Dinner Ideas - Philly Cooking Creme

Ever had one of those days where you're just lacking inspiration in the kitchen?

Typically, the Hubby and I go out to eat on Saturday nights.  However, we decided to stay in tonight.  My parents will be visiting later in the week for a few days and we know we'll probably eat out a few times while they are here.  Why not save a few pennies this weekend?  We've all been there before.

I asked Hubby what he wanted for dinner, but his only suggestion was "chicken".  Yeah, that helps a lot.  :) 

I wandered off to the Neighborhood Market in hopes of finding my inspiration.  While strolling the aisles, I came across Philadelphia Cooking Creme.  I have seen Paula Deen make mention of this product via Facebook, but I had never tried it. 


This is the flavor I chose.  The Neighborhood Market only had 2 choices - this and the original. 

There was a recipe suggestion on the back and it involved chicken.  We have a winner!  I grabbed a bag of frozen stir-fry veggies to add with the chicken and creme sauce.  The recipe called for fettucini, but the store was out of Bertolli's fresh fettucini so I opted for tortellini instead. 

The dish turned out well.  The cooking creme added a nice flavor without overpowering the flavors of the veggies and chicken.  Hubby approved!
