    I bought a Betty Crocker 300 calorie Cook book....the book is decent but I have found lots of the recipes to be bland. Can you help with this one I am making tonight?

    Creamy Chicken-noodle Skillet

    1 tablespoon canola oil (i'm using extra virgin olive oil)
    1 LB boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
    1 Medium onion chopped (using a frozen seasoning blend instead)
    1 cup baby carrots cut in half lengthwise
    1 cup frozen broccoli cuts
    1 cup uncooked egg noodles
    1 can (14oz) chicken broth
    1 can (10 3/4 oz) cream of chicken soup

    1. in a 12 inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over med-high heat. Cook chicken and onion in oil 6 to 8 mins, stirring frequently, until chicken is brown and onion is just tender.

    2. stir remaning ingredients. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover; simmer 10 minutes. Uncover; simmer 5 to 8 minutes longer stirring until tender.

    1 serving=300 calories 90 from fat. Total fat 10g
    So my problem is the chicken is super bland...HELP!!!

    Swap out the soups (so much sodium!) for some buffalo sauce, and when it's done, stir in greek yogurt. Creamy spicy deliciousness.

    Rosemary and Thyme add tons of flavor to bland chicken dishes. Or cumin or curry powder.
