Hamburger Helper Honey Mustard Chicken

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

YES.

Let me just say yes. I succumbed. I bought Hamburger Helper.

There are days ya know when you’re just too pooped to cook dinner from scratch, you don’t want to pay big bucks for take-out (that is IF you even live where you can get take-out) and you just don’t want leftovers (that is IF there are leftovers.) Those days, well it’s good to have a few quick, easy, throw together without thinking or defrosting meals!

So, I made Hamburger Helper Honey Mustard Chicken.

I started with one rather large FROZEN chicken breast. See, you still might have that same problem - nothing thawed out - but you could use canned chicken. I’m hoping to clear some space in the freezer so frozen chicken was the best option for me, even though it took longer. Cooked it in a large skillet until it was nearly thawed and then cut it up right there in the pan. Did I mention I was pooped? Tossed in the rest of the ingredients, following the directions, and got dinner together asap.

What’d Chili-man say?

“Is there sugar in this?”

Well, technically no, but it was honey mustard, so I assumed that the powdered glaze that went on top consisted of powdered honey but I was too pooped to look.

He ate it, duh but it wasn’t his favorite. It also didn’t thicken up very much, or we didn’t give it enough time.

Personally, I’m glad for an easy dinner. How about you?
