Who doesn't love a cheap and fast meal? But instead of driving down the street to the nearest fast food restaurant, stay home and in 20 minutes you can have a creamy chicken dinner.

Creamed Chicken with Pasta is made from a few ingredients that you may already have on your pantry shelves.

Creamed Chicken with Pasta

10 ounce can chunk chicken breast, drained

11 ounce can cream of mushroom soup

12 ounce bag egg noodles

6 ounce can sliced mushrooms, drained

1/2 cup onion, chopped

1 cup sour cream

2 teaspoons olive oil

fresh parsley

Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped onion in the olive oil until the onion is tender.

Add the chicken to the skillet and stir. Cook for 1 minute.

Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and the sliced mushrooms. Simmer for 10 minutes.

After the 10 minutes, stir in the sour cream over low heat and heat thoroughly and serve over the noodles.

Top with some chopped parsley is desired.

If you are looking for a low fat version, you can use the fat-free or reduced fat soup and sour cream.

Never knew chicken came in a can? It should be in the same aisle with the canned tuna. The canned chicken is pre-cooked so you don't need to worry about food poisoning.
