Real lemons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is another one from Betty Crocker’s Kitchen of Good Stuff. It’s a skillet meal, which makes it simple to fix and easy clean-up, too. I am always in favor of the quick and easy! (Does anyone besides me know how long Betty Crocker has been around? Anyone? Bueller?)<\/p>\n

You make the meatballs first, and then in the same skillet, cook the rice, and add the cooked chicken plus the tomatoes and cheese.<\/p>\n
