My mom had some sort of procedure done yesterday where they shove a tube down her throat and the doctors told her not to cook or do anything of the sort afterwards so I cooked dinner for her. The problem was I'd been awake for 24 hours by the time 4PM came around and I didn't have any familiar meals staring me in the face as far as ingredients go.

So, I tossed the few pieces of frozen boneless chicken breasts she had in a pot with a little water, covered it, and turned it on medium while I tried to find something to do with the chicken.

There were some jalapeño pepper slices in the fridge, and some kind of spicy chicken stir-fry sounded good, but it probably wasn't such a good idea for mom since she just had a tube shoved down her throat. So the peppers were out.

There were a few various frozen vegetables in the freezer, mostly bags of things like corn, lima beans, and mixed vegetables with one serving left. There was also a block of frozen spinach. Spinach is one of moms favorites, so I figured I couldn't go wrong with tossing a block of frozen spinach in with the chicken once the chicken was cooked all the way through and cut into bite sized chunks.

So now I have a pot with chicken chunks and spinach cooking away on medium-low heat and I stat looking around for broths and whatnot. All I could find was a box of Wisconsin Cheddar Cheese Soup in the fridge, so I tossed that in, then let the three ingredients cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes.

It actually turned out really good. I didn't add any spices or anything, the ingredients each had their own flavor and the boxed cheese soup had plenty of sodium (35% of daily value) in it. If I can find a cheese soup with less sodium in it, I'd like to make this again.

Sounds really good! How'd your mom like it?

It's tough to tell, she's my mom, and moms are good at feigning interest.
