Frugal Menu Mamas

Doesn’t the title make you want to eat this NOW?!  I happen to love the Parmesan-Crusted Chicken at Longhorn Steakhouse and have had something like it at Olive Garden, so when I saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it.  The recipe is from Kraft Foods and I will be making it again!

The chicken was super flavorful and the cream sauce was delicious!  I changed the ingredients a bit based on what I already had at home.  I used regular cream cheese instead of the chive & onion, probably would have had a little more flavor with that.  I also could not find the Ritz crackers that I knew I had so I used plain bread crumbs.  Guess what?  Found the Ritz crackers a few days ago.  :)  And I made the brown rice according to the Kraft directions….did NOT work, I ran out of liquid and it got crunchy.  Next time I will just follow the package directions substituting 1 can of chicken broth for some of the water.

Oh well, you live and learn, right?  I now know what to do for this recipe and it will probably be fairly regular around here.  I hope you enjoy it too!
