Bruschetta Chicken - March

Breaded Chicken
1 lb chicken
1 c crushed croutons
1/4 c grated Parmesan
1 t oregano
1 egg
1 clove of garlic
2 T flour

Bruschetta Topping
2 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 T olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
3 T basil, minced
1/2 t salt

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and complete these three steps. First, combine croutons, Parmesan and oregano in a bowl. Next - in another bowl - whip the egg and minced garlic together. Finally, sprinkle flour onto a plate.

Taking one piece of chicken at a time, coat with flour and dip into the egg mixture. Then coat that piece with croutons, and place it onto a baking dish. When each piece of chicken has been breaded, add the bruschetta topping. Bake for 20 minutes.

Grilled Chicken Salad Recipe

Ingredient list:

Chicken breast

Lipton onion soup mix

Cardini's caesar salad dressing

Romaine lettuce

Directions:

Thaw Chicken.

In ziplock bag, coat chicken with olive oil (1/3-1/2 cup) and add soup mix.

Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Grill or Saute in saucepan (the thicker the chicken, the longer you'll need to cook on each side)

Cut chicken into strips and place on top of lettuce, then add dressing.

Beef Pot Roast

Beef Roast 1 1/2#

Carrots 1/2# (~3 lg)

Potatoes 2# (~5 md)

Garlic cloves ~4 medium

Onions 3/4# (~2 md-lg)

Onion soup mix

Salt/Pepper

Olive oil

Either use crock pot, stove top or moderate oven. If stove top or oven, drizzle oil in bottom of pan and rub to coat.

1. Place onions in bottom of dish then drop roast on top in center of pot.

2. Arrange potatoes, carrots and garlic cloves around roast.

3. Add water to dish ~1"-1 1/2"

***you need to do step 3 before adding the oil drizzle or you may end up rinsing off your salt and pepper glue;)***

4. Drizzle oil over veggies and then season entire dish with salt and pepper (especially over the veggies:).

5. Dump 1/2 - 1 pkg of onion soup mix on beef.

6. Cover and cook over low heat for 4-6 hours.

I cooked mine this last time over our wood stove which is NOT reliable with it's temperature. I put it in before church and was done and smelling great when we returned from church. With a roast it is best to over cook to be sure the meat is tender:) It should pull apart easily if cooked.

NOTE: If you find you are doing this as a last minute meal, thaw meat in microwave. Thaw veggies in a bowl of hot water (or microwave if really limited on time). Be sure to put it in around breakfast if serving for lunch OR at lunch if serving for dinner.

Into each bag of meat, measure 4 c pasta sauce and 2 c rice. Divide the onion, bell peppers & olives evenly among the bags of meat/rice.

Seal bags & massage gently to distribute the ingredients.
