Happy Friday everyone! This week flew by in a hurry for me. I’ve been busy trying to make a new puppy welcome in our home. And let me tell you, they are a lot of work! I have 2 kids on top of that so now I feel like I don’t have a second to spare. But I did manage to get dinner on the table so I feel good.
Nothing sweet and fancy here today. Just good old classic comfort food. Well, it’s comfort food to me anyway. My Mom made this for me growing up all the time and I still love it to this day. The creamy sauce mixed with chicken and rice is so delicious and the potato chip crusted topping adds the perfect crunch and salty bite it deserves. Add veggies if you like, but I like it just the way it is. I like to make these in individual ramekins, I think it makes them a little more special that way, but feel free to put into a 9 inch square baking pan.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

4 chicken breasts, cubed and cooked with salt,pepper,onion powder and garlic powder
1/2 cup plain yogurt

Oh, that does sound like comfort food! I bet my boys would love it!
Hi Stephanie!
I love your blog. You have beautiful photos and some yummy sounding recipes. I am looking forward to trying some of them!
Happy friday to you too! Will you show us your new puppy? The dish sounds delicious, I love the chips crushed on top! Confort food has everything to do with memories, doesn’t it?
This looks like a great new dinner idea that my kids will actually eat, and I always need those!
Stephanie, I stumbled across a couple of websites I wondered if you would be interested in. The first is bigoven.com, where you can take photos of recipes there and submit them for money. I though you’d do well because your photos look great.
Stephanie- This just says Utah gal all over it! Way to go! You have a fabulous weekend too!
This sound simple, creamy and tasty!
Aw, good luck with the puppy!! I have one of those right now too and I think it comes close to having another kid. Will we get to see the new baby?
This looks like a comforting meal. I could use one of those tonight.
My Mom made it for me too! I CRAVED it when I was pregnant. Her recipe is a little different, I’d love to taste a new one and see how it compares.
I am passing on this yummy looking recipe to my daughter to make, as I bet my grandson would love this dish. Thanks!
That looks delicious! I love the addition of yogurt, can’t wait to try it this fall.
This is a perfect meal to make extra of, seal it up and then freeze for later use.
You know you have to share new photo’s of the new puppy? Don’t keep us waiting!!
Oh yum!!! Love it! you are brave getting a puppy!

This is my first time on this site but I have a friend who loves it! First of all I want to say that I think it’s GREAT that you do this for everyone. I have never seen so many recipies that I’d like to try in one place before (I truely mean that). I often look through a cook book or a cooking magazine and find 1 maybe 2 recipies that sound good but I just glanced through your first page and I want to try them all! I can’t wait to make them! Thanks!!!
