Cranberry Chicken

The picture I have of this doesn't look great so I will get a new one.  But it is super yummy! When I had the twins, I had two different people bring this to me.

2-3 Chicken Breasts
1 packet of Onion Soup Mix
8 oz Russian Salad Dressing
1 can of Cranberry Jelly or you can make your own using fresh cranberries

Place chicken, cut up or whole in baking dish.  In a bowl, mix together the onion soup mix, Russian dressing, and cranberry jelly.  Mix well and pour over chicken.  Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until completely cooked.  Serve over rice. 

If using fresh cranberries make that before you do anything else.

Spinach Artichoke Dip

or another way to serve it...

 I made this for a Halloween party and I forgot to bring my dishes (and more importantly, leftovers) home.  Guess I'll just have to make it again!

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened 

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 clove garlic, peeled and minced

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

salt and pepper to taste

1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a small baking dish.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic, basil, salt and pepper. Gently stir in artichoke hearts and spinach.
3. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven 25 minutes, until bubbly and lightly browned.

Honey Glazed Chicken

I got this recipe from a recipe blog called My Sisters' Cucina. You'll love it if you like curry. This dinner was super yummy and I give them full credit. Carson even said it was good and he usually won't try my food so you know it's gotta be good. Mine looked different than theirs but either way is fine.

Honey Glazed Chicken
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 cup butter
4 chicken breasts

Preheat oven to 350. Mix flour, salt and cayenne pepper together in a large ziploc bag. Drop chicken in bag and shake to coat. Melt butter and place in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Place flour coated chicken in baking dish and turn to coat both sides with butter. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

Honey Glaze Sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp curry powder
1/4 cup butter, melted

Combine all ingredients. Pour over chicken until well coated. Bake for an additional 45 minutes. Serve over rice.
