Recipe insights & TIPS

This recipe was introduced to me at one of my first family gatherings with my wife, Stephanie’s family.  We were to bring an entrée and she was so excited that we were going to make Easy Creamy Chicken. 

I had never heard of it, but if it had the word “easy” and “creamy” in it, then I was sold.  

I was her assistant, a very untrained assistant, and I couldn’t believe how easy it was to make.  A few simple ingredients, but packed with flavor…and a little kick!  

This recipe can be used at home on a busy week, for a family gathering or to drop off to anyone for a special occasion or life event.  We love using disposable 9x13 pans, pre-make the recipe and drop it off for anyone to throw in the oven later. 

Easy Creamy Chicken

The beauty of this recipe is you can add or substitute all sorts of ingredients to make it your own.  Sub ground beef for chicken. 

Add corn and black beans.  Make it your own or make it our way.  

Any way you make it we are confident it will be easy and delicious!
