Potatoes,

Carrots,
Onions,
Brocolli,
2 Swedes,
Baked beans,
Chicken soup,
vegetable soup,
frozen chips,
frozen chicken,
frozen bread,
brown sugar,
plain flour,
dry lentils,
spaghetti,
pasta,
milk,
soy sauce,
mayonnaise,
salad cream

Thanks for any ideas!

LOLOLOL----TOO funny!!

Well, I'm thinkin' you're in Britain----and, probably in bed, right now (or, at least, it's WAAAAY past Dinner)----SO, sorry I'm late in responding, but here's what I suggest for TOMORROW evening.....

Do you have a crockpot? If so, throw the chicken and HALF of an onion in there with the BROTH of your canned chicken soup, ONLY; then, after they're almost done----like, around 5 hours----throw the broccoli (FLORETS, ONLY) in there (make sure you stir it in, real good); then, after another hour, put the carrots in there, and cook for another hour. The reason you put things in separately, is because you don't want your veggies getting mushy. It'll be FABULOUS!! You don't even need to add seasoning, cuz of the chicken-soup broth.

If you don't have a crockpot, just boil your chicken in water----AGAIN, with the chicken soup BROTH (follow the directions on the label, and mix-in whatever amount of water it says); put HALF of whatever amount of onions you want to use (usually ONE onion) in, with the chicken. (If your chicken is FROZEN with or without BONES, figure on it taking an HOUR, to cook; so, in a HALF-HOUR, put the other half of your onion, broccoli, and carrots in ANOTHER pot, and boil for a half-hour. At the end of the hour, drain your VEGETABLES, ONLY (you don't want to drain your chicken and lose all of that great seasoning), and then combine in a big bowl; or, arrange on a platter (if you're cooking for more than just yourself).

Also, bake a potato, if you want, for each person / portion.

Amounts:

Like I said, ONE whole onion (HALF of one, if using a crockpot), 4 breasts of chicken (if you have dark-meat chicken, 4 thighs), half-a-bag of carrots / broccoli, if they're frozen (1 can, if they're canned; if they're FRESH, 2-3 carrots, depending on size, and about a quarter-pound of the broccoli).

Good Luck!!

Thanks Campin Cat, I shall give your idea a go. It sounds very nice I don't have a crock-pot (we call them slow cookers) but I might get one, I'm often out all day and it would be nice to have something cooking while I'm at work. It feels a pain to cook when I get home after work.

Swedes and potatoes could work I'm not sure how to cook the swedes though. A few google searches suggest baking or roasting.

You're quite welcome----let us know how it turns-out!!

Yeah, you should DEFINITELY get a "slow-cooker"----ESPECIALLY if you're single, cuz they make life SOOOO much better, cuz it would be a bit of a pain, to cook all those things separately!!
