4-6 chicken breast halves (depending on how many you're feeding and how much you want for leftovers)
1 bag of pasta accents cheddar flavor for every two chicken breast halves
mayo
Dijon mustard
Mix desired ratio of mayo and dijon mustard. I like more mayo and less mustard (not a mustard fan but like a little for flavor) I probably do about 1/2 cup mayo to a few TBS of mustard. Play around with it you'll find a flavor you like.
Pound the chicken breast with a mallet until thin. Place in a sheet of tin foil and spread a layer of mayo/mustard mixture. Cover with half a bag of pasta accents and fold up tin foil. Repeat for each chicken breast. Bake at 350 until chicken is cooked through. (Mom can you give a better time on it. I just watch it.)
The pasta accents are in your frozen veggie section of the grocery store. They are made by Green Giant I think. They include the pasta, broccoli, carrots, and the cheese sauce. If you don't like cheese sauce there is a garlic option that is still good we just prefer the cheese one.

Best Pancakes!
1 1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 heaping teaspoon baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
1 egg
1 1/4 cup buttermilk (or substitute, see below)
1/4 cup oil
Mix it all up and pour onto a preheated skillet in desired pancake sizes and shapes. My kids prefer Mickey Mouse shaped ones. I like em big and fluffy. We have these at least once a week for dinner. So easy and yummy. I freeze the leftovers if/when we have any for breakfasts for the coming week. I like mine with peanut butter and syrup and with summer coming I have more fruit in the house so I'll start doing that instead. My kids like them with syrup and sometimes jam or peanut butter. So yum!
**Buttermilk substitution. I never have buttermilk so I use the one TBS of vinegar for one cup of regular milk. I mix that together at the beginning and let it sit until I have everything else mixed together then add it. Comes out perfect every time. To make dairy free make the buttermilk with Soy milk.
