Batchelor Chicken is a tried and true college favorite. I got the
'recipe' from my ex's father, it was the first thing he learned to cook,
back when dinosaurs still roamed the land.

Put a couple of boneless skinless chicken breasts into a baking dish.
Mix up the required number of servings of seasoned breadcubes or
stuffing mix and layer on top of the chicken. Bake at 350 for 30-40
minutes or until the chicken is firm and the juices are clear. Serve
with a salad or vegetable.


Another cheap, easy dish is onion soup. The kind they charge you $8 for
in a restaurant. For two people you need a sweet onion, some beef broth
(try to get beef base in paste form), two slices of bread, and two
slices of white cheese (try baby swiss or muenster).

Slice the onion thin and saute gently on low heat in butter or oil until
all the onion is soft and golden. You do not want it getting brown and
crispy. Add 2 cups of the beef broth and bring to a simmer for a few
minutes.

Put a slice of cheese on each slice of bread and put them in the oven
under the broiler so the cheese can melt. Watch it and don't let it burn.

Put the soup into a bowl, put the cheese toast on the soup. Serve with a
silly French accent.
