a boil, add the contents of the baggie or jar and let simmer on low for 5-10 mins. Serve on a hoagie roll, lettuce wrap, or eat with a fork. Enjoy! And go make more so you have them ready to go!


-Meal in a Jar Portion-
Makes about 4 sandwiches - depends on how big you make them!

·    1 cup Thrive FD Shredded Beef
·    1 cup Thrive FD Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese OR Mozzarella Cheese
·    1/3 cup Thrive FD Mushrooms
·    3/4 cup Thrive FD Green Bell Peppers
·    3/4 cup Thrive FD Onion Slices OR Chopped Onions
·    2 1/4 tsp Thrive Chef's Choice Seasoning
·    2 tsp Thrive Italian Seasoning

Layer all ingredients in a quart jar until you are ready to use.
Bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil, add the contents of the jar, and let simmer on low for 5-10 mins. Serve on a hoagie roll, lettuce wrap, or eat with a fork.
Enjoy! And make more jar meals so you have them ready to go!

NOTES:
·    I also made these with the Seasoned Grilled Chicken that is on sale and we LOVED them!
·    If you like lower salt, go easy on the Chef's Choice seasoning. You can always add a little more if you want it, but you can't take it away.
·    Some people like it a little saucy, so they add a tablespoon of the Espagnole Sauce (Savory Beef Gravy). But that adds salt too, so be mindful of that.
·    If there's too much water, let it simmer a little longer until the water has absorbed. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
·    You don't have to cook this over the stove. You could put it in a bowl and add hot or boiling water to it and let it sit for a few minutes. Then it's ready to eat!


SHOPPING LIST
Here’s what you need to add to your Delivery Service to make 10 -12 Meals in a Jar (and a LOT of single serve recipes!) Sometimes the product settles a bit, or certain foods have a few less servings per can, and sometimes people over-scoop or under-scoop their ingredients when making these. But this should get you close to 10 - 12 meals in a quart jar. You will have leftover peppers, onions, and spices that you can use in other recipes. Of course, you can adjust your delivery order if you already have some of these items in your pantry or storage that you want to use.

·    Thrive FD Shredded Beef - 1 #10 family can
·    Thrive FD Monterey Jack Cheese or Mozzarella Cheese - 1 #10 family can
·    Thrive FD Mushrooms - 1 pantry can
