If you are one of my cooking blog followers you are probably wondering why this is not a cookie recipe. Well after making another recipe from the book this week and being completely disappointed I have decided to begin posting my own recipes. I must have made all the good cookie recipes already from the previous book and trust me there seem to be no more. With all that said, here is something I made this week that we had for dinner--real food to really get your husband in the kitchen--
Russian Chicken
For chicken--1/2 cup Russian Salad Dressing (I have used Catalina-can use fat free also)
6 oz (3/4cup) apricot preserves
1 package dry onion soup mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste, I like more than than)
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Mix together the salad dressing, preserves, soup mix. Place chicken breasts in a square baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle garlic powder over top of breasts. Pour preserve mixture over chicken. Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
For Noodles
1-5oz package wide egg noodles, boiled and drained
1 10 3/4 cup cream of chicken soup
1 2oz jar pimentoes drained
1 cup chopped red or yellow pepper
1/2 cup chopped chives or onion (I prefer the taste of chives)
1 cup colby cheese (melts better than cheddar)
1 cup milk
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup bread crumbs
With the boiled noodles combine all ingredients except bread crumbs. Place in a sprayed casserole dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake for 45 minutes at 325 degrees.
Sidenote--I always spray my dished with non stick spray even if it says not to, I do not like scraping stuck food off my dishes. Also I will use fat free, 2 % options when I can-I have generally found no change in taste when I have done that. The recipes I post are the ones that I have been saving and finding for years. I have been collecting recipes since I was a young girl babysitting at people's houses-I would look through their magazines and write the recipes down-this has been a 30 plus year pattern. I always make the food exactly like the recipe says the first time--after that if I like it I change it up--vere few recipes in my collection are the original-I have made them my own. With that--enjoy this dish and will post more as they come-Have a great 4th of July! Lisa
