2 Microwave Chicken Dinner Recipes For Camping

During the summer, my family loves to travel and go camping. Our trailer has a stove, refrigerator and microwave, so I find recipes that do not require the use of a microwave to do for family dinners when we are in the camp. The following 2 recipes can be fully realized in the microwave and require less than 1 hour from start to finish. You can also go the day before and bring to boil in the microwave if Sauce3 mushrooms desired.Chicken tablespoons butter (not margarine) 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced2 tablespoons finely chopped1 / 3 cup milk 1 brick cream cheese, cut into cubes1 / 2 teaspoon chicken bouillon base1 / 2 teaspoon table salt 1 / 4 teaspoon black pepper4 boneless, skinless chicken breastsIn a cast glass, combine 2 tablespoons butter, sliced mushrooms and onions. Microwave on high for 3 1 / 2 minutes, stirring half of cooking. When finished, add the milk, cream cheese cut into cubes, the chicken stock base, salt and black pepper. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring half of cooking. Remove from microwave and set aside. In the other glass baking dish, place chicken breasts and 1 tablespoon butter. Breast microwave for 8-10 minutes or until no longer pink in the center. Remove dish from oven and pour the mushroom sauce on top. Stir to mix ingredients and put back in the microwave. Cook high for another 3-4 minutes.

Pasta Microwave on high for 10-12 minutes or until fork tender. You want to mix the dough 2-3 times during the cooking process so that it does not stick. Drain and reserve. In a glass baking dish, combine butter and onion. Microwave on high for 3 minutes and then add the chicken breasts and cook on high for 10-12 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. In a bowl, combine tomato sauce, basil, oregano, salt, pepper and cream. (I like to use a silicone spatula.) Pour the tomato sauce on the cooked chicken breast and cook on high for 4-5 minutes. Remove pan from oven and sprinkle with parsley, mozzarella cheese and sliced olives on top. Place back in microwave and cook on high for another 3-4 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve over cooked pasta.
