Mine are tuna casserole, Grandma's chicken, and tieing in yet another
recent thread, ham and eggs.

Grandma's Chicken
by me

Brown chicken in a deep skillet. Add a can of chicken broth or 2, or the
boxed stuff, or your homemade broth, depending on how much chicken you are
cooking. Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes. Add a package of long
grain and wild rice.. 259 g (about 1 pound) and enough chicken broth to cook
the rice. Cover and cook. About 5 minutes before the rice is done, add a
large can of tropical chunky fruit. If you can't find that, then add some
mandarin oranges, mangos, peaches etc. Do not put in the regular fruit
cocktail.. it tastes horrible. Cover. After 5 minutes I like to arrange
green pepper slices, some chopped celery and scallions and tomato wedges on
top. Very quick and healthy one dish meal.
