Boil chicken breasts in water w/ a few pieces of onion and garlic. Shred chicken and mix w/ a small chopped onion, ½ of each can of sauce and some cheese. Pour a little sauce in pan.

I'm putting together a email list for anyone who'd like to recieve monthly dinner calendars, recipes, prep day schedules, and shopping lists. If this is something you'd find useful, please just send me your email address and I'll include you in the group.

Happy family dinners!
