What you need:
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 T butter
2 T flour
1/4 t salt
1/8 t pepper
2 cups milk
2 T butter
2 T flour
1/4 t salt
1/8 t pepper
2 cups milk
2 cups cubed cooked chicken breasts
1 cup frozen mixed veggies
2 cups hot mashed potatoes
If you're looking to save time you can use instant mashed potatoes and already cooked chicken, I did everything on my own so this is actually 3 little recipes.
First, Mashed Potatoes. Start with this:
I used 4 medium sized potatoes since I only cook for two. You'll want to wash and peal the potatoes like so: 
Next, cut each potato into cubes, typically I cut straight down the middle and then make perpendicular cuts from there.
Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water, bring to a boil and then reduce to medium heat and cook, uncovered. Once the potatoes are tender, drain the water. 
Smash the potatoes, add roughly 1/2 c. milk, a dash of oregano, 2 t. olive oil, and 1 t. salt, mix thoroughly. (Mr. Murphy typically only adds milk, butter, and salt) And viola! You get these scrumptious little spuds:
The even easier part, the chicken: Cut up two boneless, skinless chicken breasts into cubes and season completely with poultry seasoning (available at any grocery store).
Spray a frying pan with cooking spray (this little trick cuts down calories rather than cooking the chicken in butter) and cook the chicken thoroughly (until juices run clear)
The main stuff:
In a large saucepan, saute the onion in butter until tender.
Sprinkle with flour, salt, and pepper. Stir in the milk until blended.
Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Add the chicken and vegetables; cover and simmer until heated through.
Serve over mashed potatoes. Enjoy.
Mr. Murphy said this is one of his new favorite dishes so hopefully you all feel the same.
