I was hungry late on a Monday night and started looking to see what I had. At first I was just going to steam some Lima beans and mix it with a package of rice. Then I saw I has one frozen chicken breast and decided I'll just put all 3 together. Then I remembered I also had a can of cream of chicken soup and that would add some creaminess to my meal. When I started making the soup I thought, I wonder how it would taste with some cream cheese. So I added the cream cheese and realized I wanted to go ahead and make it into a casserole and put some cheese on it. I started adding spices and came up with this blend. It tasted so good I had to add it here! All the ingredients were things I already had at home. As a single woman, making something for myself that I can take leftovers to work the next day is perfect.
