Catalina Chicken
I am so excited for this post because this is from one of my favorite readers!! Well, it's from my cousin, Lichelle, so maybe I am a little biased, but I love to know that someone is reading my blog and giving me recipes to try.
6-8 pieces of boneless, skinless chicken
1 cup of catalina salad dressing
1 can of cranberry sauce or 2/3 cup Apricot Jam
1 packet of onion soup mix
Place chicken in a 9x13 casserole dish. Mix the rest of the ingredients together. Pour over the chicken. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour at 350 degrees until chicken is cooked through.
When I read my email yesterday, and saw her recipe, I went to the store and bought the ingredients I needed right then and there!! I know kind of silly, but I could not contain my excitement. I doubled the recipe to make enough for four adults and enough for leftovers! My favorite type of recipe! I also, couldn't find apricot jam at our grocery store, so I used cranberry sauce instead.
I know easy right?? When I saw this recipe, I was really worried that the husband wouldn't like this and honestly, I am not sure he was totally honest with me either. Since we live with my parents right now, I get very mixed reviews about the new recipes I try. This is how our evening played out...
John: Wow, this is good. This is delicious. Wow, I can't get enough!
LuAnn: Laura, you have outdone yourself! This is amazing!!
John: What is in this?? It is so good!!
Laura: Josh, what do you think?
Josh: It's okay!
So much for making me feel good!! I guess, I can please the regular people in the world. On a scale of picky-eaters 1-10, and the least picky being a 1!! My dad would be a 0, my mother would be a 4 or 5, and Josh would be a 9! This gives you an idea of how to compare the responses I received!
Coming up later this week: Whole Wheat pancakes that you can make in bulk and store in the freezer until you want it! Yeah! Thanks Lichelle!!

I love making this so easy and people love it. I actually make mine in the crock pot. My mom insists it is better in the oven I like the ease of crock pot.
ReplyDeleteOnce I start cooking again, not using a mason jar I will send you s few new ones, what else is there to do here other then cook??
This is a favorite at the Young house too and I also make it in a crock pot. SO easy and smells so good when you walk in the door after church!
ReplyDeleteI laughed so hard at everyones responses. It made me miss your family and parents. We had such a blast visiting you guys. I'll have to try the cranberry, that sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteThis was a hit at our house. Even Morgan ate all the chicken and she never does that. She's a one or two bite type of girl, but not with this. THANK YOU!
