A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Even though this has a cream-based sauce, the sour cream keeps it light. We used Monterey Jack cheese but Cheddar should work well too. This has the elements of comfort food with a Southwestern kick to it. If you end up with too little drippings in the pan, just add a little more oil before stirring in the flour. The flour on the chicken pieces seemed to absorb quite a bit of it.
