Chicken And Vegetable Gravy Over Puff Toast

Good Wednesday night everyone.

The things you see at McDonalds these days… It was half day at school today so I told the boys we could go have lunch and play at McDonalds (I know, it’s gross, but I will admit we go occasionally). As we were walking towards the door, I watched this teenage boy follow a Mom to the door as she was leaving and said, “What the bleepity bleep are you looking at?” That’s all it took for this Mom to lose it and she starts back at him in even worse language!

Mind you, my children and I are standing there waiting to go through the door. I was stunned. It was the middle of the day and so uncalled for. They finally walked away with more degrading language. Get a life people! I thought fried fatty foods made people happy?! My boys certainly got an earful. Luckily they just raced toward the play area and forgot about it.

So, onto dinner. It’s hard to beat a 20 minute dinner. I remember as a kid eating chicken gravy over toast quite often and I loved it. It is easy and delicious. For the boys, I cut the pastry into little squares, then poured the chicken and vegetable gravy over top in their bowls. No complaints what so ever. If you want to get fancy, garnish your plates with a sprig of rosemary and call it a night!

Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet thawed puff pastry

  • 1 can drained mixed vegetables
  • 1/4 tsp cajun seasoning I use Emerils
  • pinch salt and pepper
  • pinch garlic salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Carefully unfold pastry onto a lightly floured counter. Cut into 9 equal size squares and place onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside.

Since dinner only takes 15 minutes, you’ve got plenty of time to make dessert. Try these fun sweet and salty turtle cookie bars. They are incredible and look great wrapped up with a bow. Enjoy!

Sweet and Salty Turtle Cookie Bars

 

2 sticks softened butter

3/4 Cup sugar

3/4 Cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanillla

2 1/2 Cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

2 Cups chocolate chips

3/4 Cup caramel ice cream topping

1/2 Cup chopped pretzel sticks

1/2 Cup ground walnuts

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer cream butter and sugars until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla until well combined. Place flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl and slowly add to wet ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips.

2. Spray a 11×7 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Press 1/2 of the cookie dough into the bottom of the dish. Drizzle caramel sauce over dough then sprinkle with pretzels and walnuts. With a cookie scoop, scoop the remaining cookie dough evenly over top of pretzels and nuts. Press down slightly, should look uneven. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until cookies just start to turn golden on the edges. Remove and let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Have a great rest of the week! See you all soon!

    I’m a big fan of puff pastry. Appetizer, dessert, entree, you name it, it works!

    You’re funny Jenny “thought fried food made people happy.” Sad for that family, you know that wasn’t an isolated incident.

  9. Jaime

    Okay this would even be delish over mashed potatoes. Yummy! Thanks, I bookmarked this to try next weekend. I can’t wait.

  10. pam

    It all looks good, enjoy your blog. But you know I don’t know how you get your kids to eat some of these meals, no way would some of my children touch it, lucky for you.

  11. Krilafis

    I want to thank you for all your wonderful recipes. I’ve been well fed for months with these! Thank you for adding variety to my stuffy college life.

  12. lemontartlet

    Chicken gravy on toast was the best ever, and then you made these. They look tasty, and this is exactlly the sort of thing I love! And those folk at McDonalad’s, some people ain’t got no home training y’all.

  13. The Blonde Duck

    I love that chicken puff pastry dish. And I happen to have one in the freezer! Hooray!

  14. Jenny

    Hi Katherine,
    I know, now I want to use puff pastry in everything!

    Too funny Alexandra,
    I grew up eating and playing at Micky D’s as well, there’s no harm every now and then!

    Hi Shelby,
    You are right, very similar, and it tastes like it too.

    Satisfying my sweet tooth,
    Can’t wait for your brownie week!

  15. Satisfying my Sweet Tooth

    how sad that some people are so disrespectful these days! I love you dinner idea though…it’s almost like chicken pot pie which is one of my favorite things! And I love your dessert too. I have been trying to think of something with brownie and pretzels so I may just get creative with something similar this weekend in preparation for Brownie Week coming soon to my blog!

  16. HoneyB

    yumm. I would call it deconstructed chicken pot pie! he he.

    Its too bad people have to use language like that in a public place. SHAME on them!

  17. alexandra's kitchen

  18. Jenny

    Hi Sweet and Saucy,

    Thanks Priscilla,
    I agree, some behavior is really disappointing, especially around kids.

    Noor,
    What is it about McDonalds!?? Maybe we won’t be going anymore!

    Bellini Valli,
    Yes, that sweet and salty is so good in desserts!

  20. Tasty Trends

    That looks delicious! Puff Pastry, gravy and dessert. I am totally down! Great recipes and thanks for sharing. And thanks for stopping by my blog!

  24. Jenny

    Nye’s,
    I believe it is Pepperage Farm brand. Any puff pastry brand will do. You’ll find it in the frozen foods by the fruit and cheesecakes. It’s really good!

    Too funny Donna,
    I love those darn turtles too!

    Hi Sara,
    I wish I could say puff pastry is healthy, but it’s pretty high in fat. Lots of butter!

    Hi Beth,
    Yes, totally disappointing to say the least.

    Hi Stephanie,
    I wish I was more gutsy, I really wanted to say something, but I didn’t. I think I was afraid to get in the middle!

    That girl,
    Yes, it tastes very much like an inside out pot pie. Really yummy!

  25. Live.Love.Eat

    OK, that would have irked me in McD’s and I would have HAD to say something, not bad, just a big loud EXCUSE ME. Ughhh. That’s awful, obviously we know where the kid gets it from. As for your dinner and dessert, very very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. Beth

    Great quick and easy meal. I can’t believe the language and manners of some people. I get really annoyed when I hear and see that kind of behaviour.
