This is one of the first meals that my son made
when he was first starting to learn how to cook around the age of ten. He picked the recipe out of the cookbook and
was responsible for the whole meal, from making sure that we had the
ingredients and prepping the vegetables to checking the dish once the timer
sounded on the oven. If you let kids in
the kitchen and let them help, they will try such a greater range of foods that
they might otherwise turn down.
3 chicken breast, cooked and chopped
2 C. Celery, diced
1 C. Carrots, shredded
1 C. Bell Pepper (red and green), diced
8 oz. Canned Mushrooms, sliced
2/3 C. Almonds, sliced
1 can, Cream of Chicken Soup
1 can, Cream of Mushroom Soup
Chow Mein Noodles
In large bowl, stir together all ingredients except chow mein noodles. Transfer to a baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 – 45 minutes until hot. Remove foil and top with noodles. Return to oven and bake, uncovered, for 5 – 10 minutes.
