Friday Food Love - Stouffer's Seasoning Wraps!

As we all know I am not a chef, or even a good cook. I do my best with the limited knowledge and money available and I make it work pretty good. Chicken is cheap and versatile, and my kids are sick of it. Yes, they are done. 

I have been granted a small reprieve when I discovered the Stouffer’s Seasoning Wraps. They are cheap, easy and Amy-Proof (aka idiot proof).

Defrost your Chicken (or use fresh)
Pound it flat-ish (see how chef -like I am in my terminology)
Put the chicken within the seasoning wrap
Put it in a pan (non-stick or reg I have used both)
Cook each side for 5-6 minutes (depends on your stove)
Take out of the wrapper. 
Put on a plate with something healthy like broccoli, garden salad, French fries, potato chips, fried pickles…. (just wanted to see if you were paying attention)

Viola! Dinner!

You can find Stouffer’s Seasoning Wraps in the gravy / mix aisle.


I am NOT being paid to post this, I seriously do love them, and they run about $1.99 for a package of 4 wraps.

There are two flavors - Italian Herb & Garlic Lemon
