I often prepare a week’s worth of recipes on the weekend and freeze them so I can quickly have dinner ready for our hungry teenage boys after one of their many sports activities.  Serve over noodles, this moist chicken with a flavorful sauce is a favorite.

Chicken Neapolitan

8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 oz. each)

2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. pepper

3 Tbsp. olive oil

1 cup chopped onions

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 lb. fresh mushrooms, quartered

2 cans (10 ¾ oz. each) condensed tomato bisque soup, undiluted

3/4 cup red wine or beef broth

Pour remaining soup mixture over chicken in baking dish.  Cover and freeze for up to 3 months.

TO USE FROZEN CHICKEN:  Thaw in the refrigerator overnight.  Cover and bake at 350 F. for 35-40 minutes or until heated through.  Garnish with olives and parsley if desired.          8 servings
