RecipesRecipes to Feed Your Family in a Matter of Minutes #2
Do you have a family "on the go"? Don"t fall into the fast food drive-thru window trap. That"s okay from time to time but it is too expensive and unhealthy to become a regular part of your family"s diet. Try these quick and easy recipes for an easy and quick meal at home. Mom"s Microwave Pizza Chicken can be made even easier by replacing the fryer with 8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves. You eliminate cutting up the pieces and removing the skin. The chicken will also cook in about half the time. Chicken is done when the juices run clear.  The Beefy Skillet Ravioli uses refrigerated pasta and only needs 15 minutes to cook. Serve with a salad and you have a meal.
MOM"S MICROWAVE PIZZA CHICKEN
1 fryer, cut-up into 8 pieces

1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp basil
1 can (4-oz) mushroom pieces, drained

Remove skin from chicken pieces and arrange pieces in a lightly greased 12 x 8-inch microwave-safe dish. Stir together the tomato soup, tomato paste, onion salt, garlic salt, oregano, basil, and the mushroom pieces. Generously spoon the sauce over the chicken pieces. Place dish in microwave and cook for 19 to 20 minutes. If you are not using a microwave turntable, turn chicken 1/2 turn after 10 minutes. Sprinkle cheeses over the chicken and continue to cook for 2 to 4 minutes, until cheese is melted and chicken is done.
