Progresso Recipe Starters & $10 Giveaway Ended


School is back in session which means my husband and I are both back at work.  One of my least favorite part of the day is figuring out dinner.  I'm not a great cook and I'm definitely not good at planning out dinner ahead of time.  I was excited to learn about Progresso Recipe Starters.  There are five different sauces that can be used in many different ways.  I don't even know how to make a sauce on my own and definitely don't have the time or energy to make one from scratch after work/school.

I received the Creamy Roasted Garlic with Chicken Stock to try.  We desperately need to go to the store for groceries, but I knew we wouldn't have time before dinner.  I decided to try my recipe starter in the CrockPot with some frozen chicken breast.  I didn't put anything else in it.  As you can tell, it took very little time to prepare. 




I made some instant rice to go with it when I got home and dinner was done.  The chicken was tender and the sauce was delicious.  it was a little bit soupy, but that's because I didn't put anything else in it to thicken it up.  It was actually perfect on top of the rice rice.
 
Lets just say the food did not last long and there were no leftovers.  I can't wait to try it again and add some more to it or try a different sauce. 

There are lots of yummy recipes to try out with the Progresso Recipe Starters.

We tried this here!
I want to try this next!

 I have several recipes bookmarked to come back to later.  There are lots of easy recipes that take less than 30 minutes to make.  Perfect for us and any busy family.

One lucky winner will win a Progresso Recipe Starter Gift Pack!
  • Two cans of Progresso Recipe Starters
  • $10 Gift Card to purchase your recipe ingredients
  • Progresso Recipe Starters recipe book, including 5 recipes to get you started
