Taste Test Tuesday: Magic Mix

Milky May:  2 recipes today:  Garlic Rosemary Chicken and Magic Mix




Garlic Rosemary Chicken:  This recipe uses Magic Mix--recipe & information below.  With the amount of chicken I used as shown in the picture, there was just enough of the creamy sauce to coat the chicken rather than having chicken in sauce to top the rice.  The amounts of chicken and sauce can be adjusted to family likes--whether you like having chicken in a creamy sauce or having chicken lightly coated by the creamy sauce.  The seasonings can also be adjusted as well as replaced with other seasoning blends.  Freezer meal alert:  this freezes well, simply reheat in a microwave--works good to make individual servings or family size servings.
Magic Mix can be used for sauces, gravies, puddings, cream soups, etc.  I have made all of these using Magic Mix in the past, including making homemade fudge-cicles-mmm.  It is really a nice mix to have on hand for making quick meals that need white sauces, gravies, soups, etc.  It works really great with recipes that use cheese--parmesan, cheddar, mozzarella--things like chicken alfredo, macaroni and cheese, casseroles that use cream soups and cheese.

Enjoy!
