Menu Plan Monday - Feb. 6,2012

Well, last week menu plan went well and I figure I should strike again while the iron is hot. However, since I had to work yesterday and then leave early for a sick baby. I am behind a day for posting.

.....but, better late than never I always say.

This week I was to work yest. and Thursday, so those are my quick meal days. Also, now that I took advantage of a lot of the stock up prices at Kroger these last couple of weeks I hope to not do any grocery shopping (except for milk and prob. eggs) for this week and next and only cook out of my pantry and freezer.

Wish me luck!

Monday - Sheppard's Pie

Tuesday - Braised Balsamic Chicken

Wednesday - Sweet & Sour Pork

Thursday - Spaghetti

Friday - Crispy Baked "Fried" Chicken

Saturday - Curry Chicken and Broccoli (recipe below)

Ingredients

• 1 (14 ounce) bag frozen broccoli florets, thawed
• 2 cups cooked chicken strips
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup milk
•  2 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 (divided) teaspoon curry powder (more if you want more flavor)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• Hot cooked rice

Directions

1. Saute chicken in curry and butter till browning on outside.  Curry smell will permeate the house, but in a good way.  Place the chicken then broccoli in a 1-1/2-qt. oven safe dish.  In a bowl, combine the soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry powder, milk and salt. Spoon over chicken and broccoli. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and bake for 1hr at 350 degrees. Serve over rice.               

I originally found this on AllRecipes.com but then tweaked it a little till I got it the way I like it.
