Easy baked chicken

This recipe comes mainly from my friend Ashley. I needed something to cook when I had almost nothing in the house!

4 chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 8 oz cream cheese
1 can diced tomatoes (I used the spicy diced)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
s and p

Salt and pepper the breasts and put in dish with a little cooking spray. Mix remaining ingredients together in sauce pan till the cream cheese melts and the sauce comes together. Spoon sauce over chicken. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked.

Serve with extra sauce and rice!

Risotto - so easy

A lot of people think this is hard to make, but it's one of the easiest side dishes.

1/2 onion
1 clove garlic
1 cup arborio rice, available on the rice aisle
s and p
chicken stock
1 cup frozen peas
1/3 cup of parmesan cheese

Cook garlic and onion for 2 minutes. Then add rice and cook for another minute. While this is cooking, heat chicken stock in a separate pan. When hot, add a cup to the rice/onions, and stir. Reduce heat. Stir often and continue adding a half cup of liquid each time the liquid becomes absorbed. Cook about 25 minutes. When rice is cooked to desired consistency, remove from heat and add cheese and peas.
