I went to the gym last night, so I put a chicken breast in a Ziploc bag with some green salsa to marinade. I saw some mushrooms in there, too so thought it might be kind of nice to fry up some onions and mushrooms and mix them all together with the chicken. It was going to be one of those nights.
When I got home, my husband had taken the chicken out of the marinade and cut it up. He was definitely preparing something I wouldn't have done with marinaded chicken. Mainly because it was a waste of the marinade. I'll explain.
He had a can of Campbell's Mushroom Soup (the kind for green bean casserole) out and was preparing it on the stove. Then I saw that he also opened the Instant Seasoned Mashed Potatoes. I just wasn't feeling the green salsa marinade with the other ingredients, but he was cooking and I was tired.
Ultimately, the chicken was cut up into bit-size pieces sauteed up in oil and put into the mushroom soup. The chicken and mushroom soup got spooned over the seasoned mashed potatoes. With the kind of Romano cheese that normally goes on pasta.
I didn't care for tasting the green salsa among the other flavors, but as I said, I wasn't cooking and I was tired. Other than that, I think I would make this combination again--without the green salsa. I was thinking what fried potatoes, like hash browns would taste like instead of the mashed potatoes. I guess we shall see.
