Prep Time: 5 Minutes.

Serves 4

What you need:

2 LARGE frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts, each cut in half.

2 cups instant mashed potato flakes

1 small can of cream of chicken soup

2 cups of EITHER berries or veggies. (Either is good, they both cook the same, but VERY different flavors.) Use frozen or fresh.. NOT canned.

i cookie sheet

1long piece of HEAVY DUTY (not the flimsy shit) Aluminum Foil

Ok so here's what you do....
1: Take a cookie sheet.... pull out a strip of heavy duty aluminum foil about 6" longer than the pan.. lay it on the pan and fold up all the long sides about an inch
2: Take two big boneless skinless chicken breasts (still frozen), cut them in half and put all 4 pieces on there
3: Open a small can of cream of chicken soup, mix it with about 1/2 can of water, and pour half of that over the chicken....
4: Take about 2 cups of mashed potato flakes and pour it over the soup mixture.....
5: let that sit for a couple minutes to get somewhat soggy, pour the rest of the soup mixture over the top, then take about 1 1/2 - 2 cups of fresh or frozen berries and scatter them over all of it
6: Take either end of the foil and bring them up towards each other so they make a tent over the top of the chicken... fold the tops together and roll them down until the top of the foil is about 1'2 inch over the berries and potatoes....
7: Then fold up the sides and crimp them together... sealing them tightly

NOTE: by the time you're done, you'll have everything inside a large foil pouch with a small air pocket over the top.. that's going to trap the steam, allow for expansion, and make sure the moisture distributes.Make SURE it's sealed off, otherwise you'll have a hell of a mess

Sedu Designs: put it in the oven at 400* for about 75 minutes... do NOT preheat the oven, then you just sit and wait for it to bake.

The key to this is patience and trust. First, you have to trust that this is going to turn out well. If you open the aluminum foil before it's done cooking, you will release all the steam and moisture in there and it will be very dried out and come out like cement.

DO NOT OPEN THE FOIL. (It's kinda like Pandora's Box.)

Now, you're sitting there trying to decide if you want to try this with berries or veggies. Or you're thinking "berries and cream of chicken soup??? this bitch is crazy!" (I am, but I'm also a hell of a cook)

If you've never in your life tried berries with chicken, I strongly suggest you make this the first time with the veggies. Use broccoli, cauliflower, etc. Add a bit more water for veggies than you do with the berries. If you want to make it pretty, slice up some different colored bell peppers very thin and lay them over the tops of everything. Get creative, add slices of onions, bits of celery, etc.

If you are adventurous enough to try the berries, then I wanna come over for dinner. Leave out all the veggies except maybe a few pieces of onions. Trust me, they won't hurt it. The berries make for a beautiful dish, and the juices will flow into the potatoes and chicken. Everything comes out very plump and juicy, and you'll love me for this.

Here's the kicker: It's really cheap! I buy the bags of frozen chicken breasts. $5. A bag of frozen berries: $3. A box of instant mashed potatoes: $2.50. Two cans of cream of chicken soup? $2. And if you don't already have the heavy duty foil, then shame on you. That price is not included in the meal price. So it all comes out to about $12.50. That's enough to make this twice. (The price will vary depending on the produce and whether you buy fresh or frozen.) So that $12 is enough for AT LEAST 8 servings.

Don't you love me now? Total time from start to finish: 80 minutes. Total work time: 5 minutes.

Bon Apetit!
